Hi everyone. I have a new tank that’s running for 2 or so months. Everyone seems happy but I noticed some poop getting stuck on my tailspot blenny and helfrichi firefish. I also noticed they would flash against the sand somewhat infrequently. I have gathered some things to treat (metroplex...

Hello All, I was wondering what a good starting cuc crew would be for a red sea max nano with two fish in to start with? any ideas? should i add them with the fish or after? many thanks

Hi guys, I just received a short spine urchin in the mail in a plastic bag.. obviously the bag leaked and when I received him he was in water that was maybe 1/4 his height. I've read that air is bad for urchins, so things didnt look good. I just filled his bag up with tank water, and let him...

Hey Reefers! I woke up today and found that my Debelius Purple Reef Lobster unfortunately passed away. I had him for 5.5 years and was curious how long they usually live in captivity? I haven't been able to find much information on their lifespans so thought I'd ask here

If you could have one snail species in your aquarium, what would it be? Okok, well, perhaps you can include honourable mentions in order of utilitarian role. Really though, I’m interested in your desert island one and only choice. One snail to rule over your aquarium reef.

Cant sleep and was just looking at my nightstand pico tank. I have quite a few of these little chitons (I think?) in my tank. As I'm watching my tank just now I see one releasing what looks like eggs. Anyone know more on whats happening here? Are they fertalized you think? I'm curious what their...

Hello there my fellow aquarists. I am new to the saltwater hobby, but I have been keeping freshwater tanks for almost 10 years now. I have a 10 gallon tank and here is a list of my current inhabitants: 1 Purple Firefish 1 Lettuce Nudibranch 1 Nassarius Snail 1 Anemone Shrimp 2 Blue Legged Hermit...

I have a timer on my light so it turns off before I come home from work, when I turned my room light on I saw a small crab with a red body with white spots and white legs, he’s probably only about a half inch across, any idea what it is?

This Saturday I spied a massive glass vase at a garage sale and for $8 I now have a new reef tank. It’s cylindrical and three feet tall and 10” wide, I’m thinking it’s around 10 gallons. My aquascape for this tank is going to be a pillar set against the side of the tank, without much open sand...

After stressing out about getting the aquascape "perfect" I finally came up with these two shapes.... the problem is that once I got a bangaii cardinal I realized that what I made is not ideal for a fish. I say that because my bangaii is usually brown and stressed out in the corner of the tank...

Who’s currently aquaculturing a variety of: • Photosynthetic sponges • Photosynthetic gorgonians • Rarer inverts • Cleaner shrimp, etc.? I’d love to support them and give them kudos. It’s hard to find a reliable source of these that are 100% aquacultured.

What inverts can be housed with carpet anemones? Looking to add shrimp and crabs. Also what fish can safely be with carpets with out getting eaten ? Thanks in advance

I've been doing a lot of reading on QT tanks, A LOT. ;Bookworm;Bookworm;Bookworm I want to set up a QT tank but my concern is that I've read that daily water changes are needed. I work 12 hour shifts 4 days a week and during my work week it would be almost impossible to have time to do a daily...

Longtime lurker here, I'm setting up my newest nano reef tank, which I bought through petco because they were the cheapest re-seller. They ended up giving me 25$ in store credit, but in general I try to avoid purchasing any livestock from them as they don't take particularly good care of their...

Hey everyone, this is my first post! I have been searching quite a while for mussels/ mussel cluster, or other unusual bivalves. That being said, does anyone know of any sites that sell them? Thank you very much for your time! IF YOU HAVE SOME IN YOUR TANKS SHOW'EM OFF, POST THEM BELOW!

hey guys i have a few questions on flatworms but first let me add some background information, i currently have a nano aquarium set up for a G. chiragra mantis shrimp and i has some other cuc in there as well but no corals or fish just a marine planted tank if you will dominated by macro algae...

Hey guys, how is it going? My tank is cycling yet but I want to add a cleaning crew in a few weeks, but I'm not sure if I should QT them. I read somewhere that inverts don't get Ich, so I shouldn't QT them. I plan on QT the clownfish when I add them, but should I do the same with the cleaning...

I'm looking for suggestions on what will be the best clean up crew for my 20g nano. I've acquired a few crabs that have made their way into my tank by hitchhiking on some coral, but that's all I have in there right now when it comes to clean up crews. I've heard from several sources that...
