Hi all,
I have been trying to keep sps and lps corals in my tank for some time, I have noticed that my phosphate levels are registering on my Hannah UL range Phosphate tester around 0.9 and my nitrates tested with the Hannah test kit are around 75ppm. I have tried keeping all kinds of easy to...
I recently had a crash because of surgery and couldn't take care of my tank . I had a mixed reef with LPS Dominant with some softies my par was 150 at top to 50 at bottom. I am going to try and dabble into some lower light SPS or digitata and LPS dominant still. I am wondering if these par...
As my 90g mixed reef will be hitting the one year mark this fall, I’m very proud of how it’s turning out to be:
However, as you can see it’s very one sided and I would like to fill in the spaces with either some LPS that can give a “flowing” look to the right side, similar to the left side, or...
We’re looking at upgrading the stock light that came with our Aqua One 120L Mini Reef tank.
We currently have some SPS and fish, and looking to keep heading down the SPS road for now for coral.
Tank dimensions are 60x45x45cm. We were looking at a Red Sea ReefLED 50 light but there doesn’t...
So I started small at first in a 13 gallon. Then I moved up to a 32 gallon and now here I am in a 60 gallon. I’ve already set it up and had it going for a few months. Everything was transferred over (probably to quickly. I’m impatient.). Here are the picture of my tank.
I recently posted a thread about "Holy Grail Fish" that got a lot of interesting answers and was extremely insightful for someone new to the hobby - https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/what-are-some-of-your-%E2%80%9Choly-grail%E2%80%9D-fish.1107428/ .
I think it would also be good to get an...
Sooo.. A little back story over the years of reef keeping
I have kept a reef tank more than half my life (roughly 20 years now) but I crashed my 90 gallon sps dominate system about 6-7 years ago. Didn't have the funds to recover so I ended up selling everything 2 years later. 2 years ago I...
Hello everyone, my refugium has been running for around 10 or 15 days now and it dropped my no2 and no3 to undetectable levels. My phosphates are still pretty high (po4>2ppm).
My temp, ph, dkh, calcium, mg, sr, iodine and salinity are all constantly perfect, and all my livestock are thriving...
My little nano tank is thriving. I've moved home and no issues whatsoever.
I must admit I'm a little concerned about my birds nest acro but I don't know if she is just being a little stubborn.
What do you think?
Any recommendations on placement.
It's been 3 days so I think they're happy.
Hello all,
I have had a Red Scoly that was living life, fat and happy. Though today I noticed that it had black marks all over it and is retracted.
Some additional information:
Salinity: 1.026
Phosphate: 0.1
Nitrate: 20
Calcium: 400
Alk: 9
Mg: 1250.
Last week I did add an AI Blade to my...

I'd like to know if doing a Cipro treatment on DT has any effect on fishes and invertebrates?
I'm doing Cipro for the first time as i have recently lost a hammer and torch and i suspect its BJD. I have tried iodine dip and coral rx, unfortunately have been unsuccessful. I have decided to do...

Hi guys, it’s my first time keeping corals, in the past i’ve had fish only saltwater tank but i thought i’d give a try for corals. Just picked this guy up 30 min ago and do you guys have any recommendations for keeping corals? The fake anemone will be removed soon, and can you guys also...
Posting this in the LPS thread because most of the corals are LPS, but there are a few SPS as well.
Hi everyone, a while back I had dinos for the second time in my tank, and during that time There was a slow spike in alkalinity which I slowly lowered from 8.9 to 8.1, and a possible salinity...
Hey everyone,
Pretty sure a Feather Duster caught a ride in my Goni, but is it harming by setting up camp inside the Goni skeleton? Here are videos from a week ago with the gonis extended but now the Goni hasn't come out like it used to. the FD sticks out of the dead (darker) part of the...
Planning to do a predominantly LPS tank (Acans, Blastos, Goni, Euphyllia). Will potentially add SPS in the future depending on if I can get sufficient par without bleaching out the LPS.
I plan to add a few goni on the flat floating shelf to the top right. Euphyllia will be lower middle, and...
For my 32.5g, I have mostly LPS, hammers (wall and branching), and soft/Mushrooms and zoas. With the exception of my setosa montipora (SPS). It was originally sold as an encrusting and said it might be SPS at checkout, so I did some digging and research and we are managing! (I was scared to get...
