Hi all, new here and posting for the first time. I have a 20-gallon IM Nuvo. It’s cycled and been running for almost 4 months. I slowly have been adding corals and snails. I decided to get my first fish (2 weeks ago) (after much consideration) and started with a Royal Gramma. It was smaller...

I just noticed this today and my coral beauty had been acting fine the day before. Can anyone identify what may have happened? I have used vodka to euthanize due to the severity and inability to swim. No signs of aggression in the tank other than the other fish picking on it when it was injured

Hello, I went on vacation for a week and somehow our fishsitter unplugged one return pumps and the heater. Temp went from 78 to 70F. When assessing the damage from that I found a black string and white bumps on a small colony. The polyps are still coming out just not in this photo since I was...

CBB is in qt for ich and then I’ll be doing prazi. Fish eating a ton and I think the fish is doing well. However, there’s a single black dot on the fin (see attached video). It’s been there a few days and I don’t see other spots for black ich and it looks too large or pronounced. I don’t think...

Currently stressed about some fish that are displaying fluke-like systems I noticed my blue leopard wrasse flash today and my copperband seems to be a bit more fidgety that normal. I noticed the fish go into the corner today and display flash like movements. I’m definitely paranoid now and am...

Just as the title says my brand new Pygmy hawkish has died with in the first 24 hours. I order it online at reef beauties and never had any problems with them. It’s in a 15 gallon tank being the only fish. I also bought a coco worm, feather duster and snails and they seem to be doing fine. I...

Unsure if it's ich? I placed him in qt and dosed rally reef pro while I get help from you guys. Thank you.

Hey just got a new BTA a few days ago. He looks good and was open for the first day, attached well and hasn’t moved spot yet but the last 2 days he’s remained balled up and hasn’t opened. Tank 6-7 month old.acclimatised for an hour. Salinity 1.024 alk 7.5 , mg and calcium normal range, temp 26...

I was gifted a mature, stable, but neglected 75g reef a few months ago, quickly added a lot of fish without quarantine and had A very mild ich outbreak. Started dosing Polyp Lab Medic in response and a few days later, I noticed small amounts of dinoflagellate algae everywhere in my display tank...

Ok , so this won’t be to most people’s liking since there’s dif strokes for dif Folks. As reefers we need to be more responsible than we are. We need to start helping our fellow hobby members become better reefers through less miss-information when we’re telling someone how to deal with pests...
