So I just recently got my first saltwater tank setup. After a 3 day cycle I decided to get a single Percula Clownfish to help get that ammonia spike for the full cycling process. But, just yesterday, I noticed it had this white stuff start appearing under it's right eye. I'm only more familiar...

Hi there, I've had this cluster of candycanes for the better part of a year, and they've always been fine. Suddenly, during the last few days or so, the bottom group has started shriveling up, and you can even see the white skeleton on the left one. The top group that is attached to them is...

Good afternoon everyone! I have decided to take things seriously and as my LFS says, "Become a huge nerd". I made the decision to buy a Salifert bundle and have test kits for Phos, NO3, ALK, Mag, Cal, and pH. I have created a gameplan to test my tank's levels every day for two weeks straight...

Good evening. My Nero 3 and AI Prime have been running without any issues for over a year! For the last few days, the Nero 3 has said it cannot connect to BLE. Sadly, I have not been able to turn on Feed Mode to feed. A few minutes ago, I tried fixing it, and accidentally deleted the AI Prime...

Ive been dealing with aiptasia for months on end, I'd say around 7 months. I first used the Red Sea aiptasia x, as I was advised to do so by my local fish shop (who coincidentally introduced this into my tanks!) it didn't work, they all spread, they got huge, they reproduced and now that entire...

Hi everyone, I am in need of some help with my reef tank again. I was on here last month with a cyano issue that has now been pretty much-resolved thanks to the help of the users of this website. I have another issue that I am now tackling and am having some trouble with. After clearing green...

My best little friend is looking really really bad. She was swimming near the surface and sitting sideways on top of the cord of my filter and when I touched her with something she quickly got up and swam away to another spot to do the same thing and not moving, I have put her in my makeshift QT...

I don’t know what happened, fish eyes are now cloudy and underneath whiting with a pale coat. I did some research and I believe it’s brook disease but I’m not 100% sure and even if it is, it’s 12:38 am and nothing is open what can I do? And is this the disease I’m looking at? Please help, thank...

Can this CSB be saved? Long story short, I watched this poor anemone slowly shrivel down until one day it was just gone. (now this is in my office tank and i have 5 other anemones in there that look great). I did try to remove it once i noticed something was wrong, but my rocks are cemented and...

I recently added a queen angel in my tank and now my blue angel is being aggressive. I’m not sure if their compatible I did some research and haven’t found anything. This is my best hope for some answers. He’s chasing her around I had no choice but to turn my lights off. So she can hide.

I need help with my torch coral. I fed it last week and it’s been doing worse ever since. I don’t think that it’s a problem with bjd because it probably would have died a while ago as a result. It’s been slowly declining for the past 4-5 days. Would anyone have an suggestions? I dipped in iodine...

Hello, I am new to reefing and being overwhelmed with the amount of info on which corals can sit next to which and what light and flow each need. Should have done a lot more thinking while I was building my scape. I would like to have a mixed reef with softies, LPS, and eventually SPS. Here...

Hey everyone! So, about 4 months ago I set up a Red Sea 20g Max Nano. It’s been an awesome tank but my concern is that it might be overstocked. I know 4-5 is typically the max on fish but if they are juvenile you can possibly get away with more. I know opinions vary on that. Anyways I currently...
