This flatworm looking creature came off my lettuce nudibranch. I purchases this nudibranch about a month ago not really any problems with it until now. When I was checking the tank a lunch it looked as if it had laid eggs. About 3 hours later this thing has been moving around the tank. The...

I disconnected the right cable on a COR 15 driver and now the status on Apex Fusion for the COR pump is "Disconnected" - how do I reconnect the pump? When I try the COR task, the COR driver colors do not change at all.

Getting ready to plumb this bad boy into existence. Any recommendations on return line nozzles, plumbing, or overall sump ideas, is appreciated! I plan to place an Icecap ReefSump 36XL. Currently I have a trigger ruby 36. Not a big fan of it due to little space for the skimmer I need. Also...

8/2023, Background: So it began, around 1993/1994 with a passed down 55 gallon fresh water aquarium, while serving in the army. That lasted a few years and I later built out a small Koi pond post ETS after moving to South Florida. Unfortunately, the pond idea was a little too established to...

So I have been running a 32 gallon biocube for about a year which has been fairly successful. I had a long and difficult battle with dinos for a few months which I eventually won. I knew that the reason I had the dinos was bottoming out of my nitrates and phosphates which had both reached 0.00...

Hello, who sell Orphek or3 blue plus? (24 inch)
