reef safe

Hi, i just got my first two corals for the tank this week and my pistol shrimp has went after both so far. The first was the hammer coral because it was in the sand bed so the shrimp didn’t like that I assume. Then today he attacked the zoas and knocked them over. I’m not sure what I should do...

The crabs I will be considering include the true crabs (Brachyura) and some "crabs" from Anomura, including hermit crabs (Paguroidea) and porcelain crabs (Porcellanidae). Horseshoe crabs (Limulidae) will be excluded. Over the years, I have heard mixed reports on how "reef-safe" crabs are in the...

Hello I am new to this forum, I'm not exactly new to the hobby (almost a year in) but am when it comes to corals. I was convinced to get some coral however I have two chocolate Chip Starfish. My first basically lives on my filter or the glass and never touches the ground, and my new one...

Hi is marine weld reef safe when fully cured…. Got a new magnet with a dimple in the epoxy…. Wanted to cover it.. thanks

Hello all, I’ve been having trouble with algae blooms during the day when my lights turn on and I have a UV sterilizer that was part of a yard sale bundle I got a few years back. I was wondering if anyone has tried this before and if it’s reef safe. My main concern is nitrifying bacteria but...

I am helping my friend decide on a stocking list for his new tank. He is upgrading from a 36 gallon bowfront to a 75 gallon. The 75 is equipped with a sump. The fish he is moving from the 36 to the 75 once it is cycled are a 8-10 inch snowflake eel and a rust angel. The tank was just filled and...

Wanting to gauge the reef-safeness of captive coral beauties. Since they are tank born and raised, they will never have seen a coral before nor known it as food. Biota says they won't pick at corals unless they are poorly fed. I love what they are doing over there but I don't buy it :D. If...

Hi all, In relation to ticked off corals from time to time, coupled with being able to sleep late and wake up late (vacation for the holidays), I’ve been looking at my tank more at night, i.e. during total darkness. I noticed quite a large population of these, and they seem to be congregating...

Hi are ferrite magnets reef safe with no eproxy or rubber around them? cheers

Are pistol shrimps actually safe for other livestock in the tank? Was supposed to buy a goby and pistol pair but went with a goby only since I read some that it killed their snails and shrimps. Now I'm actually planning to get one for the watchman goby. currently have 2 clownfish, 3 Nasarius...

Hey Guys, so I’ve never had an Angel before and I’m not interested in the Coral Beauty but more the Flame Angel. I know they’re more on the Reef Safe with caution side and I do plan on purchasing through World Wide Coral if I decide to get one so I know it’s going to be an ORA and not wild...

Hello, I’ve recently taken a liking to the saddle Valentini puffer. My question is if it would be happy at home in my tank. My tank is a 32 gallon biocube with mixed corals from sps to softies and a GBTA. Only nails are Tonga nassarius snails and trochus snails. I also have a cleaner shrimp...

Hi folks, can you please name these two circled anthias? Are they reef safe as well? Because one of the local members sent us a video of the lighter colored one picked up on softies but I heard anthias were supposed to be reef safe and beginner-friendly. Cheers!

I just purchased this to treat my reef tank but now that I read the pictures it doesn’t say reef safe, does anyone know if this is reef safe or safe for corals? I have used the red slime one but not this one I don’t know if it makes a difference or not

Could someone who's had a red serpent stafish in a reef tank chime in with their insight? I'd really appreciate it :) I found this old thead about it, but it's vague. It's unclear if there are multiple species of red serpent starfish, and if they are all reef safe. I just ordered a Red Serpent...

So I snagged a used 200 to 250 gallon storage drum for free. The person getting rid of it had bought the house and the old owner had left it there. The only thing he knew was that the owner owned a detergent making company and probably used it to store chemicals in it. Is there ANY way to...

I have a 30 gallon tank with some corals and a 20 gallon refugium. I currently have 2 clown fish and a diamond goby, and was thinking about adding 1 or 2 more fish. Since the clowns are always in the water column, and the goby is always on the sand, I was wanting to get a fish that will swim...

Are there any wrasse that would be reef and invert safe? I do have shrimp.

I have a 100 gallon reef tank that has been running for about 8 months now. I am thinking of adding a couple more fish to the community before the established fish become too territorial for any new arrivals. My current stock is as follows: Desjardini tang Powder blue tang Blue hippo Tang 2...

Simple can I use E6000 to glue dry rocks together?

Introduction It has long been a dream of mine to build a larger tank (like no doubt many of us) since I started keeping marine fish a century ago (approximately). After putting it off for far too long, I have finally decided to go all in on a new dream build! As with many things I set my mind...

Hello I am trying to put a list of fish together for a new build and I'd really like to stock it with fish only found around the Hawaiian islands. If you could give me some ideas that would be great. Also its for a 75 gallon and I'm sure ill be upgrading that as well at some point.

Just got this dude off of Live Aquaria DD. I've seen them from time to time and always thought they were pretty neat. From what I understand they are very similar to freshwater Pleco with the major exception of the Clingfish needing meaty foods. Just thought I'd see what everyone else has...

Has anyone else experienced this? Midas blenny has been in the tank for probably 4-5 months and this is the first time I've witnessed this behavior.
