Okay so, my tank is about 5 days old but it came with live rock, live sand and 2 corals which r doing fine. Now someone gave me an offer which I think is a very good deal but I'm not sure if I can add fish yet, ( I've been using bacteria in a bottle ). The offer he gave me is : 1 firefish 1...

Can anybody tell me why is it that when my tank get really dirty and I scrub the glass off and blow off the rocks my acro frags die every single time. The frags will look great the entire time until I clean the tank... This very turbid water the cleaning creates clearly ticks them off to the...

After reading a bunch, I recently took the plunge into collecting what I need for a FOWLR tank. I've had freshwater tanks, but this will be my first SW tank. Some day I might upgrade to a reef tank, but for now I want to focus on the basics of keeping fish alive. I have a 37-gallon column tank...

I received my new GBTA yesterday, and after acclimating, put him in a nice little glass container on the wall of my DT where my clowns have been hosting my ammonia alert. They were immediately interested, and then they started picking at his mouth. I read on other threads that's petty normal...

Anyone have an idea what these white fibers/strands/hairs are on my frogspawn coral? I can't tell if it's coming FROM the coral or if it's just wrapped around. I can say though that it's gotten more pronounced and it is moving onto/attaching to the rock as you can see. The coral itself is always...

My system is a Red Sea Max E-170. I have installed the sump upgrade kit. My question is how to balance the pumps: the one in the rear sump and the one in the undertank sump. I want a tank turnover of about 18 times per hour with our seahorses, so with our tank volume the pump should be about...

Hello, I'm new to reefing and I currently have a 20g Red Sea Max Nano with corals and a neon blue goby. I'm looking to add two more fish and was debating on getting two Ocellaris Clownfish (not necessarily a breeding pair - just two juveniles). I've heard as they mature, clownfish get aggressive...

Hi All, I am hoping I can get some help with my green bubble tip anemone. I have only had it for 2 weeks. From the start, the anemone would inflate and deflate several times throughout the day. I wasn’t too concerned as it would usually inflate within an hour or so. In the last couple days...

I was wondering if hi fin gobies can hide in the sand without a pistol shrimp. Haven't seen it for a day. My live rocks don't have any holes for it to hide in.

Hello, I got this clownfish last Sunday. My lfs already had him in step 1 and 2 medication ( the green and blue one). Also when I got him I did a FW dip and he had no flukes. He is in copper for the last 9 days ( @2.0ppm - Copper Power). He had some white spots the second day and after that he...

I have a carpenter wrasse in my nano tank for quite awhile now, he has been doing well but when I looked at it this morning, it was lying on its side on the live rock and a few hours later it was lying on the floor. When I tap on the tank, it swam back up. It still eats and comes to the top of...
