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 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...

Please help! I have no idea what’s going on with my fish, first my dusky wrasse has some sort of infection but I can’t figure out what it is, and now my royal gramma is covered in what looks like a white sheen, but has no specks like velvet. He’s breathing heavy and lethargic.

Hey everyone, so I just recently had to qt my tank due to a fluke outbreak. After getting everyone through two rounds of prazi pro and a couple days of no symptoms. I noticed my dusky wrasse was having issues with his side right behind his pectoral fin. Upon further inspection it looks like...
