New year, new tank!!! And this build is finally more than a dream!! So, I guess this is where I do the basic beginning of a tank build intro so here we go: Tank: Red Sea reefer nano with black stand (21 display volume with 7 gallon sump) Equipment: -Sicce 2.0 return pump - A360 (possibly sell...

it was suggested that I post over here instead of general fish discussion. i just saw this spot today. Fish is still acting normal and eating like a pig. No new additions in the past 4 months. I’m wondering about the white spot behind his pectoral fin. Sorry for all the spots in the last...

i just tore out my rocks and sand bed and re-aquascaped my tank. I have about 20 pounds of live rock in my sump that has been established for two years and three Brightwell bio blocks. I used the same water that was in the tank previously, will my tank cycle again or am I ok to add fish right away?

my tank has cycled using Dr. Tims ammonia. I've redosed several times and just redosed again after getting these test results. If nitrates stay like this does anybody see a reason to do a water change before introducing fish? This is a 120 gallon fish only system. I've got 6 fish that have...

I've found this little weird crawling bug things in my tank. I have no idea what they are so I could use some help! They seem to have little legs and antennae. They're super tiny so the pictures aren't the best but I'll find a way to make them more clear!

That would be my tank. Is there something specific to shrimp but not other crustaceans that is toxic? I have hermits, emerald crabs, copepods and amphipods galore and they all thrive. But every time I put a shrimp in my tank, it dies within days. I have had two pistol shrimp, one peppermint...

im not sure if this is the right section but I’m trying to figure out what this is. It is growing on the bottom of my frag racks, in the skimmer and return section of my sump and around the skeleton of some of my LPS. I’ve been removing from my corals but there is a good amount in the sump now...

Well first what I would consider a real "tank emergency" for myself. A group of 5 Blue Reef Chromis went into QT about a week ago and are not doing so hot. Last night I found one dead, I thought it had been bullied due to some physical damage I saw. I'm wondering now if this was damage due...

so came home and my nudibranch was stuck in my protein skimmer.. shot my nitrates through the roof. Got him out and changed the water so everything is good now but my question is if you know these little guys take a look. Is he a goner or can i QT him back to health?

I started using R2R 2 weeks before I got my reef started. I have gotten a huge amount of support and advice from the community. My tank is finally super happy and starting to look gorgeous! I want to thank everyone who has helped me over the last few month! With all the fast responses and advice...

I have had my mushroom rock for about a month or so now and this randomly piped up. At first sight I though it was aptasia but over the last week I am not so sure. Any thoughts?

Looking for a bubble tip anemone of some sort. What vendors have you guys ordered bubble tip anemones from? Or if any of you guys have any that are sale I'd love to see them! Need help from the #reefsquad Happy Reefing!!

Hello I need some help with my beautiful acan garden. I have lost about 50% of it in the last month. I am not 100% sure what the issue may be. I know for sure it is not brown jelly. I do know its some sort of bacterial infection makes be believe it is Slow Tissue Necrosis. Tissue loss begins on...

Hey guys, I've noticed this brown film type thing growing on my Northern Lights montipora. Wondering if anyone could ID this and tell me if there's any way to treat it. It doesn't seem to be spreading terribly fast and the coral doesn't seem too affected. Its polyps are still out and there is...

I have my 55g up and I am trying to get a good stocking list together. So far the only Must have for me is a pair of clown fish and I would really like some type of eel. My main issue is trying to find fish that are swimmers. I am trying to get a good amount of swimmers in it even though it only...

Hey! I'm wondering how I can create a group for my local reefing club! I saw the post once, but havent been able to find it again! If someone can send me a link/tell me how to do it, that would be really helpful! #reefsquad #mods

In my QT. Anyone know what this is?

I have had this 240g (96x24x25) going for a month or 1.5 month. I have 2 - 1.5in drain pipes. I am running a jebao DC 12000 and 2 out of 5 LED's on the controller are lit. I can't see any fish in the overflows, it is mind boggling for me. I have added a 1.30 min video. I can take as many videos...

Sooo, my mushroom rock is not happy. I got the coral last Saturday, acclimated him temp in the bag in my sump for 20min, then drip acclimated him for an hour to match my salinity, etc. (He came from 1.024 pH8.2) then I did a brayer dip (Brayer complete 10mL in 1C of water for 5 minutes, rinse...
