Does anyone have experience storing saltwater mixed using Aquaforest Sea Salt?
I have a 20 Gallon AIO, and the most time consuming part of my weekly water changes is mixing just a few gallons of saltwater. It mixes very quickly, which is convenient. But when it comes to mixing just 3-5 gallons...

Hey eveyrone hoping I could get some guidance. I’m brand new to saltwater tanks and started small. I have a 10G with a small pair of clowns and 2 Ceriths. The tank is 2 months old. It recently had this algae bloom and wanted to know if this is the normal “ugly” phase or if it’s something else...
Hi guys, I'm looking for a bit of advice. I have a 60-gallon cube, and in 2 years or less, I will be moving back home where I will have my 150-gallon. I can not use my 150-gallon tank in the house I currently live in. My question is, can I place small fish 1-3 inches in size now but will grow...

So my uncle passed away back August and left behind several of his tanks, only one saltwater tank with life in it. It’s a biocube, but he was pretty weak towards the end and admittedly it got a little out of hand. I somehow managed to drive the tank and fish from Colorado to Washington and keep...
I’m new to salt and haven’t setup my tank yet, it’s a 20 gallon water box cube, any thoughts about the rock scape for it. FYI I mainly keep freshwater fish tanks and don’t know how to aqua scape saltwater.
I recently bought an imaginarium test kit. And every time I test for nitrites I get a purple coloration instead of the blue colorations that this test kit says I should be getting. It could be an accident on the part of the packaging that includes the legend. But I'm not sure.
for reference...
Hello! Recently, I've noticed tiny creatures in my 16-gallon saltwater aquarium, similar to worms but with miniature hands. They've been consistently present in my filter during changes. Unlike the ones in videos, mine walk between rocks and don't swim. Any insights on what they are and if...
So I’ve had this 13.5 gallon tank for about a year now and I’ve had a pair of clowns and a court jester goby for most of it. Recently the court jester died (looked up why after and apparently most of them just starve themselves for no reason) I would like to add a new fish so any suggestions? I...

I have 2 water storage containers that I used for storing RODI and Saltwater for the past few years. These tanks were originally used on a whole house RODI/softener system. I'm no longer using them and was going to throw them out, but figured Id offer them to someone for free if they want them...
I keep thinking about why it seems as though freshwater fish diseases seem less-commonly talked about compared to saltwater fish diseases and was wondering if anyone else had any insights/thoughts.
My guesses on why this is were that:
a. Freshwater fish might be more disease resilient as they...
So I am new to saltwater and reefing. I have kept freshwater for some time and recently did a fish sale for store credit with a local fish shop. The fish shop is more of a fresh water store, but does sell some saltwater fish and coral. The only coral they have labeled is their high end $200 and...
