Sometime last week, one of our 2 seahorses refused to latch and had some fairly poor behaviors where she started refused to eat. The situation reached a peak where we were dipping her in methylene blue for 30-45 minutes at a time with a bubbler + tube feeding him seachem mixed paste from mysis...

Used about 1.5 gallons in my previous systems and loved it. I'm being super-lazy on my current builds, and don't feel like setting up a reactor. Happy to ship for selling price + actual shipping cost. DM me your zip for estimate.

Hello fellow reefers. Happy Thanksgiving to all here! The ask: I am seeking advice on adding a new equipment (not a refugium) in my filtration arsenal. Based on my small research, a biopellet reactor in sump (just in front of my protein skimmer) would work in my situation to bring down...

Hello all, So the eggs hatched on Thursday and were looking great this morning. I did just 4 things. 1) I added fresh saltwater 2) added about 6 drops of Seachem Prime directly into the fry tank 3) I realized my air tube was twisted and no Oxygen was going in the tank for just 2 hours. 4) added...

Hello Reef2Reef community, I'm thrilled to kick off a diary for my Aquamedic Armatus XS aquarium and share my journey with you all. I'm Tim, and my tank was established on July 19, 2023. The aquarium boasts a 7-liter capacity. Inhabitants of my aquarium: I currently have 6 sexy shrimps...

Hi guys, I've been doing some research on products I might get for my tank, and came across 3 relatively similar products all made by Seachem, and I'm wondering if anyone knows what each of them do specifically, or how they work together. The main issues with my tank that I'm looking to solve...

Hi everyone. I just accidentally dropped one or two drops of seachem reef dip in my tank. It's around 50 gal total. Should I do something? I figured since it's so diluted, I wouldn't have problems. The tanks is 1 month old and I have a pair of clowns and some GSP. Thanks

Hello, I don’t know how exactly all started but I have high ammonia for over 3 weeks now. I’m adding api ammonia lock, prime, api quick start and stability.I did water change 4 times and ammonia is still the same. I had star fish that my puffer was picking all the time and die and one small...

I recently switched from Red Sea dosing products to Seachem products. I emailed Seachem and they were nice enough to send me a calculator excel sheet on how much to mix with RO water to make a stock solution… this is where I’m struggling I am now almost double the daily dose of the Seachem...

I am new to Saltwater. I do not have any corals. I have 2 clownfish. Redsea reefer 425. I keep putting in Alkalinity, Cal, and MG thru apex DOS. The levels keep dropping. I do an automatic water change of 1.5 gals every day. I use Classic Sea Salt Mix. Alkalinity - 9-10 dKH (approx) Calcium...

This is about Seachem Clarity and its use for water clarifying. I don't know exactly what it is, but I know a common guess that it is not, and I thought I'd post a little about how it seems to behave. The manufacturer page describes it as "...the ultimate clarifier for both fresh and saltwater...

Aqueon 40 breeder with glass lid. Comes with Seachem Tidal 55 and Tidal 75. Also comes with a Cobalt neo-therm 200 watt heater. Back panel is covered with black vinyl, not paint. Also comes with a black stand with a shelf. No cracks or leaks. Purchased a large tank and won't be using this one...

What coral dip do you use? Are you loyal to a certain brand? Use depending on situation? Don't use it at all? Let me know down below.

I decided to switch to Seachem products, but ran into problems. First, I am confused by the level of sulfur in fresh water. I used Vibrant salt and sent fresh salted water to ICP-test. The level of SO4 was almost 2 times higher than the norm: 5400 at a norm of 2500. Secondly, freshly salted...

I'm currently on Day 15 of my cycle and my ammonia reading using a Salifert kit has been sitting at .25 for a good week (nitrites are .1, nitrates are 100, lights have been off, dosed a bottle of Dr. Tim's One and Only on Day 1 and Day 10, and only added ammonia on 3 days as instructed). My...

I don't want to start a debate on whether or not (and how) Prime detoxifies ammonia. There are plenty of raging debates on that already. I want to ask a purely hypothetical question. Now, assuming Prime does what it says (remember, we're not here to debate this), would a person be able to...

I'm a relative newbie to dosing and I'm trying to educate myself as much as I can but with limited time to read up on it, I can't make an informed decision on my own right now. I've been dosing with baked baking soda and calcium chloride but I'd like to try Tropic Marin's Carbocalcium because it...

What is better? Seachem PhosGuard, PhosNet, or PhosBond? Why? All of the labels make it seem like they all serve the same purpose? Thank you!

I just treated with focus + kanaplex + metroplex for 14 days then 14 days of copper and now 14 days of observation. During this period, I have been doing frequent water changes bringing copper down to 0.33ppm. I am preparing for 2 melanurus wrasses and I’m wondering how I can get copper to a...

I have a 50G where I mostly keep LPS and tubastrea. But I wanna keep NPS soft corals (i.e. red finger gorgonian) later down the road, so I'd consider this a heavy bioload 50G. ;DeadCurrent setup and problem. Originally, I only used a skimmer for mechanical filtration so I got an oversized one...

Hello fellow salties, I finally dipped my toe into the wonderful world of salt. It's a 5g brackish setup so I don't know if it qualifies for the build thread section but nonetheless I love mixing up my bucket of salt and checking it with my refractometer and making sure it matches my tank. It...

I know I will need to test before doing additives. I don't have a LFS nearby and want to get some supplies in advance. My tank has been cycling and I want to be ready as I stock my tank. What additives should I have on hand for fish, soft, sps, and lps reef tank? I obviously won't have all of...

Hi I'm debating which HOB filter to buy. I was planning on turning them into DIY refugium with chaeto. I know the Aquaclear filters are super popular for the diy hob refugium but I seriously dislike that it doesn't self-prime. I have yet to see anySeachem tidal refugium diy which is why im...
