toxic

Good afternoon all. Trying to get an accurate id of my Palys and how toxic they are.

Now that I'm keeping zoas, Does this mean that the water in my tank is toxic? Even an accidental splash onto your mouth or face would be bad? Palytoxins on my filter sock? And inhaling beside my tank is dangerous because it's leveled almost the same of my height? And every evaporation, does...

Over the past year, I’ve gotten pretty knee deep in this hobby. WWC and Top Shelf Aquatics are down the street from me where I’ve made friends at both and have become very aquented with the employees . I was lucky enough to make friends from Saltwater Aquariums and quite a few other well know...

Hey guys, New reefer here. I have a 40B with a 20L sump. On my drain line I made the mistake of putting a brass nipple and gate valve. The sump has been running for about 6 days. I realize now that brass is not good for my tank but I’m wondering how long it is until it becomes totally toxic...

Love the variety of colors of Zoas, but the wife has put a hard stop on bringing ANY livestock that has a toxin in them into the house. I’ve tried to make a reasonable case that with care and protection, “toxic” livestock are no-more dangerous than the DrainO under the sink. All efforts have...

Hello everyone, I am new to the saltwater hobby, I’ve had a 20Gallon Long saltwater aquarium for around 11 weeks now. In the aquarium, I have 3 clownfish, a blue hippo tang, a damsel, two shrimp, a few corrals and several snails. I had a starfish and two gobys (did not have the gobys at the...

Stupid question here as I’m new to corals…. Neon Blue Green Toxic Hammer Is this poisonous and if so do I need to do anything special to get the toxins out of tank….. is it toxic to handle or will it harm my other hammers or fish…. Sorry for the daft question

I have small cell amphidinium dinoflagellates in my tank. Was wondering what affect the Dino's have on my fish as I am currently not running carbon. My tang seems to be breathing a little bit faster than normal. Could it be from the Dino's toxins?

So this was sold to me as a Toxic Shock Paly from Aquarium Depot. I think this isnt what I ordered but I could be wrong, see below for what mine look like and what the selling image is. (Their Image) (Mine) It's probably just the photo editing, but I feel like theirs has a more obvious...

I've heard that some people go as far as to supplement iodine in their tanks to help their xenia flourish. I haven't been able to verify this theory (and believe me I've tried), but that seems to imply that xenia is a bio-accumulator of iodine. And if thats true then... Well, it probably...

Hi, as a homeowner, I’ve got pounds of leftover tile. Although some too big to use, some are perfect colony size for coral frag propagation. Some of the fancy tile might look pretty cool in the tank as well is there any reason to believe that house grade or even commercial grade tile would be...

Purple/Red Rhinopias Scorpion fish relaxing in his new home!

I have several single and double head frags of my toxic green hammer. It has been growing in my system for 3 years. $35 per head. Located in Texas in the Dallas Fort Worth metroplex

I moved into a new house and plan to start my first tank. The house is infested with spiders and I had to spray pretty much everything with raid spider and Scorpion killer. All of my equipment is still unopened and not exposed. When do you think I would be safe to get the tank up and running...
