treatment

Hello I have a new white tail bristletooth tang in qt and he has had what appears to be open wounds. Anyone seen this before or is this just possibly from collecting?

About a month or so ago I had a small patch of this red colored algae pop up in my tank. Every time I try and vacuum it out it spreads slightly more and comes right back the next day. Color intensifies as the lights turn on and starts to disappear as lights turn off. It's a rusty red color - not...

Hi everyone, My yellow tang has been looking bloated for the past day and it’s getting a bit worrying. At first I thought it overate mysis (which I have to admit I might have overfed the day before) but now it definitely looks like it’s more than that. Could it be constipated or air trapped? I...

Hi everyone! I’m new here. I decided to join the forum because many of the questions I’ve had recently were already answered in the discussions here. I have a tank with macroalgae and soft corals, and I’ve recently started to notice the first signs of Bryopsis. I’d like to know if anyone has...

I recently figured out that I actually have dinoflagellates and not cyano through quick researching. do you just increase nitrate and phosphate then dose bacteria and pods, or is there more than just that? do I still do weekly water changes or stop doing them? do I still run my protein skimmer...

Hey all, I have a bit of a story and would love your input. I purchased a complete system from a local reefer, it was a 150 gallon FOWLR system with lots of fish and plenty of nice rock and equipment. I moved the fish into a 36x18x24 holding tank, with about half the rock in the tank and the...

Hello, so the title says it all - my BTA made home right next to my acropora and it brushes a bit off the acro branch to the point it got white, so I guess that part has died out. I can irritate the BTA any try and put it somewhere else in the tank but my question is - should I, and if so how...

We have had this Vlamingii Tang for a little while now and it has developed these white spots over the last two weeks along with raised bumps around his mouth. Tanked with a Purple Tang and a Sohal Tang. The other two Tangs are acting fine and nothing out of the ordinary visually with them but...

Hi, Could you please help me identify this species of Dinoflagellate. They seem to fade off at night and get more and more on top of the sand as the day goes by. My snails seems to go belly up and my zoas are definitely upset for the last 2 weeks since it started to get out of control. I am...

Three Little white spots appeared on my copper band butterfly today and I don’t know for sure what it is, but I’m assuming it’s it if you could look at the photos and verify and any advice on how to treat it with coral in the aquarium I’d appreciate it. Don’t mind the water spots on the aquarium...

Last night I noticed the spots on my skunk clowns, so I spent 3 hours getting them out of the tank and put them in QT and started copper treatment. Now tonight my white tail bristletooth tang has it and it’s much worse than my clowns. The problem is that my QT tank is 10 gallons and I cannot fit...
