Hello all! :) I started up my first saltwater tank over the summer and am just now coming into my first problem and I can't figure out what is going on or how to fix it. It was doing so well up until 3 or so weeks ago. I have 2 zoa colonies, a star polyp colony, a duncan, some grassy looking...

Hm. I'll keep an eye I on it. Maybe it was just a little agitated. It had moved around a bit the last two days (current knocked it from its spot. Salinity was a little high but I just did a 50% water change. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I don't know where the white things went but there are definitely holes where they were. Doing a water change now

I'm pretty new to keeping corals. I got this guy maybe five days ago. He seemed fine the first couple of days, then on the third and fourth it didn't extend out as much as it had been. When I woke up this morning and put the lights on I saw these white spots/things on it. I poked the white spots...

As promised I went to my lfs today. I picked up 2.5 more pounds of LR for the tank. I'm pretty happy with the scape. It has plenty of nooks and crannys for my future tenant. :) While at my lfs they were having a sale and I couldn't resist grabbing a few corals. I got a blue spotted red...

I have been in the hobby for a few years now but have only kept planted freshwater tanks. I've wanted a saltwater since just after I got my first tank but have always been intimidated by saltwater. A friend recently set up a 30 gallon with relative ease. I had to take care of it while he was on...

Thank you all for your replies. I am hoping it's just a fert imbalance. Which now that I think about it is probably what it is. I have some flourish excel lying around. I just got lazy and stopped dosing it every time I did a water change when I got back from school for the summer. I'll begin...

Thank you guys. Pretty sure I have some root tabs lying around somewhere. I'll hunt them down after work and get them in. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

The root tabs won't cause any problem with the shrimp? Sent from my SCH-I545 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

The shrimp lay off my plants. They are well fed with their algae wafers. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Figured I'd throw in a full tank pic Sent from my SCH-I545 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Had to download the app to get the pictures on here. I have some leaf zone. I'll start dosing tomorrow. So it would be potassium if it's only really happening on a plant or two? All the other plants are doing well. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

So in my tank I have some crypts that do pretty well. But ona few leaves holes will begin to develop until the leaf is just gone. I don't know what could cause this to happen. The newer, bigger leaves grow faster than I lose leaves buti still want to get control of it.

Darn. Yeah I left the filter on. Figured the movement would help the peroxide spread.

Thanks. quick question on the hydrogen peroxide. Do I dose it everyday until the algae is gone or just the one time and let it do it's thing for a few days?
