I have special buckets that I keep next to my tank. When I clean the outside, I use the stuff from petco that won't hurt fish but I haven't used that in 2 months

Yes. I tested the water before and after I put it in my tank and everything was really good

I ran it 30 gallons and dumped it all out just to be safe

I use ro/di water. The only thing I added to my tank was a royal gramma. I haven't moved or added any rocks or sand. No cleaning products were used anywhere near my tank. I always wash my hands before doing maintenance on my tank. One thing I noticed was that all the fish had their mouths wide...

I haven't added any stock in a month. Temp is 78 and the salinity is 1.24, 65 pounds of live rock.

Tank is 10 months old and has been doing great

I currently have a 55 gal saltwater tank. I have 2 black ocellarus clownfish, 5 green chromis, a royal gramma, green mandarin, yellow watchman goby, 2 cleaner shrimp, 5 blue leg crabs, pistol shrimp, and a couple snails. I recently bought a 125 gal tank and I'm waiting for a sump to be built...

The past couple weeks, I've been having problems with hair algae but my blue leg crabs and emerald crabs seem to have taken care of most of it. Is there anything I can do to keep it from dying?

I recently purchased a small montipora from my LFS. The past week, it started turning green in the center and just keeps spreading. I use RO/DI water and I just did a water change 2 days ago. Nitrates are <5, same with nitrates, PH is 8.3. I have it toward the middle of my tank with medium water...

What kind of algae is this? Is there any kind of snail or crab that will eat it? It's getting worse every day. My nitrates are <5, ammonia is 0, ph is 8.3. I did a water change about a week and a half ago

I found this guy in my tank today. Is he alright to have around or will he hurt my corals?

They probably arnt getting fed enough. I had seaweed out for mine for most of the day and he constantly ate that. I also fed him spirulina brine shrimp or mysis shrimp twice a day. That's what I would say is the problem.

All my other fish are doing great tho so idk

Ammonia was none or really really low. No slime or white dots. She ate this morning and I didn't notice anything until after I added some live rock. I checked all my levels after I added the live rock and everything was good. Nitrates were less than 5. The only thing that was a little low was...

Other than that one red dot, she looks fine. No reddish fins or anythinf
