I picked up a green bubble tip anemone a few days ago and it’s been hell trying to get it to attach. Right now it’s in a breeder box to keep it from flying around the tank. I’ve shut the pumps and place it on areas of flat bare rock with crevices hoping it will take hold and grab deep into the...

Recently I purchased an RODI unit for my nano reef because of the overwhelming benefits I’ve heard. I want to make sure I’m using it correctly. After the water comes out of the unit is it safe to just add salt to get to the desired salinity and then add to my tank? Or do I have to remineralize...

Recently I’ve been able to handle the algae in my nano reef except for areas that are hard for me to manually remove the algae from. Getting in between corals is difficult so should I attempt manual removal or add something that can get in between crevices and coral? If so what can I add? My...

I’ve started to get some pretty bad algae in my reef. I’m still attempting to get rid of the hair algae I have and then I see this stuff. I’m about 80% sure this is cyano, it comes off in sheets. Only thing is it’s grey in color so maybe it’s something else, idk. Are there any decent products...

I’m interested in knowing if anyone else has had a similar experience with these shrimp hosting corals instead of anemones. I have a few rock flower anemone in my tank but my shrimp refuses to leave this mushroom. I think it’s kind of interesting because I’ve never seen anything host a mushroom...

After coming back from reefapalooza I think I introduced some type of algae into my tank. I’ve had diatoms and cyano and this looks different from both but I could be mistaken. Any thoughts as to what it is and how to control it?

Over the past three days I saw what I thought was brown jelly disease but I’m starting to think it looks more like dinoflagellates. Can anyone identify it and give me some pointers on how to get rid of it? There’s more near my lps but I can’t get a good pic of it. It’s brown and stringy...

I picked this up thinking this was a war coral but I’m not very good with identification. It actually seems a lot like a montipora. Any ideas?

In the last week or so I’ve notice some kind of growth on the head of my bamboo shrimp. It seems to resemble black beard algae or something. I’m not familiar with all shrimp diseases so if any of you can identify this and what may have caused it that would be greatly appreciated.

I have a 20 gallon long tank which I’m going to be adding a paintball Co2 system onto. I’ve decided to go with the aquatek mini regulator but I’ve been having trouble finding a diffuser. I really would like it to be under $20 if possible. I’m looking for something that really produces a fine...

Hey everyone, I just wanted to share the journey of a new scape I’m setting up. I’ll post pictures of it now and then. Plus it’s been ages since I’ve been on here lol.

I'm looking for some ideas for a standard 10 gallon aquarium. I'm open to anything even if it's a single solitary fish. I was originally thinking a single betta macrostoma but I'd really love to see what you guys would stock in one. Don't be afraid to suggest "hard to find" either. Alright let's...

This stuff looks very similar to bba (black beard algae) but it's definitely a very brown color. This happened a few days after I rescaped this tank and it's literally covered every single plant and only the plants. I don't see it on any of my hardscape. It even looks like it's on the moss. Is...

I've seen people call this fish a dwarf chiclid sometimes or even a labyrinth fish. Are either of these claims true? Is it even related to chiclids in some way?

I just bought a group of otos and I'm wondering what species they are. Vittatus or affins?

I just bought I camel shrimp from my lfs for my picotope tank and was curious as to what brands of food are recommended for them. Anyone have any ideas? It's the only thing in the tank at the moment.

Woke up and I thought a centipede fell in my tank. Should I take this out? Is it a fireworm? What exactly do I do.

Just got into the saltwater hobby with a 3 gallon pico and was curious as to what is on my live rock. I have done planted tanks and have 2 set up with thriving plants, I'm very proud of that actually. I put some live rock into the tank and I was already aware of the bacteria it has on it put I...

My Scarlet badis just lies there for the past two days. When I first got him he was energetic eating and swimming in the plants. I have two and this one never really colored up much but compared to the way he is now there is definitely a problem. Does anyone know what's wrong?

Can golden wonder killifish live in brackish? If so what's an ideal salinity? Sent from my SM-G920V using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I just recently got this little guy and I'm pretty sure he's a male, but looking into jewel chiclids more I've realized it's hard for people to tell their genders. It's is a turquoise jewel so he's a hybrid (not sure if that changes anything) but people say that even the females have bright...

Can Monte Carlo grow with flourish excel as well as other ferts and high lighting? Everything besides co2 Sent from my SM-G920V using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I'd just like to know a plant that can live in a tank with literally everything but a co2 system. By that I mean a planted substrate (ada amazonia) dosing with flourish excel high light and everything but co2. ~ Thank you Sent from my SM-G920V using Aquarium Advice mobile app
