I’ve have been trying to lower my salinity for a little over 2 months. For the first year of my tank, I used pre mixed salt water from my LFS. The salinity was way to high so I bought an Rodi machine to try and fix the salinity levels. I have only been putting RODI water in the tank which...

I bought an AquaticLife Twist-In 4 Stage RODI Unit and it has been very inconsistent when using it for weekly water changes. I have had it for about 2 months and the TDS reading is different every week. Some weeks I will get 2-5 ppm and others I will get close to 60 ppm. Am I supposed to use the...

What additions should I make to my clean up crew to deal with it? My red leg hermits, blue leg hermits, nassarius snails don’t do anything to the algae.

Got it in an assorted coral pack so I don't know the name. All I know is it does not look normal.

My coral beauty has ich and I need a qt tank for him. I need help setting it up though. I was thinking a 20 gallon container from walmart would do the trick for the actual tank portion. I have a spare heater. I was going to tank one of my pumps from my display since i have two in there instead...

Hi guys, I got a coral beauty angel fish 3 days ago and he hasn't eaten. Today when I went to feed my fish I noticed it has ich. I don't know what to do since I don't have a QT tank to put it in.

I get pre mixed water from my lfs and the salinity is a bit high (.6). How can I lower it. Also I have a 37 gallon tank with 5 fish, cleaner shrimp, crabs, snails, and two hard corals.

It's looks like the one part of the coral is falling off and i don't know why. Can anyone help?

Is this a worm or something?

Can someone tell me what kind of coral these are. Got all three in an assorted kit on saltwaterfish.com and want to make sure I put them in the best spot.

As you can see in the picture there is a bit of food and what looks like some poop. Is it not working properly?

Hi All, I have a 37 gallon tank that is almost done cycling so it's time to start thinking about fish. I 100 percent want two clown fish and the rest is up in air. I want a center piece fish so i was thinking a dwarf angel. A pistol shrimp and yellow watchman would be a cool combo. Can someone...

Do Red leg hermits and nassarius snails need to be fed in a new tank. It's a 37 gallon and the first fish probably won't go in for another week so they won't be able to eat poop or anything. I have flakes, shrimp pellets, and algae wafers from my freshwater tank so i'm not sure if they would...

Is this normal for a new pump? I just installed it a few days ago and added water in the tank. This stuff came from the sand or the water from the LFS. Not sure which one but when I poured water in it started floating around. Should the stuff be getting sucked in like that. Right now I have a...

What do I do if i'm at school when there is a power outage because how long would my 37 gallon be okay for? If I get a power backup and hook it up to a gfci outlet, wouldn't i need to reset the gfci for the backup to run? Or would the battery from the backup work fine? Any reccomandation on a...

Hey guys, I just got my tank (37 gallons) and a stand from petsmart last night. They are both made from Top Fin. The stand seems very flimsy and doesn't seem like it would support a 37 gallon filled with water, sand, and live rock. It does say it's for 29-37 gallons though. I saw another one...

Hey guys I just wanted to introduce my self. I'm Frank. I'm a high school student who decided he wanted to make the switch to the more expensive but more rewarding salt water side of aquatics. I will probably be posting a lot of questions so this will not be the last time you see my name pop up...

Hey guys. I'm about to start my first saltwater tank (i have done plenty of freshwater but i want to expand). It's a 30 gallon tank that would probably have 4-5 fish in it. I was planning on doing a cartridge filter and a protein skimmer. I heard since i'm not doing a sump, i should have more...
