Hello reader! Over the past few months my flower pot corals health has dominished day by day, I’ve tried different lighting sports in medium and high intensity. I have a basic test kit to test phosphate, nitrate, nitrite, ph. Etc. I do not have a calcium or alk tester but I do add calcium...

Here’s another photo of just how bad it is

Hello, this past week I was away from my fluval sea clownfish pair tank and came back to see a ton of white grows( see photo) all threw out evrystage of my filtration system. They look like anthropoids but they aren’t they aren’t alive like anthropoids are. My tank is about 8 months old...

Hello. I started up a 150g fowlr tank about 8 moths ago. But I’ve always had a problem with nitrates. The tap water I use is 30ppm in nitrate. So I know the nitrates will never be lower than that, what is an acceptable range for my nitrates to get to before I have to do something about it. I’ve...

Recently I had added 2 peppermint shrimp to my 8 month old fluval flex 13.5 gal. For about 2 weeks they kept walking in my corals and my corals would never open up. Yesturday I did a watwr change and added a bubble tip anemone to the tank at fist it attached to the rock and ingulfed itself. I...

Cycling with shrimp Ok so I’m treating my fish in a hospital tank with copper, what do the nitrates need to be at (ppm) before I can add the cleaner shrimp to finish the cycle, also I’ve tried to keep chaeto in my refugium and it keeps turning to mush. I run the light 24/7. Also take a look...

Tank info— The tank is about a year old, 150 gallon still in the green alage stage of the cycle. Nitrates are threw the roof, maxed out at 140 ppm but have done a water change. I know I need the peramiters to be right. The salmon tang I have is similar in size to the powder brown but is always...

I belive it is velvet

Hello fish fans, 2 weeks ago I noticed spots on my tang, I treated my 150 gallon with kick ick, but it didn’t fully go away. I stopped treating for 2 days and now he has horrible fin rot on the rear and top fins. Is it ick? What medication can I use that’s reef safe, and is it too late for...

So today I bought a Zoa frag and quickly after I placed it in my tank I noticed some bug crawling on it. Right away I took it out and investigated the coral and a fatal of 7 little buggers came off of the frag! Are they coco pods or parisites and if they are coco pods can I add them to my 3...

To me it seems like both because there was originally a little part taken out of her back fin but I think that was from a bite, but on her front bottom fin it seems like it’s thinning from what I thought was stress or sickness

What about the clown fishes fin rot and twitching? Is that normal? when she’s being bullied to establish genders

ALSO VERRY IMPORTANT!!! The smaller clownfish also twitches every so often, he must be sick, but how do I treat it? And what sickness is it?

In the past week I have started a new snowflake clown pair in a fluval evo 13.5G. I had bought the clown as a pair online, but one of the clowns every so often chases and goes after the slightly smaller clown. At first i thought it was just for dominance to be the female, but the smaller...

Brissletooth tang SOS. Overnight I saw a small brown spot on my squaretail kole tang. But within a spand of 2 hours it had gotten much worse. Please help!! And tell me how to treat it.

HERE, overnight he developed this brown spot

He’s always been that color. That’s his breed type. He’s not a normal yellow eye kole tang. It just seems like he’s almost a little bruised up.

Looking closely at the image you can see tiny little brown spots on my tang. He’s acting healthy, but those little brown spots are a little concerning to me cause he acts fine but dosnt seem 100% healthy. Could it possibly be ick?

He’s a picture of my 37 gal

I added only the api em to the 37 gallon tank. I’m on my second dosage currently, but the large clown that I have in my 37 gallon has fin rot and overnight there’s another fin that got a chunk taken out of it. I’m new to the hobby so I don’t know exactly what I’m doing yet but there’s...

Different system. The clowns died the next day, I added ick medicine as well as api em erytromycin I didn’t know what exactly they had but I probably shouldn’t of mixed the meds. The tank we’re talking about is 37 gallon with a niger trigger, a blonde kole tang the puffer, clownfish that has a...

I traded in my other puffer, he also had a fungus infection, i have a 37 gallon tank but upgrading next week to a 125. Peramiters are ok besides phosphate at 2 ppm. I only added the puffer 2 or 3 days ago.

I have the mater test kit and I also test for phosphate but don’t really know how to keep my phosphate and nitrate low besides water changes.

Hello everyone, I was just curious about what chemicals you need to add to your tap water for your tank, currently when I add fresh water I add my salt, ph adjuster, prime, and water conditioner. Is that all I need or do I need other chemicals, like minor and trace elements. I have a 37 gallon...
