I just bought a cutting board and chopping knife to dedicate to the purpose of cutting up shrimp into small pieces for fish food. I want to clean these items after every use without using something harmful that may make its way back into the tank (possibly through cross-contamination) like...

In your opinions what’s the coolest looking Frag Rack you’ve seen? Please include a picture.

Hi, My Strawberry Basslet recently started showing some white spots. Does this look like ick? If not, what do you think it could be? If so, what’s the best thing to treat ick & how long do I have?

My Florida Ricordea looks like it’s splitting in two. Is this a good sign? Thanks for any help... ?

I just got a Vortech MP10. I’ve tried playing with the settings but can’t get it set how I want. I’m trying to set it to make waves in my tank like in the attached video https://youtu.be/1vkGaGgUmnU

It’s 50” tall by 50” wide. I like this setup because as you can see I can fit all my filtration (Fluval FX6 & IceCap 15 Reef Sump tank with a Reef Octopus Classic 110-INT protein skimmer) underneath the tank. Before the table it was on had drawers underneath so I had to have the sump tank on the...

Hi, I have 2 powerheads now that I am using as my wave makers but they have gotten a little loud over time. I have a roommate who doesn’t mind the tank (Thank God) but has complained about how loud the powerheads are when they kick on. I am looking for suggestions of powerful wave maker...

Hi, I’ve got aiptasia springing up in my tank. I’ve heard that peppermint shrimp can help control aiptasia. I’ve also heard someone else say peppermint shrimp are useless against aiptasia. Does anyone know about this? Thanks

Let’s see everyone’s beautiful anemones. Here’s mine

I noticed something new. I have a Gorgonian and I recently noticed something new at the base of the Gorgonian. To me it looks like a baby anemone. I do have a Haitian Reef Anemone so I was thinking maybe the anemone split or something. I am including a before and after of the Gorgonian & a pic...

My current 55 gallon setup

I did a little aquascaping for my tank with live rock and aquascaping putty. You can see the aquascaping putty in the attached pic. Does anyone have any ideas of how to make those white areas of putty look more like the surrounding rock?

So I have a detailed question. We all know that doing a water change will change the water parameters, that’s why we do water changes, to get rid of bad stuff like waste, ammonia, nitrates. So if I want to test water parameters on the same day that I’m doing a water change should I test the...

Hi, I’m always hearing that clownfish are omnivores & I’ve heard a lot of people saying they feed them seaweed. So I’d like to take a survey. What do you feed your Clownfish: A. Brine Shrimp only B. Seaweed only C. A combo of both together D. Something else entirely(please elaborate) Thank...

Hi, I’m thinking of getting into the coral fragging for fun/hobby at first and potentially profit/trade later on down the road. I was just wanting to watch the parameters of my tank more closely, with finer detail. Currently I measure Salinity(with a refractometer), PH, Temp, Ammonia, Nitrite...

Hi, I just got a new RO/DI filter. I understand that it catches most things like Chlorine, so my question is... is it a good idea to still put the same Marine Conditioner (that I normally use to take out Chlorine & other things) in the water after it has been filtered by the RO/DI filter just...

Hi, I currently have a power head that puts out 265 GPH & I just bought another one that puts out 240 GPH. If I place them relatively close to each other in the tank facing the same way, will the GPH equal (the two combined) 505 if they are running in sync at the same time?

The local pet store gave me this tree looking frag for buying so much stuff & I forgot to ask what it was. May I get the exact name please...

I’ve always liked Mandarin Gobies and I’d like to get a Watchman Goby. Will Mandarin Gobies get along with Watchman Gobies?

Can anyone please ID this new Green coral Frag I got?

I bought 1 small Gold Lightning Maroon Clownfish from my local pet shop. It was together in a small tank with a 2nd Gold Lightning Maroon Clownfish so I think they may have been a pair because they seemed comfortable around each other to be sharing such a small tank. I want to go buy that 2nd...
