    Is my bubble tip anemone look on?

    Does my bubble tip anemone look ok? Had this for 3 weeks. Was nice and bubbly for a few days. Then my clown discovered it. Since then it’s been a bit stringy. Color is still the same and parameters fine. Here are pics. Maybe the clown is agitating this all day causing this? Sorry I just do not...

    Tiny White tubes and brush like things

    I had to really zoom in - seems like they grow in dark crevices. Are they ok? Anything that eats them? Some tubes and some with hairy ends like tiny trees.

    New Wrasse

    I just got two new fish added to my 75g on Friday. A wrasse (I believe they call it a rainbow wrasse) and a powder blue tang. Both drip acclimated as I do all my fish. Both were doing just fine in store. Very active. Saturday i fed the fish and the rainbow wrasse that was hiding came out to eat...

    Snail eggs?

    I’ve seen these white lines in my tank for years and finally ID’ed a culprit. Are these snail eggs??? I’ve actually seen a couple baby snails born and grow in my tank in the last couple months. First time in the 10 years I’ve witnessed baby snails, but these lines have been seen for a while.

I have seen them online with emperor angels, queen, blueline, majestic all in the same tank.. but obviously have read this is a huge NO NO. I guess unless the...

    Starting up an established tank - new addition suggestions 75g

    So Ive left my tank pretty empty for the last month or so and ready to add new fish. Its 8 years old. I just have one damsel remaining after something killed all my tank inhabitants.

    Need for a UV Sterilizer? discussion

    What do you guys think about having one? I notice my water is not as crystal clear - has a slight tinge of yellow to it when looking from the side since I got rid of it many years ago despite keeping good water parameters. Only thing I notice is that my fish arent staying alive as long as they...

    Dispar Anthias acting strange

    Pic attached. Have 3 dispar Anthias. Known to be schooling fish... but mine have been anything but. I have one that swims all over the tank and the other two sit motionless in each opposite corner of the tank wide in the open. They all eat fine and swim together while feeding. So strange. Had...

    Got a Juvenile Koran Angel added to my tank about 10 days ago. Was eating well at first but towards the end of last week I noticed it was absent - hiding in rocks.

    Water level in sump - evaporation

    Would it be better to keep less or more water in a sump or is there no effect in regards to evaporation? Would like to figure out a way to limit the rate of evaporation. I usually have to top off 1g of distilled water in my 75g with every 3-4 days. Would like to do less of those. And of course I...

    New Flasher Wrasse in my tank

    Just got a flasher wrasse for the first time. Looked pretty in the store and heathy, active amongst other fish - not hiding in the rocks (not many rocks in the display tanks but enough for many fish to hide when they try to fish them out). The new Wrasse just hid immediately in my rocks upon...

    Hard White stringy things

    White stringy things very crusty and they don't move - sandwiched between 2 live rock in the general vicinity of the middle of my tank and other random spots. I just scratch them off during tank cleaning. Pics here. Some have a feather duster thing on top like a dandelion almost. What are they?

    CaribSea BioMagnet Clarifier 16 oz - Marine Depot I get a sample of this every time i get a new bag of sand for occasional additions. This stuff works great to have my water looking super clear. I currently use a small dose of prime after each water change. I use real ocean water from Petco...

    My new wavemaker and wavemaker General Q's

    Just got the Jebao RW-15 on my 75g and it's great. I have it on the lowest speed 1/8 on pulsating mode. It has a night mode - trying to figure out how that works and a feeding mode which is great. I can run it up as high as a 4/8 but it scares the hell out of my fish - they are still getting...

    White stringy things Btwn live rock

    There's this white stringy stuff between 2 live rocks and also between the Rock and back glass. You can barely see it. The pics aren't great either. They seem rather crusty, and easy to scratch off but impossible to reach. What are they? Are they safe? What are they and should I bother getting...

    Process for adding live sand to an established tank

    Id like to add about 10 of live sand pounds which I do every few months as some get removed during my PWCs. Last time i did that I added all 10 at once, and had a tank crash a week later, and immediate diatom problems which still exist for 4 months now. I have added 10 pounds all at once before...

    Jebao RW-8 or RW-15 on 75g

    Which should I get? I've seen a few videos but can't decide. I just want one I obv don't want too much flow. Just have a FOWLR and its 48x24x18 -75g total. Should I take out my Rio 1700? That's all I have in my tank for circulation plus my return pump. Figured out I need a hell of a lot more to...

    Wave makers

    After doing some research I've seen a lot about the Jebao WP-40. I have a 75g FOWLR. Is this going to be too strong? I saw there is a WP-25 as well that may be sufficient. I already have A return flow and power head at the top but flow towards the bottom and rest of the tank is no good. I don't...
