So I have had my FOWLR tank for almost 2 years. The first fish I stocked it with aside from green chromis was a pair of Osc. clown fish. every month or so I would add another fish which some included (pajama cardinal, royal gramma, yellow wrasse, coral beauty, yellow head sand sifter...

I have a halloween crab that killed my Blue Tuxedo Urchin. I got the Blue Tuxedo about a month ago and he always cruised the tank with no woories. Last night I found the Halloween crab over it but when I noticed it, all the spikes/hair from the urchin were removed, in other words, it looked...

It is about 1 1/2 inches

I quarantine all my new fish for a week or 2 before placing in my main tank. My quarantine is 10 gallons and I have read that it is not good to quarantine a blue hippo tang (Dory) due to the stress of it having to get resettled when put in the main tank. It eats good in quarantine but does...

I have 2 Clowns, 2 green chromis, 1 valencia goby, 1 yellow wrasse and 3 PJ cardinals that all I feed is Mysis and Brine shrimp. Is there some type of extra nutrients I can sub every few days or week to help them out or is this all they need? Thanks

The day before I did not see it eat and I have noticed the last month that its yellowhead was not so bright anymore. I'm hoping it just died due to natural causes and didnt get killed.

I had my yellowhead goby for 6 months with no problem till I found it 90% eaten yesterday and found wrapped around my insert. I did purchase a Halloween crab last week and think it might of caught it sleeping at night and ate it. Is this possible? Anyone had this happen before? Should I get...

How long should a fish be housed in the QT tank before moved over to the main tank. For Example, some fish require a stable tank with algae and LR which it can graze on throughout the day. If all the QT tank has is a pot for hiding and nothing else will the fish eventually get stressed and die...

No the LR's holes are way too small and I lifted and looked around and under for it. He was about 2 inches long and I have 5 small HC's 1 turbo, 1 Astrea, 3 bumblebees, 1 chocolate chip star and a cleaner shrimp. He didn't have any signs of stress or anything. He swam around happy and ate...

I have a missing bicolor angel fish that went missing over night. There is no way he was sucked in the filters and not on the floor so he didn't jump out. I lifted up my insert and only LR to make sure he was not wedged under but did not see anything. Could my 5 HC's have eaten it over night...

Yes, I just tested over the weekend and all readings are tits excepet for a slight Nitrate spike that has been creeping up the past few weeks and is up to 10. This was not the first small spike so I don't think this caused it this time

I have had 2 snails just die and be gone this last week, The shells are still there but they are not. Do they leave the shell and look for another and get attacked and eaten in the process? 1 is an Astrea and the other is a Turbo. I found the astrea upside down one day at the bottom of the...

I dont think I do, its a corner tank and I have 2 750 Koralias at the top sort of facing each other just a bit angled away from each other and I see movement all around the tank, I can maybe try different angles, didn't think about that, Thanks

Thanks for the advice I'll try different things here or look for something unusual.

My tank is a FOWLR and it has been running for about 6 months now. After my cycle and numbers were at 0 everything was good till about 3 months ago I had a slight spike that went up to 15 or so and I found out I was overfeeding them causing this. After weekly water changes and twice a day...

Are blue tuxedo urchin ok to have with artificial coral as they have sharp teeth and could chew through it

I have a 55g corner FOWLR but only have 15lbs of LR. It is sitting behind my Insert I got from Instant Reef. The tank has been setup since January and I have not had any issues with any levels. Now my question is, if I decide to add another 10-15lbs of cured LR what would be the plus on this...

I started my 55 gal FOWLR back in January with an Octo surface skimmer, Fluval 306 canister, 2 Koralia 750 power heads, LED lights and Heater.

Do I really need that many for my size tank? I already have some snails and crabs for cleanup.

Should I just get 1 scarlet cleaner for my 54g FO tank or do I get a small pair? I currently have a goby, clown and 2 damsels. Will possibly get a small flame or regal tang in the next few months. They say they do better and are less shy when in pairs. Just looking for your guys opinions, Thanks

I just put my astrea snails on the rock and it looks like they are cleaning it up, hopefully they get it all!

I have attached a pic of the rock. It looks like heavy dust on it not sure if you could tell much since the rock is behind my insert the pic was a bit hard to get. hope it works since I have never attached a pic

My tank has particles floating all over the tank and the 10lbs of LR in it has a brown coating on it that looks furry/hair like. All readings are 0 and my salinity is 1.024. This started happening after cycling and my tank has been up for about 6-7 weeks. Could this be a phosphate problem? I...

I have a 54g corner tank w/ 2 power heads facing each other at the very top, a canister filter and surface skimmer. I have 2 chromis and a gold head sleeper for now and it looks as if the sand will not settle. It had settled during cycle but after cycle I turned on the skimmer and it pushed sand...

I use a refractometer
