Hi everyone, I purchased a yellow kole eye tang the other day and have him in qt with a juvi tomato clown. They get along very well, no friction at all. I have noticed however that the mouth of the tang looks all messed up and the tang's mouth is always open. I think the tang has eaten some...

Hi everyone, We are having an outbreak of iCh in our 180g fowlr. I don't have enough space in our QT for everyone, but was thinking that if I took my inverts from my tank and put the in qt, could I leave the 100+ lbs of rock and 120+ lbs of sand in the DT and do hypo??? Do I need to remove the...

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone had an experience with the proflex sumps? I am thinking of upgrading my,filtration from a standard wet/dry to this on and running it with the centre fuge. I have a 54g corner reef. I liked the look of the proflex and didn't want to get into DIY because...

Hi everyone, I have had my 54g tank running for about 3 years, and about 4 months ago turned it into a reef. I am now seeing all this brown junk on the sand. At one point I had an issue with Cyano (red) and used chemi clean to get rid of it (about 2 months ago). So I have this brown junk on...

Hi everyone, I just took my nitrate reading and it's showing bright red with the API test kit. I remember reading something that you need to divide this number by something to get your true reading. Can someone help me out. I am running 54g reef set up over 3 years and have never had this...

Am placing an order at the drs today and was going to order the red sea algae test kit for phosphate and trates ( currently using API). I am also using a hydrometer for,salinity. If I were going to order one item, should it be the refractometer or the new test kit?? I don't have $$ for both and...

Omg! I had to share this. I was spot feeding my rock carpet nem some mysis shrimp with a turkey baster a few minutes ago and my rather larger but sweet porkie puffer was lurking around. Thing nothing of it, I go about feeding...next thing I know the bugger latched onto the pad of my pinke...

Hi everyone, I picked up some pretty zoa frags today and some were mounted to glass tiles (like you find in a bathroom). The Zoas are doing well, and have even opened up within an hour in my tank. My question is, can I take the zoa frag off the glass? The tile is really big and I want it to...

Hi everyone, I am trying to get some advice of the proper amount of time to have my lights going. My current set up is a 54g corner tank with 1 Radion LED fixture, currently sitting 1.5 inches above thank elevated on the glass cover (haven't decided on how I am mounting the light yet, from...

I have had my 54g corner tank set up for the better part of 3 years. We recently upgraded to a 180g DT for our main living area, and the 54g is still running in the br. I want to turn it into a reef, and want to know which single led light fixture would be large enough to accommodate my needs. I...

Hi everyone, I was hoping to get some answers to this. We have a 180g reef tank and are having issues keeping the ph up. The ph fluctuates between 7.8 - 8.2. My husband is trying to keep it higher at 8.4. However, when I test the alk, it's running in the "high" range of the red sea kit. We just...

I have a question. We just upgraded our 54g corn tank to a 180g tank. Our "old" tank has a rather docile, but large 6" or so porkie puffer. I want to drip him into my new tank tonight, which by itself is fine. I wanted to also get this week, a carpet neme. Does anyone think the puffer would pick...
