Correction: I've seen him twice lol but still

Hey can someone help me identify this starfish? I've had my tank for months and I've literally just saw him now lol. If he's dangerous please let me know because I might not see him for a couple more months.

I started my tank a little over two months ago and started to get noticeable Coraline growth about a week ago. I think a part of my early growth could have been the fact almost all my live rock had Coraline on it to start. My algae went thru a green phase before I started seeing some light...

Thanks for the quick responses, if he was dead I imagine the smell would be awful. Thankfully he's fine, if he had been dead your quick answers would have saved me and I really appreciate that.

All good, guess I never saw him poop b4

Really haven't been getting any responses on here lately but figured if post anyway. My snail looks dead now. I'm going to post a pic and hopefully someone can respond soon but I think I need to take him out. Check out the pic and let me know if it's dead or taking a poop haha. He was fine...

So I have a mix of hermits and snails and am aware eventually the hermits will most likely start attacking the snails. My turbo snails was on the glass and I noticed a little dent in his foot. Is this normal or do you think he was attacked by a hermit. Check out the picture below and let me know...

Is there any other settings on the hydor smart wave besides both being on or alternating? Anything that makes it go from 1-2 powerheads on?

Might have to zoom but they're located upper left and right. (The right is point more along the front glass and the left one goes across the tank)

I posted this thread awhile ago but was recently playing around with my hydor 850 powerheads. I had them alternating every 3 hours so only one was on at a time. The past day I put them both on. What do you guys think about have two 850's going in a 54 corner? Is that a good amount of flow...

Ya I actually got them awhile ago, as long as they can support softies and lps I'm happy with them for now. I definitely want to get a pendulum light as an upgrade in the future, it would be great for above a corner tank. Thanks for the help!!!!

Ya I wasn't trying to break the bank with these lights so I didn't go crazy. They look good but I just wasn't sure if they were strong enough. Even though they might not have the best appearance, do you think they will easily support corals?

So I got solar flare dx lights to start my tank. There are 24 3w LEDs (18 white 6 blue) I can't find much review on them and am not sure if they have enough power for my 54 corner tank. I'm not positive but I think they put out around 74 watts. If anyone has any information on these lights or...

If I were you I would wait as patiently as I could and continue to test your water until you are confident parameters are in check and stable.

Have you seen any other indications of cycle process like diatoms or any algae?

Ya I regret getting both. I tried throwing a lot of empty shells for the hermits but it's probably inevitable they go for some snail shells. Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

Alright thanks for the help, I'll stay patient and keep up with maintenance, hopefully start to see some progress soon

I'm still at war with this aloe and desperately trying to get my skimmer running. Does anyone think this is a pointless battle and I'll never get enough aloe out to let my skimmer run smoothly? Would I be better off just starting my system over? (This is such a hard decision being that my tank...

I recently got a rodi system and was wondering the same thing. I was assuming I could base when I needed to change a part based on the tds on the output?? Correct me if I'm wrong but could that be a useful way of knowing when to change something?

As you can see a lot of ppl would suggest not to move it and for good reason, make sure your anemone is in good condition b4 worrying about getting the clownfish to host it. These guys said it best though just be patient. The comment I made was in reference to a video I saw and if you want to...

This is where I saw how to do it. As you can see a lot of ppl would suggest not to move it and for good reason, make sure your anemone is in good condition b4 worrying about getting the clownfish to host it. These guys said it best though just be patient.

It's not ideal to move your anemone around but I've seen safer ways to do it. Obviously not trying to tell you to rip the anemone off while it's still attached.

So my tank is now a little over 50 days old. The clowns, blenny, and shrimps are all doing good. My clowns are still figuring out dominance but seems to be moving along and they get closer everyday. I purchased a brs 4 stage rodi maker and couldn't be happier with it. Since switching to rodi...

Try moving the anemone to a place the clowns swim or rest regularly if placement permits. Bring the anemone too them.

I hear a lot of mixed opinions. I don't think in anyway shape of form it will negatively affect your tank and can only help. I'm pretty happy with my turbo twist and it has only benefited me. When it comes down to it you could totally get by without it but it's extra insurance and helpful to the...
