I recently purchased a new aquarium with original intentions of transferring everything over "live". Unfortunately, life has gotten in the way. Basically I'm in the middle of moving. I have to shut down my old tank, but won't have the new one up and running for at least a few weeks. So...

I have a 75 gallon fowlr which has been up and running for over a year. I've had problems with diatom algae for a long time. There was a couple months where my daylight lamp broke and I was only using blue/red lighting. During that period there was no algae. A couple weeks ago I got a new...

Posted in the ID forum with no luck. Came home to find this guy on my glass. No idea what it was but definitely didnt think it was alive. Then i noticed it was crawling with this very cool glow along its body. Sort of like a jellyfish. . So what the heck is it?

Im dealing with what I think is diatom algae. It's brown and covers the rocks and sometimes the sand. It brushes off very easily. What's weird is that every morning it's gone. With the lights off all night it goes away but within a couple hours of turning the lights on it comes back. I'm...

I have a 75 gallon FOWLR tank that's been up for maybe 10 weeks. In the last couple weeks my rocks started turning brown. I've tried scrubbing it off and it doesn't work. My tank isn't cycling. I use RO/DI water and have been doing 20% water changed on a weekly basis. I've cut back on how...

I purchased a pair of ocellaris clownfish 2 months ago for my 75 gallon fowlr tank. They are both juveniles and about the same size. One of them has bullied the hell out of the other for 2 months now. I know this is normal but I was hoping it would have stopped by now. The one being bullied...

I have a yellow head jawfish in my 75 gallon fowler. 95% of the time he's hiding away in his burrow or floating just outside the entrance being very timid. Retreating inside At any suden movements. Then every few weeks there's a day like today where he's swimming all around the tank and...

I have a 75 gallon fowlr tank with about 70 pounds of live rock. I have a wet/dry/trickle filter in my sump. In the filter the water passes through some filter floss, activated carbon, purigen, and bioballs. Im going to be adding a protein skimmer in the next week or two. From what I...

Just curious why half my hermit crabs have tons of coraline growing on their shells but it is growing so slowly on my rock work.

Got a pair of ocellaris clownfish about a week ago for my 75 gallon fowlr tank. As time has gone on one has become increasingly mean to the other. Constantly charging into him and chasing him around. I know this can be normal as a display of dominance but the other fish looked real stressed...

I added 30lbs of fiji live rock to start my cycle about 3 weeks ago. Im kinda discouraged because of haven't seen a single critter in my tank. When I was rinsing one of the rocks before adding it to the tank I saw some little worm type thing crawling around but that's been it. And it died...

I have an RO/DI unit from bulk reef supply that is rated at 75 gallons per day which is just over 3 gallons per hour. After some calculations I found its outputting about 5 gallons per hour. Is that bad? I have it hooked to my kitchen sink so should I just turn it down a bit do there is less...

I'm running a 75 gallon FOWLR tank with about 70 pounds of live rock. I have a sump setup with a DIY wet/dry filter. I followed the recommendations for filter media listed on the site where I got the the DIY filter plans. So currently I have Marineland filter pad Phosphate reducing pad...

So I became very interested in having a saltwater aquarium about 2 months ago. I've spent endless hours online and have read a couple books on the subject trying to wrap my head around what I have come to realize is quite an involved hobby. I also realized no matter how much I study and plan...
