I just added a coral banded shrimp to one of my tanks yesterday and in less than 24 hours it molted. Normally I wouldn't be concerned because I know it's something that happens but the timing has me worried. Is it just coincidence or should I be concerned? If it's the latter what should I look...

Hi everyone, I started a new project and was wondering what was recommended for the biocube 29 as far as a skimmer goes.... Looks like a few options but what do you people use? Sent from my HTCONE using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I was always under the impression that mixing longer is better. I have always let my salt mix overnight to ensure its mixed properly. Then I found this in a new bucket of red sea. Just incase the attachment didn't go through it states that water should be mixed vigorously without aeration...

I have a 56 gallon reef and I store my fresh water in 5 gallon buckets. I would like to keep that all the same (I have no room for anything else). I've looked around but I'm not really sure what would be best (there is a huge price difference in some of these). Any suggestions would be greatly...

I've been having a slight problem lately keeping these 3 in check. They seem to vary every week. Mag will be good for weeks the suddenly I noticed a dip. Calc is pretty constant but on occasion it dips more than I expect also. Then there is all, this seems to drop the most thru the week but...

Is it easy? What tools are required? Any tips?

So I bought an orange cap a little while back (thinking it was a chalice of some sort). And I have a lighting question. My tank is pretty deep being a 56 gallon collum. My live rock comes up about 2/3 they way to the top. I run ecoxotic panorama pro's (1 rgb, 2 blue magenta, 2 white 1000k...

I bought this a while ago but the guy couldn't remember what it was called. Any ideas?

I've been running a sump for about 8 months with only a couple .of hickups early on. I've notices recently that I'm getting very poor flow from my overflow box (hob) to my sump. I have to keep throttling back my return pump, more and more. Is it comon to have to clean your hoses or replace...

I have an unhappy goniopora. It has been like this for roughly a day and a half and I'm not sure why. Params Temp 76 Amo, trates, trites-0 Ph- 8.2 Calcium-460 Mg-1400 Kh-11.8 These params are basically always the same, never any big swings. I'm a little miffed on why its receded like this...

I have a rock in a higher light area and I want to move my goniopora there. Is it as easy as pulling them off the rock or will that damage them? I want to relocate the ones at the top.

This spot apears to be new today, any ideas? This is the best photo I could get... The spot is right in front of the last white band. It's a dark almost black spot. Came out of nowhere, nothing new added to tank for a couple of weeks.

Bought at lfr a few days ago. I'm assuming its some type of polyp.

I've recently purchased a small Duncan from my lfr (last week to be exact). The Duncan is comming out less and less from its "stalk" in recent days. I don't think any of the fish are pecking at it and my water params are good except my kh is a bit high, could that be the problem? The location...

I want to get into corals more (i have some mushroom, pulsing xenia sic, and some favia? They all came on lr) but know very little at the moment. Does anyone have a recommendation on a book or a good website I can check? Thanks

Plaintiff - new diamond goby Defendant - purple psuedo Any suggestions? I got the goby last night and the psuedo won't leave it alone.. its pretty viscous too. I'm going to try to capture the psuedo and rearrange the lr tonight if the goby makes it that long. Anyone have another suggestion?

I've noticed that lately my ph keeps dropping from 8.2-8.3 to 7.9-8.0... It takes a few days 3-4 but I don't want to keep adding buffer to keep it regulated. Is it due to surface agitation? If so do I need more or less? I can do either but am not sure which. Thanks

I've had a snowflake eel for a few weeks now and everything seemed great until yesterday. It's MIA and I'm starting to worry. The is a chance it has a new hiding spot but it hasn't come out at all, which is a little strange. It's really small and can actually fit into some really small...

Just started doing it that last couple hours... Hungry maybe? I fed them earlier. Haven't seen that behavior before except when they are feeding.

Little guy dead center. Hard to see but I have maybe 2-3 throughout the tank. Also I think this one is no bueno, but not positive. Finally... Some sort of cool worm, good? Bad? Thanks a ton!

I got some new live rocks the other day and they have some neat inverts. Not sure what they are and think they are comon but any help would be awesome.

I'm cycling my new tank and things seem to be going ok I think. I have a 56g collum. I put together a 10g (all I had for space) sump with filter sock, 1 liter of matrix, and pump, overflow and etc.. for substrate I'm using 80# of live sand and 20# of live rock. I've been cycling for about a...

So I'm new at the marine tank thing and I've build a sump and yada yada yada. Well I've had everything hooded up for a week now and its all seems to be running well but I get a lot of noise from my overflow. It's just general water noise but its much louder than I had thought. I've put...

Does anyone know of a good online place to get cured live rock?.... Hopefully cheap?
