So i just tested my levels thinking my phosphate or nitrate were out of sack, right now I'm getting spurts of algae on my sandbed (green cyano) and has been there for a while. Just got done with tests and phosphate and nitrate are both unreadable, I'm going to do a 10 gallon WC tomorrow and 10...

I've had my yellow tang for about a year and a half now and he has always been skinny, I can see through him and his organs always are further out than his body. Although I feed a lot, pellet, flake, mysis, sprulina brine, formula 2 and and some nori almost 3x a week. He does not have HLLE...

Im making the switch to try these new reactors. I'm still going to run GFO but my reactor with carbon will go. Heres my issue, this tank does not have a sump. So therefore I need a HOB reactor and not many are out there for a 75 gallon tank. I have narrowed it down to some but my main thoughts...

Well after a few months of debate I decided to add a Blue Throat Trigger, my LFS had him for about 2 weeks even tho when I got there he was hiding behind the powerhead. He seemed very healthy and when food was added to the tank, he went to town. He just seemed a little timid. So I brought him...

Recently within the last couple of weeks I have been battling with algae, green slime and red hair two very different types. I finally done with it and need to get to the bottem, i thought it was a bacteria bloom but i pretty sure its not anymore. I tested my RODI today and found out it was...

Was thinking of trying a specimen from hawaii, possibly a small one to add to my aquarium. Everything in my tank has been doing well for the past month lately and when i get off these **** crutches im gonna make a bold move, either im going for the Idol or a blue throat trigger. Im looking for...

3 weeks ago i had surgery on my right knee and havent payed alot of attention to my tank lately. Im going to be on crutches till november so my mom and dad have been helping with feeding etc... I havent done a water change for about a month and a half... Im gonna test my paramaters tomorrow...

I just added some ro to top off my tank and noticed my bta doing thid as soon as i got done? What is going on? The center plate seems puffed up

I have no clue whats going on, this has been happening for months now and im not sure what it is. My fish (yellow tang, hippo tang, flame angel, lemarks angel, Ocellaris clown, 2 Chromis) mostly the tangs and clown love to nip my surface of my tank. I don't think its a aeration issue b/c they...

I need to figure out my water volume to dose my 2 part. Im using the BRS calculator and have to enter my total tank volume in gallons. I have a 75 gallon tank with 40lbs of bio active sand and 75 lbs of BRS reef saver rock. Plus i have a skimmer that is about 2.5 gal and a reactor that holds...

I have no ideas, it almost looks like a tentecle from a anemone but just one tentecle, i cant tell what the eff this is, never seen anything like it. I cant tell if its moving or its just the tank moving it slightly....so confuzed

Im not 100% sure that he has hlle. Im just wondering. He is in a 75 gallon tank with 1 yellow tang, one flame angel, a firefish, 2 clowns, a lemarks angel, and 5 chromis. I feed new life spectrum marine formula about twice daily. I put in a 3x3 sheet of green omega one nori once a week and i...

I just purchased 5 chromis from the lfs, one seems to stay alone and swim near the surface, he also seems to have a bigger eye, is he going to be ok? What do you think? Also he and one other have darker scales....is this a male, i dont want to put a sick fish in my tank

I've decided that im too much attached to my Flame angel that im going have to deal with no acans. I have hammers, frogspawn, torches, and a elegance coral. I know that he eats acans. What do you think he will pick at? He has never touched any SPS but a couple that were already perishing...

Hey so i picked up this amazing looking Australian elegance the other day and as i look at it now it deems very healthy except for one part.....the coral looks like a S shaped body and at the end of one the skeleton is starting to show, it also seems like its not opening at that end, i think it...

Heres my problem. First off let me tell u my tank. 1 yellow tang, 1 hippo tang, 1 lemarks angel, 1 flame angel, 2 clowns ocellaris, 1 firefish, in a 75 gallon tank. I have mixed reef with about 8 different types of zoas, a couple softy's like a tyree toadstool, kenya tree, ricordias...

Hey so i just added my lamarks angel about 30 min ago and so far has been not well. I have a flame angel, yellow tang, blue hippo, 2, clown , and a firefish. The Lamarcks and the flame are roughly the same size and though they should be fine. Also ive heard great sucess of Lamarcks and dwarf...

Hey i just hooked this thing up in my room and seems to be running great, my only thing i dont like is the noise. The pump isnt that loud more like a hum but when the air hits the pump it makes a weird sound, im not talking about the air intake but the mixture of air and water. It also makes...

Im going to add a reef octopus very soon as I got it in the mail today.....the bio pellets will make the nitrate and phospate lower and hover around very low levels b/c its a recirculating skimmer. I plan on droping my WC from once a week/every other week...to once every 1 1/5 to 2 months....my...

Well Saturday i went to a swap and picked up 7 corals and a clam, everything is doing fantastic but one coral. The acan i got, i dont know the name but it is orange with a pink center. Since i put it into the tank it has never looked the way it was at the booth. It never really fully opened...

I found this guy in one of the containers that i got from a swap today, I'm pretty sure he's a starfish most likely a serpent star.....he's red and white/ possibly yellow.......im keeping him in a container as of right now......should i toss him in or ditch him???
