Hi all, I'm planning a tank move about 45 minutes away and would appreciate some advice on the below issues. As I'm moving out of state to a much smaller apartment, I won't have the space or time at this moment to care for a reef tank, so I'm going to set it up in my brother-in-law's dentist...

Is this a bristleworm? The beneficial or harmful type? There are quite a few of them and they only come out from inside the rocks during feedings. Any help with identification is greatly appreciated! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Can someone please help me to identify this creature? It only comes out at night, always in the same spot, and sometimes when I shine a light at it it retracts into the rock. It looks like aptasia but I didn't know they could retract like that.

I'm looking to add 20 lbs of live Fiji pink aragonite sand to my 1 year old reef tank. The tank currently has about 20 lbs of the same type of sand, but the amount of sand has been decreasing due to it being siphoned out during pwcs. Does anyone see any issues with adding the sand all at...

I've been experiencing some issues with my alkalinity being consistently low. I have a 60 gallon mixed reef, with about 10-15 different types of softies and mushrooms, about 4 acans, 1 large hammer, 1 open brain, and only 2 SPS (red cap and stylophora). I don't think my system demands high...

Just got this beauty yesterday from the LFS. Heard gonioporas can be difficult to keep alive long-term, but my wife and I just couldn't resist! Anybody have any tips on how to keep them with success? I have maxspect LEDs, skim medium heaviness and feed daily either pellets, mysis, and...

I recently ordered a midas blenny, trachy and stylophora from LiveAquaria, but the package delivered a day earlier than they promised. As a result I can't get to the livestock until very late tonight as I work about 1.5 hours from home, at which point the contents will have been in the shipping...

I know this topic has been discussed countless times, but I couldn't find an answer on my specific situation: can I keep clams under 4x24W T5s, and if so, which ones? I have a 60g cube that is 24'' deep, and would like to keep the clam on the sand bed if possible. I'm using all ATI bulbs...

I have a 60g cube (24x24x24) with one hydor 1050 PH, but looking to up the flow as I am dealing with some cyano problems, particularly along the sand bed (but not too much that it stirs up a sandstorm). Probably won't upgrade tanks anytime in the near future (at least 5 years). Which option...

There are small white semi-transparent branches growing on my live rock in various places. They don't move or anything but sometimes food will get trapped when it floats by. My tank is about 3 months old. Water parameters are fine but I also have some cyano on the sand bed. Two pics are...

I have a 60 gallon cube with a roughly 600gph return pump and an overflow box in the corner of the tank. I recently bought a 1050-1150 gph Hydor Koralia and have placed it on the overflow wall with the flow pointed diagonally at the opposite corner of the tank. The PH is positioned about 1/3...

Hi all, currently I have my return flow coming out of a single 3/4'' loc-line hose (see attached for picture prior to adding LR or fish), but I feel like the current is too strong for my two baby oscellaris clownfish. I am thinking about splitting the hose with a Y fitting and using two flare...

Hi, I recently finished cycling my 60-gallon, and bought 2 oscellaris clownfish and about 2 dozen tiny blue leg hermits and astrea snails about a week ago. What are some good beginner corals, and when should I be adding them to the tank? I have T5 lighting and am in the process of switching...

Hey there, Glad to join what seems to be a vibrant community here. I live in New Brunswick, NJ, but work at a large law firm in New York (meaning I don't have a lot of spare time, and recently whatever spare time I have has been spent researching and setting up my new tank). I am a beginner...
