Hi all I bought a 4-5" naso yesterday really fat and healthy looking. I have yet to see him show any interest in any food I throw at him. What he has shown an interest in are my snails he's not over aggressive but his is going around nipping at shells. Any ideas on what I should do to get...

Hi guys has anyone on here owned this skimmer? My pump is just ridiculously noisy. the skimmer and pump are clean as a whistle. If i have the pump separated from the body it's fine but as soon as I connect it the noise is there again also if I cover the "silencer" holes it's fine as well. Any...

I just received my first corals from buying online today. I did a 4 hour drip acclimation and now have all frags on the sandbed. Question is how long do these guys take to open up? Their all closed up pretty tight still.

Before I begin I have scoured the forums and read as many threads on this as possible. Back to the problem I have had an outbreak of ick taking my powder brown, yellow and hippo tangs. I need to setup an emergency qt tank to treat the rest of my fish. I have a 20g with hob filter and a heater...

Hi guys I recently replaced my coralife T5's with LEDS and now I'm pretty bad algae outbreak in my tank. Just on the walls though any advice on how to combat this?

I recently bought some zoa frags and put them in my DT they have been fine for 2 wks now I upgraded my lighting from t5 to LED and now they are starting to melt I had them high in the tank so I now moved them to the sandbed. Is there any hope of saving them? Or could it be something else?

[/URL][/IMG] Guys this is my first attempt at my own fuge/sump please critique as to whatever I haven't done right. The issue Im having is that I have to choke both my overflow and return way back so I have hardly any water movement. If I speed up the overflow it overflows my baffles...

Does anyone keep these in their tank or are they not worth the risk? Some came with a CUC pack I bought and I've heard they can nuke your tank if they die?

Well got home from work today to find my 125g leaking at the bulkhead in the bottom. So I drained the tank took out all my rock put it in the barrels I saved my water in, caught all my fish put them in a separate barrel and began work. After scrambling around town and calling in some help I got...

Is crushed coral an acceptable substrate for my fuge? I only ask because I already have a DSB in my DT.

Hi guys so my powder brown tang and my frogspawn piece showed up today. My question is how exactly frogspawn spreads it came on a long thin piece of what looks like "dead" coral so to speak with 6 different heads coming off of it with all the "tentacles" on them. I've ever only seen rocks...

Hello again before I begin yes my tank has fully cycled. I tested my water last night and my params were: nitrite 0 ammonia 1.0 ph 8.8 and nitrate 40. What aside from a large water change should be my course of action here? There is no visible sign of where the ammonia could be coming from and...

Guys just curious how many power strips everyone uses. Behind my 125g I only have a standard 2 plug outlet and I've filled 2 bars already and need more outlets any ideas out there?

My tank malfunctioned and dumped several gallons of water on my floor. I'm in trouble guys this is on the wife's new carpet. My stand is solid on the bottom so I don't know how to get it dry underneath less draining the whole tank to be moved. Anyone have any experience or advice with a flood?

Is there any way to speed up the spread of corraline algae? My params are all spot on it just seems to be growing on certain rocks and not spreading. I would prefer not to dose but if there is something I would try it. Mine is also not very dark purple almost violet in color. I see some members...

Hi guys does anyone have any tricks as to getting the flow of a tank to stir stuff off the bottom? My tank is fairly deep at 36" and and I'm running 3 korralia 1400's problem is I get awesome flow around the top and middle but nothing is stirring on the bottom and I can see lots of crud down...

Hi guys, well after battling high nitrates since the inception of my tank I have decided to try dosing this stuff. I have done several 40% water changes without making a dent. On my API test kit they read blood red which is like 160ppm and my seachem kit reads off the chart as well. So I have...

Last night I redid my rock work in my tank and yes it did stir up a bunch of crud so I haven't done any test yet but as of last test everything was fine save my nitrates which are around 40ppm. But my clown has been swimming sideways at the top like this for an hour or so he will leave and go...

This one is my start from scratch tank. It is a work in progress. Any thoughts on my rock work? I'm not quite happy with it yet. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I gotta be honest the tank is "new" to me but it's been running for over a year. I bought it fully stocked as is and moved it home a couple days ago. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

On my return line to my DT I installed a ball valve to help control flow/water level in fuge. My issue is to get the appropriate water depth for my skimmer to function I have to half way close that valve and it sounds as if I'm overworking my return pump. Is this an issue and if it is how do I...

My tang has developed this white patch on one side. Have had him for 2 weeks now drip acclimated 3 hrs. No aggression in the tank it's roommates all like him and get along. 125g reef with 40g refugium. Ph 8.4, nitrite 0, ammonia 0, nitrates 50 (working on that with water changes) it is still...

Hi all, I've been battling high nitrates since I set my tank up 5 mo. ago, it was previously setup so my cycle was minimal. However my nitrates have always been in the red. I've had previous posts with lots of feedback on tackling this but so far no go. I usually use RODI in water changes but...

Hi guys last night I broke/cracked one of the inlet pieces on my skimmer. Problem being it is a molded piece. A friend suggested I use jb weld to seal it up but I'm not sure if that could leach into my water is there anything out there that is safe to use in my tank?

Hi guys I'm cleaning my tank and sump today and am curious about how to go about cleaning the sump. I have live rock rubble and a huge chunk of chaeto in there usually this isn't a problem I just empty it all out and clean. Well upon inspection today I notice I have a boatload of pods swimming...
