    Copperband Butterfly or Matted Leatherjacket Filefish

    Hello everyone, So I'm having some aiptasia issues in my mixed reef tank, and I don't have time to do Aiptasia-X every day. I've tried Berghias, but I've got a Molly Miller blenny that eats them every time I get them. Peppermints just don't seem to eat the aiptasia. So what it comes down to...

    Hello Nitrates - the fight begins

    It depends how much flow you're getting in said phosphate reactor. If it's less than 50 GPH, you should try Matrix's sister product known as De-Nitrate. Also made by Seachem, De-Nitrate is another porous stone based media, but it is formulated to actually reduce nitrates specifically, rather...

    Hello Nitrates - the fight begins

    Biopellets require a specific biopellet reactor, which are awful to maintain and clean. I'd consider using a large amount of Seachem's Matrix. Matrix is a biologic filter powerhouse. One liter of Matrix is equivalent to 170 liters of bioballs, and has over 700 square meters of surface area for...

    Name The Mystery Tang

    Definitely Ctenochaetus cyanocheilus. Closely related to Kole tangs and Tomini tangs, but it's less popular in the aquarium industry. Max size is about 6 and a half inches, so it's on the smaller side, as far as tangs go. It's also known as the short-tailed Tang, or the bluelip Tang (the...

    Hammer Coral Parasite Eggs?

    Regular, it's a gorgeous frag. That's why I was so concerned, but now it looks like my percula is biting it?

    Foxface + Reef glue = ???

    Hey there, I was gluing some coral into my 90 when the freshly applied glue on the bottom of a frag happened to touch my foxface's spines... What exactly should I do? (yes I'm aware the photo is blurry, but it gets the point across)

    What kind of rabbitfish?

    He does have some yellow in him, my lights don't do fish's colors any justice. He might just be too young to tell yet, the lines on him seem to only go 1/3 of the way down his body.

    What kind of rabbitfish?

    Hey, Got a rabbitfish a couple days ago, the store wasn't sure if it's a two barred (Siganus virgatus) or a scribbled (Siganus doliatus) rabbit. Besides the one attachment, I don't have any good pictures of it or any good way to get pictures of it. I just need a way to tell the two species...

    Rabbitfish x Foxface trouble

    Indeed it is! The rabbit would get demolished. Also, update: In an attempt to use an AquaMedic fish trap to catch the fox face, I managed to cut my hand 5 times on various rocks and items in my aquarium. I also ended up getting stung by the Fox twice, yet, I failed to catch the fox. I did scare...
