    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...

    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...

    Pocillipora successful spawning?!

    Hey everyone! Today whilst working at The Fish Crew (my LFS and employer), I was cleaning our Red Sea Max S-500, on which we replaced the t5s with a Kessil ap-700 just last week. We are using it as a display SPS tank. It has lots of acros, some montis, and pocillipora. Something caught my eye...

    LED wattage for Acro and other SPS?

    Hey guys, I'm aware that LED guidelines say about 1 Watt per gallon is good for most corals. How many watts would be good enough for Acros and SPS? (of course, these would be in the higher half of the tank. I'm not looking for specifics on my tank, just a general guideline) 90 G Reef 55 G...

    Ich

    Hey, It's very possible I have ich in my 90 reef. I just have a few questions: 1. If I were to set up a hospital tank, how would I quickly cycle it in order to get my fish in it ASAP? 2. Can freshwater (or parasite dips) be the only thing I need to do to get rid of the parasite? If so, how...

    Scarlet Cleaner Shrimp

    Hey, I have a scarlet Cleaner shrimp, and I'm aware that they tend to clean things. Just last night, after having him for 8 months, he began to actually get on my fish (one spot foxface and tomini tang) to clean them. Should I take this as a possible sign that my fish have parasites?
