I am in the process of plumbing my 90gal to a trigger sump below. I am utilizing the 2 1" holes as the stand pipes and having the return out the back and over. The issue I am having is that since the aquarium overflow is off center on the left hand side and the way the sump bulkheads are I...

Hi there. Been awhile since I've posted. Finally in place I own and ready to put up a bigger tank than my 29cube and need a little help with stocking. Buying the tank next week and starting the slow process. 90gal Aqueon 48x18x25 Trigger emerald 34 sump so about 120gals of total system. Going...

I recently have been losing all my sps in my nano and it is not from bleaching. For the most part everything is has been stable with normal 20% weekly water change. Below is a pic of my stylo that appears to have bite marks on the trunk of the coral. Anyone's thoughts? Similar things have...

Been posting a lot as of recent because this apex has brought a whole new world into my personal reefing capabilities. I've heard of PH dipping in the night and was curious what people do to help combat that for people that don't have a fuge to run counter lighting on it from the display. Over...

Anyone familiar with programming in apex fusion and vortechs? I've read you can put it in feed more or a certain speed but mine just turns off completely. *if feedA then slow mode* *If feedA then 10%* -tried going all the way up to 40% and still shuts it all off. My Blenny goes in there...

I was wondering if people think this is byopsis or just regular gha? Phosphates not showing up on Hannah checker and nitrates 0 on Red Sea test. 30% water change 7-10 days. I've had gha before and would physically remove it. However, the stuff on the pictures is deep in the rocks. So attached...

I am having some trouble getting my radion and Vortech to connect to my apex. I read on the Neptune community there are issues because eco tech wants you to use the reef link instead. Anyone have issues like this recently? I have gone to Neptune support and watched videos and still no luck...

I all of a sudden started having tissue recession on my monti digi and not sure exactly why. Just tested parameters below. 29 biocube. Mixed reef. Frogspawn, digi, cats paw, birds of paradise, zoa garden, blasto, and a couple acan frags. All Red Sea test kits Ca: 420 Alk: 8.1 Mag: 1200...

Quick question. Upgraded my algae scrapper to the tunze one out there. I have turned my old mag float algae scrapper into a frag rack by glueing a light defuser on the waterside magnet . Right now it is placed in front panel of my 29cube. My question is, I want to put it on the back wall but...

First I have a question about the Red Sea alk test. I follow the directions and everything and was curious if it's supposed to turn a dark vibrant orange like how the calc test turns a dark blue. When I do the alk test it turns orange but not a bright orange. Other question. Curious how calc...

I recently picked up a couple acans at a swap and had a couple questions since I have never kept these before. Right before the lights came on I saw something which looked like smoke coming from one of the acans on my frag rack. I touched the side of it with my feeding tool and a puff of smoke...

I thought I would share a couple crappy iPhone pictures of my 29biocube that has been running for a year and a half. First mistake I made with corals was putting a yellow polyp colony, pulsing Xenia, and a Kenya tree in the tank. About 9 months I realized this and took everything out and...

Quick story that hasn't happened to me in the hobby before but glad I listened to the forums and videos. Last night the power went out for a hour or so and I was at my gfs place and unable to check on my tank but not too worried since I have a back up battery for my vortech. I came back and my...

My male o. clown recently has a black spot on his tail in the picture below. I woke up one day and it was on there. Any idea what it could be? It definitely is not a birth mark. It just was there one day Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I currently have a spectra pure 90gpd 4 stage unit. I see that marine depot has the exact 90gpd membrane for the unit. My question is can I use a membrane rated for more gpd? I could get one that is rated for more gpd at same price or less. Thanks, Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Title says it all. Curious on what everyone's favorite aquarium reef books they would recommend? Either advance or basic concepts. I'm just on forums and websites and going on vacation and like reading and won't have access to Internet. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Just curious. When heaters go out on people do they just stop or gradually decline in efficiency? The reason I ask is because I have a heater I keep having to turn up to keep it 77-78 degrees. It's obviously still generating some heat but not as well as it used to. Kind of a dumb question but...

Looks to have black tips on the pinchers. Anyone have a clue? Sorry for the bad pic. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

need help with this ID

Has anyone had success having a puffer in a reef system. I love the look of valentini and blue spotted puffers. Would like one but I rather have healthy sps and lps in the DT over fish.

Title says it all. Just purchased a xr15 pro for one of my nanos with the reef link. Mixed reef with some sps. I know I will need a acclimation period but I'm interested in people's light schedule they use. I appreciate the feedback

I need some help on where to install the "in" probe on my spectra pure 90gpd RO/DI unit. I know the out probe is for my line giving me the final product I'm just confused on what line to snip after the ro unit. Out is the right blue line. Is the inline supposed to go on the left blue line in...

Anyone have a good remedy or solution to not letting Vermetid snails in sand. I have the calcium tubes coming out of the sand and spreading tentacles coming out. Early stages in my 29 but want to nip it now. There's more coming out the sand then on my LR

Has anyone had a long nose hawk fish and recommend it and say reef safe?

Hello, I figured for my first build head to toe I would put together a log as something to look back on in my early learning stages. I have done planted freshwater and have had a mixed reef biocube 29 for a year and had the itch to upgrade. This is the stand I built last night and plan on...
