I got my sons Beta fish a new 5.5gal tank. Unfortunately this is a downgrade from his 10gal mansion, but it means much more attention for him. This new tank will be in my living room, so I want to deck it out with baby tears. I'm looking for some suggestions for a good light for a 5.5gal...

I've been away from many forums I used to follow. Not really something I expected to happen, but kind of just did. I have to say I miss chatting with people here and on the other forums I used to visit, and just being part of such a great community. I'm still trying to deal with my foot injury...

Basically having a terrible time with this guy already. But that's another story. Right now I'm curious to see what you guys ID it as vs what the seller said I was getting Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Just kinda upset to say that I lost a fish. One of my Mccosker wrasse somehow escaped the tank. I know they are jumpers and he found a hole. I have had 2 Mccoskers in my tank now for quiet awhile. Both doing very well and they were actually becoming to be inseparable. Even sleeping next to...

Ok. I give. I thought this Zoa colony was bouncing back after removing a couple vermetid snails. But it continued to have polyps melt away. I thought maybe it was too shaded so I moved some rocks around. Still melting away. I changed the position of the rock the zoas are on and they look very...

Hopefully this is aloud because I am tired of seeing still pictures! 1 minute videos or less with at least some part being a full tank shot! Just let us enjoy what you enjoy when you sit and watch your tank! Link to YouTube: https://youtu.be/aZN5XFXI25s Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium...

Lately the PH of my tank has made huge daily swings but mainly stays in the high .3 to low .4. All winter and honestly sense I setup my apex in the fall my ph has stayed below 8.3 in a range to 8.1. For whatever reason my ph seems to be rising with yesterday ph reaching 8.49. Not sure exactly...

Does anyone have any experience with Rose petal macro algae? A local reefer is selling some and it looks amazing. But I am wondering why more people don't talk about it? I've never heard about it or seen it until today? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

So I just wasted a whole tube of instant ocean holdfast and about 2.5 hours. I was trying to make a couple rocks more secure and then was planning on placing a couple frags in locations I wanted but didn't have anyway to do it. I figured I'd have an easy time using this stuff. I failed. I...

Just want to show these off a bit ?. I just got these in the mail and this picture was taken about 10 minutes after first putting them in the tank. I'm really excited to get these light acclimated and placed! Part of the reason I'm extra excited is that I only ordered 5 frags and got 4 extra...

I'm contemplating changing the color of my back tank glass. Currently it is black and I want to lighten it up a little. My thought is a very nice very light blue nothing too dark or overpowering. If you were going to pick a color what color would you choose?! Open to any suggestions! I wish...

Right now I feel like my tank is doing very well. But I feel like I could do better in terms of lighting. The 2 black box LEDs that I have now work well and my corals seem happy and healthy. Although I wonder if they are getting enough. My tank is 2ft deep and 5ft long. I only have 2 led units...

I've heard a few times now that using Gel Photography filters helps less capable cameras and smart phones take pictures of our fish tanks. I'm not sure of the exact technical reasons why this works but I wanted to give it a shot especially sense a pack is less than $8 shipped. Has anyone tried...

I got a new coral frag from a fellow reefer yesterday. The frag I got is a Hawkin Echinata Acropora. I don't have any acros yet so this is my first one. I'm not sure what to look for to tell if it's healthy or not. What do you guys think? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Hello everyone! I'm looking for a bit of guidance on redoing the plumbing for my return line. I currently have a fountain pump from the hardware store as my return pump. It's rated at almost 600gph but not sure what it's rated for pumping water to 5ft (the height of my tank). My return is...

Lately I've been noticing strange behavior between my clownfish pair. To start they are absolutely inseparable now which is kind of cool. But they also seemed to have picked out a very specific spot on a rock where they constantly rub and pick at. I've also noticed the seizure like behavior of...

I was at a new LFS today and saw a couple coral frags I liked a lot. I was hoping you guys could help me ID some I'm interested in the green/multicolored frags And also the coral frag just behind the red zoas. I know it's hard to see but it was the best I could do. Thanks! Sent from my...

So I got a 3 stalk frag of Red Sea Xenia yesterday and went through the normal routine. Drop acclimated for an hour or so. Prepared a dip in CoralRX and then rinsed in acclimation water and placed in the tank. Then I realized I didn't put salt in the coralRX water.. Now today my Xenia has...

If you were going to replace a T10 48" bulb with a new one..which would you choose over a mixed young reef tank? I currently have an old fixture I used for my 55gal freshwater. It has a Marineland F40T10 48" natural daylight bulb in it. Sense I'm patiently awaiting on the IRS.........I am using...

Well sense one of my eBay 120w fixtures died yesterday I'm on the hunt for a good replacement. I'm hoping the one unit I have left will suffice being in the middle of my tank for a little while. I was trying to move toward sps corals so this new light will have to be capable of supporting them...

One of my EBay LED fixtures broke today. The white LEDS won't turn on anymore. I guess that's kinda what I get for buying them used or maybe just a cheap fixture in general. Does anyone know if these things are fixable? Or even worth it? Can I just replace the LED panel? The power supply still...

Freshwater post what?? Haha Ok so my issue right now is that I have an old piece of driftwood I would like to use for my 10 gal freshwater tank. Before I took down the tank this piece was in more then a year ago the driftwood had a pretty good amount of black beard algae on it. Today when...
