    What's going on with my Kenya Tree?

    I've had it for a few months now and it has been growing very well. I was out of town for the weekend and when I returned on Monday I noticed it wasn't opening up except for the newest sprout. I did a water change like I regularly do the next day, but it has now been 4 days and its still not...

    Added a new canister filter, out with the old one or keep it?

    I've had an eheim 2236 canister filter which is rated for 60 gallons for the past 3 years. I've upgraded to a Rena XP3 which is rated for 165 gallons a few days ago. Both of them are now running simultaneously. I am thinking that two of them would be a lot of maintenance and remembering about...

    Is my Rose Anemone Dying?

    So I got this rose bubble tip anemone last week. It took a day or so to find a spot that it liked and since then it has been doing well, puffed up and it even ate half a silverside I gave him. I did a 20% water change 2 days ago. It was nice and puffed up most of today and just as I was passing...

    How many gallons to treat for?

    My tank is a 46 gallon tank, but I have about 70 lbs of live rock. So I know that all the live rock displaces most of the water, so I don't really have 46 gallons in there. So when I add things like calcium and reef supplements to my water, should I dose it based on 46 gallons or something else?

    I just noticed this baby star fish on my live rock. I started my tank about two months ago. I read that these baby star fish can be bad for coral, and I would like to add coral in the future. Is this and Asterinas? Should I get rid of it?
