    Plate coral help

    My plate coral has been doing great but after adding two peppermint shrimp it was half eaten overnight. They ate all the centre where the mouth is and now that area is completely missing. This was 4 days ago. I left it in the tank as I know it can sometimes reproduce after a few months after...

    KH question

    My KH has dropped to 6.5. I don't like dosing anything in my tank as I think it'll just lead on to other problems although this Kh level worries me. I only have 2 lps corals and 1 tiny SPS frag so there is not much demand on the system. My calcium is at 420 so this seems fine. Any ideas? And us...

    Toadstool problem

    Anyone know what this us on my toadstool. It appeared a few weeks ago so I used a clean knife to take it off. Unfortunately six days later it had come back even worse. I'm worried it may start contaminating my water so am thinking about removing it. Any ideas anyone?

    Zoas health and safety!

    So what precautions do people take when messing with these things? I got my first one last night and was pretty nervous handling it. Do you only need to glove up when fragging it or should you do it all the time? What about when your messing with other things in the tank? I dint know whether all...

    Corals of internet dodgy

    I brought my first corals of the Internet today (in the uk). They all soft corals. Four of them. Trouble is they turned up at 5pm which means they were travelling a long time (they post them day before) and there was no heat pack in the box! I thought a heat pack is a must! Problem is I'm new to...

    Sand bed producing bubbles

    My sand bed is producing quite a lot of air bubbles. They are not settling on it but they are coming from underneath as you can see it on the glass. My sand bed is about 2.5" maybe 3" in some places. Could this be the result of nitrates being broken down in the low oxygen area of the sand bed...

    New corals and dosing???

    Finally decided my tank is ready for some corals so have ordered a soft coral pack from reeftanks.co.uk. I will eventually be getting some sps and lps too but will see how the others go first. My question is what do I need to start dosing to keep them all happy and what are the best test kits...

    Any ideas what this is?

    It's come in on my LR. First time i have seen it in 3 weeks. It's sticking to the back of the tank and it does not look like any snails i have seen. It has something sticking out of the point on the left hand side of it on pics. Wondering whether to pick it out and have a proper look?!

    Identification needed please

    Sorry it's hard to see but I'm wondering if anyone knows what these are. They are about the thickness of human hair and can get longer and shorter. One end of them is always hidden behind a rock but they can lengthen to about 4-5cm and seem to be in search of food. They have red and White bands...

    Test results help please!

    I'm new to sw and would appreciate some feedback on my test results. I'm used to cycling fw tanks so have the basic knowledge although these results have confused me a bit. I'm using NT labs test kit (not sure how good they are). My tank has been running exactly one week and I used all live rock...
