Any suggestions of compatible fish with a Red Stripe Angel (Eibl's Angelfish, Eibl's Pygmy Angelfish, Orangelined Angelfish, Blacktail Angelfish, and Eibl's Dwarf Angel) for a fish/invert tank? Not concerned with coral. 90 gallon tank. Thanks in advance!

ID please - not the peppermint shrimp.

I've been trying to research Alkalinity and it looks like there are some pretty big differences of opinion. In mid September, I began using the Red Sea line of products - Reef Foundation, Reef Energy, and Coral Colors. Corals have become much more vibrant except I had a Candy Cane die and a...

I have a Current USA Orbit Marine Pro LED 48" on a mixed reef 65 gallon reef tank. I’ve had it running for about 2 months and have pretty good growth. I also have a 2 bulb T-8 48 inch florescent fixture that I would like to add for supplemental lighting. Can anyone recommend a brand and best...

This is pretty wild. I recently put a green bubble tip in my tank. Already had a few ocillaris clowns that did not appear to be interested in hosting. I had forgotten to protect the anemone on one of the inflow parts of a UV and it was pulled half way in. I turned off the power and hoped it...

What can you use to cover a reef aquarium without filtering out any light spectrum or losing the shimmering effect provided by LED's and T8's? Unfortunately, a canopy is not an option for my setup. I currently use egg crating but I've still lost a jumper or two that have managed to get through...

Coral Frag ID please

Looking to get a new LED unit for a reef. I don't have in my budget for the higher ended models. Looking for maybe between $300 - $400. Would like to have enough par for a clam if possible. Anyone have an opinion on the Current USA Orbit Marine Pro LED 48" to 60" - Saltwater Aquarium Light for...

Over the past several months, I have been trying to raise magnesium and calcium levels with supplements and it does not seem to be doing very much. 65 gallon reef with a 10 gallon refugium (just added fuge a few weeks ago). I dose vodka - been doing that for about 3 years - tank has been...

I have a TaoTronics165w Dimmable Led that has white and blue lights only. Working well and happy with them. However, I've seen many systems that have a few red and green LEDS that bring out some beautiful colors of coral. I'd like to avoid the expense of having to buy a new appliance and...

I'm pretty new to the refugium world. This morning, I woke up to this on some of my macro algae. Lights on for 12 / off for 12 Salt: 1.025 Temp: 76.9 PH: 8.2 Alk: 8.0 Calcium: 395 Magnesium: 1180 (this is a bit low) Phosphate, Amm, Trite, Trate: 0 Anyone know what this is caused by?

Good Day, I'm wondering if anyone has tried this idea concerning overflowing a refugium. I know and understand several ways to prevent flooding in the event of a power outage...a check valve on the return line, siphon breaks, keeping the water level low enough so the refugium can handle the...

I wanted to see if anyone has heard of a product or DIY way of preventing a flood from a refugium. I understand the solution of a siphon break and keeping the water at a lower level that will allow for water to flow back into the refugium. I have attached a pdf file to illustrate what I'm...

Looks like either a large zoa or a mushroom. Anyone know what this is? Thanks!

Just built a 10 gallon refugium for a 60 gallon reef tank. I have an Eshopps 125 Gallon Overflow Box - 800 GPH. The return pump will be about 3 - 3 1/2 feet below the return jet to the tank. I am using rigid airline tubing. I've seen several ways to calculate how powerful the pump needs to be...

Couple of questions I'd be interested in hearing a bit of feedback...Although I've known for the past 4 years I should be using RODI, I was not and using tap for a 65 gallon. Least to say, I've not had the best luck keeping up with the more delicate corals. I've had some of livestock in the tank...

Anyone ever see frogspawn branch out like this? It started right after I installed the LED's. Might be hard to see but going from top right at the main colony to bottom left. It gets longer each day and looks like it's going to break off.

I have 2 Taotronic 120w Dimmable Led Aquarium Lights hanging over my tank and currently use white egg crating as a cover. The egg crating seems to reflect quite a bit of light back into the room which can be somewhat blinding if you sit in the room with the tank. Since I cannot have a sump...

I just installed a pair of Taotronic 120 Watt dimmable LED's - TT-AL09. I currently have a couple of corals that were growing nicely under T5's but wanted some more flexibility - currently have some zoa's, mushrooms, xenias, frogspawn. I understand it is best to slowly ramp up the intensity of...

Any opinions on this led system for a 60 gallon tank to support hard corals and clams? Also have 2 T5 HO as well.

The more research I'm doing, the more confused I'm getting. I was originally going to go with T5's but now leading towards LED's. I have a 60 gallon - 48”L X 13”W X 24”H and want to be able to support all types of corals and clams. I would prefer the kinds that dim and have the special effects...

I am getting ready to upgrade my lighting to a unit that holds 6 T5's for a 60 gallon salt water tank. I would like to be able to have clams as well as all types of coral. Do you suggestions as to which 6 bulbs I should use for optimal growth and to bring out the most vibrant colors possible...

I'm looking to do one of 2 things. Either purchase an RO system to be used for just for a salt water tank (reef) or possibly add an entire home system so that the filtered water comes out of all the faucets, showers, etc. I am unfamiliar with the RO filtration systems available and have seem...

Overnight, my Foxface has developed an issue with one of the eyes. It almost looks like it's a large contact lens over his eye. He's active and eating. Coloring looks good. Have not seen anything else in the tank picking at him Any idea what this is and if it can be treated? Here is his...
