Hey can someone help me identify this starfish? I've had my tank for months and I've literally just saw him now lol. If he's dangerous please let me know because I might not see him for a couple more months.

So I have a mix of hermits and snails and am aware eventually the hermits will most likely start attacking the snails. My turbo snails was on the glass and I noticed a little dent in his foot. Is this normal or do you think he was attacked by a hermit. Check out the picture below and let me know...

So I got solar flare dx lights to start my tank. There are 24 3w LEDs (18 white 6 blue) I can't find much review on them and am not sure if they have enough power for my 54 corner tank. I'm not positive but I think they put out around 74 watts. If anyone has any information on these lights or...

So my BRS 4 stage rodi maker came in today and I have a few questions. Does it matter how much water I make any given time (can I make small amount for tops off then turn off rodi system?) Also what is best way to maintain it? I have the auto flush thing on it so I was curious if I just drain it...

So over the past couple weeks I've been testing my calcium and alkalinity using an API test lot. I was wondering if the numbers I'm getting are ok. I get a reading of 460ppm for calcium (roughly 23-24 drops) and a reading of 169ppm for KH (roughly 9 drops). My ph is on the low aside between...

So my 54 corner tank is roughly 38 days old, I've done a 20% change followed by a 30% change in the past two weeks (this was also in efforts to dilute stress coat I used). I was planning on waiting 2 weeks before my next 20% water change. I know a weekly or biweekly water change schedule is...

I couldn't get a great picture but my best description of this thing is a snail with a flat shell. The shell has a brown circle on it.(circle looks more purple in picture) is it a sea slug?

So I've had thousands of tiny Copepods or amphipods(not really sure which one) swimming around my tank for the past week. I've read this is a natural part of a new system but it is making my water cloudy. Is there anything I can do to speed up the process or will the system need time to balance...

Want to know where I should place my powerheads (hydor 850 and 750) for optimal water flow. Hopefully the picture helps you see how my liverock is setup but you may have to zoom in alittle(there is some space behind the rock). I also purchased a hydor wave control and was wondering what...

So sadly I started my tank with stress coat plus and was then found out the aloe it contains really messes with the skimmer. I have a 54 gallon tank and have done one 20% water change. I was going to do one more this weekend then try to run the skimmer. Would I be better off doing a third water...

I'm just looking for some input on how a finger leather/colt coral would do for a first coral. I am very consistent with weekly 20% water changes (would dosing be necessary, if using reef crystal?) I'm open to all suggestions in regards to what I should start with but would like to know...

I've had my 54 gallon corner tank running for a little over a month. There are currently two clowns, roughly 15 snails and hermits, and a starry blenny. I've been trying to stay patient and am currently gaining the knowledge I need to grow and maintain healthy corals. I've dosed the tank once...

My 55 gallon african tank with about 40 fish smells like poop. How do i eliminate the odor? Would water changes do the trick or could i buy a product that does the job?

Ive had my 55 gallon african cichlid tank running for about 4 months. The tank contains alittle under 30 fish. I have a fluval 305, a whisper 30, and a whisper 20. I noticed one of my fish guarding a cve under some wood. I looked in the cave and found babies. The Mother seems to be doing an...
