My watchman goby is seemingly happy and healthy, but I noticed he has some weird quill like protrusions he didn't have the other day. Firework? Any thoughts? I attached two pictures that show it on his right side, kind of hard to see, sorry. Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

My LEDs went out today. How long do I have before I start seeing death and such in my corals and nems? I can order another unit online but it won't be here for about a week what do I do?

I just picked up a new bubble tip for my maroon finally. I think my maroon is bothering it seeing as once it started hosting a day after I put it in it shrunk. Any suggestions? I have it in a mesh breeding box for now I hope it has enough light

I have a 120g reef with a hoevens wrasse, maroon clown, and scooter dragonette. I need aggressive eaters that are hardy. I had a yellow tang but it contracted ich and died in the hospital tank. I want colorful active fish in my tank that won't nip my corals! Thank you!

I already have a yellow tang in my 120g and want to add either a white-tailed bristletooth or a kole yellow eyes tang. I realize that tangs fight with same species, would either of these be compatible? Would they all be compatible together? Thank you

I have a built in center trapezoidal overflow and its like a mini waterfall in my room. I went to my lfs and he had a muffler to sell me for $25. I have a feeling there is an easier and cheaper way to muffle it. I have an idea of what I could do but want to hear from experienced hobbyists...

I finally made the transfers of all of my animals into my 120 from my 20. My maroon clown is having difficulty getting used to the new home. She swims on one side of the tank and stationary swam by the overflow all night. I thought it would be okay after the lights went out but today the same...

My tank went through the cycle and lost its diatoms and I finally added my fish and coral! I need to buy another light still so I placed the one I have in the center and will place coral appropriately. Finally the relief!

Okay so I have finally bought sand/rock and filked my display for the most part. Needless to say, I am now broke and have to wait until next Friday (payday) for anything else to do with my tank. I'm really excited to finally have water going in this thing it has taken what seems like forever...

I bought a rasta zoa polyp along with some bam bams an utter chaos and watermelons last week. The utter chaos and watermelons are open and normal. The bambams and rasta aren't opening. They were on the same rock as the utter chaos (pictured) but I moved them after them not opening after a few...

The middle one Thank you

These two little polyps are in with my zoas but idk what they are exactly

Reef safe? I know it will consume small fish, just how small is small? I have never actually seen one in person at full size, so in inches how small of a fish is too small to have in there with it?? Thank you

I have my tank drilled on the bottom and have bulkhead fittings that have rubber gaskets for their seal. Do I need to put silicone or anything or is the rubber sufficient enough? Thank you

I picked up some zoas today does anyone know their names??

I know they are really rare to actually find but from the photos on google it looked like it. Not normal bristles but white/clear ones on the edges of a red body. I couldn't get a picture when I saw it but my new puffer may have gotten to one last night all I have is a small segment I took a...

I just bought this little piece today but forgot its name already. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

I was thinking about if it is a good idea to put some kind of rubber mat on the bottom of my tank then the sand on top of it. This is so I can put rocks onto it and not have them touching the glass. Would it cause problems??

I love the zebra lion but have been told that it would eat my six line and my scooter, I also have a reef so I don't want it to be blinded by my leds as I heard it can happen. Ideas?? It's for a 120g.

I was originally going to do the normal baffled sump/fuge then when I saw the price of my glass shops for cut glass I entertained a new idea. I have a 40g breeder, I'm thinking of making a floating box made from plastic grate that will house chaeto. Ill also have my skimmer and pump in th the...

Okay so I finally got my 120 tank in. It's built in overflow and drilled. I bought a 40g for a sump and have a few questions on the dimensions I should make it. I want a refugium in there as well so my baffles are in question. So I needed to ask how high do I make my first baffles if I need a 6"...

What does it mean when a mushroom detaches from the rock??

My new 120 should be back from drilling next week and set up will finally begin. I won't be able to have it running till I buy a skimmer with my next paycheck. I currently have: maroon clown, blue green chromis and a scooter blenny. i want to add the following to my new tank once its ready...

I ordered the 120 gallon tank I've been planning on getting. I opted out on getting the tank drilled and an overflow put in figuring I'd be able to save and buy a hob box. These things seem grossly overpriced for a plastic box. Does anyone have a link to somewhere that doesn't charge an arm and...

My cleaner shrimp has been missing for about 4-5 days now. Does molting take this long?? Only fish are a maroon clown that has never bothered the shrimp, a scooter blenny, and a blue green chromis. There is a nem in the tank. Could it have had a snack?? There is no sign of the shrimp I moved a...
