I just separated some baby Banggai cardinal fish into some safe breeder homes. This is my first time taking care of baby fish. I just fed them brine shrimp that were fortified with vita chem. Any advice on how to keep these babies alive? Is daily feeding sufficient? Anybody have good...

I was wanting to do some photography for my reef tank. Has anyone tried a USB microscope for close-up photography?

I have some multicolored clove polyps that do not seem to have the best color. The seller said they needed lots of light; my 3 watt LEDs may have toasted them a bit even though they were as low as they could go in the tank. I have them in a less bright part of the tank now. Any advice for...

Hey folks. It is good to be on Aquaruim Advice. This is my first time on a forum for many years. I just started my first aquarium ever, 75 gallon reef tank with a 30 gallon refugium thanks to my brother's help. I recently purchased a 48 inch "Green Element Evo" fixture from aquatraders.com...
