I bought this sps frag yesterday along with a pretty big torch coral and I was wondering what it was as I'm pretty new to sps. Thanks ? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

My tank is almost 6 weeks old and I've had diatoms for just over 4 weeks and I'm wondering how long they'll last for as they're pretty ugly to look at. I used live rock from another tank of mine so it cycled pretty much straight away and my ammonia and nitrite are at 0 and my nitrate is around...

I set up my new tank a few days ago with live rock from my established old tank and some from a friends established tank. I've been ghost feeding since then and haven't seen any ammonia. When will this happen or will I not see a spike as my live rock is already established? When I transported...

I'm upgrading from a 10g to a 29g in the near future so I will be moving my ocellaris clown and citron clown goby from the 10g to the new tank but I don't know what else to get. I'm thinking another clown and maybe a royal gramma/longnose hawkfish. Is the hawkfish reef safe and will it eat...

I've had my 10 gallon tank for a few months now and I'm starting to realise that it's just too small. The water evaporates to quickly and I need to be on top of my salinity 24/7. I'm planning to upgrade to a 36 gallon tank in the near future and I'm looking for stocking advice. At the moment I...

I've set up my second reef tank which is 10 gallons in volume and it's fully cycled. I introduced a clown goby today along with a couple of hermits but the clown goby is hiding. I understand it will probably be shy or nervous but I'm just wondering how long it will be like this. Should I try to...

I set up my tank about 2 weeks ago and a hair algae bloom has started. What's the best way to get rid of it? Should I add a cuc or remove it manually or something? Thanks

Could I keep either 1 or 2 ocellaris clowns in my 12 gallon cube, my dimensions are 13x13x15 inches approximately. Thanks :)

I set up my 12 gallon cube on Sunday and today I tested the water and I found: Ammonia 0 Nitrite 0 Nitrate 5/10. (It's hard to tell) I have been testing the water daily and on Monday and Tuesday my ammonia was 0.5 but my nitrite has stayed at 0. My nitrate also read 0 until today. I have 17lb...

I bought some established live rock from a friends tank for my newly set up nano and today this opened up but I don't know what it is! If you do know please let me know

Yesterday I set up my first saltwater tank after 4 years of keeping freshwater and after months of research and buying equipment here it is! I'm using a par38 led bulb with a gooseneck bulb holder, a hydor koralia 240 power head and a 125 gph hob filter with activated carbon. I also have a clip...

I set up my first nano reef a couple of days ago with established and cured live rock from a friends tank. Will still cycle? I've tested the water daily and not seen any ammonia, nitrites or nitrates so I don't really know what's going on. If you have any advice then please let me know! Sent...

I am starting up my 12 gallon nano reef this weekend and I am planning what I want to keep in the tank. So far I want 3 sexy shrimp, 3 nerite snails and 2 hermit crabs. Would this be ok or do you have any other suggestions? As for fish I'm thinking a possum wrasse and possibly a clown goby...

I am planning my first bristlenose breeding tank. I have a 40 gallon long which I plan to divide into 2 20 gallon tanks with dimensions of 24x12x16 approx. In one tank I'm going to have lots of caves, PVC pipes, wood etc in which the breeding can take place. My main question is whether I should...

I am planning on breeding bristlenose pleco in a 40 gallon tank. I would only keep the pair in the tank and when they spawn I would move the female to my 115 gallon display tank. However, I don't know how the tank should be set up. I have a submersible filter but could I cover the intake with...
