Doesn't that cause a lot of glare? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Hey folks. As you can see by my picture, I'm using a 25 gallon tank meant for freshwater for my nano reef. By meant for freshwater I mean it has no overflow or sump cutouts or anything. What are my cover options for this tank? I have a custom cut piece of plexiglass but that seems to trap a lot...

Any idea what these are? I've never dealt with copopods or anything so assume I'm completely oblivious to that sort of thing. Haha thanks fellow reefers ? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

My dKH is only at 7 right now out of the tap

What I mean is, High KH but low GH. Thanks!

Alright so for my freshwater tank, I've always used tap water. Out of the tap, the pH is 8.0. We have a "descaler" on the house because of all the hard water marks it leaves in our showers, sinks, etc. The dKH out of the tap is 7. What I find most interesting, is that the RODI unit I use for my...

Alright so I recently purchased some snails out of a tank that had marine ich in it. Since ich cannot live off of invertebrates, I figured they'd be fine. However, when I was fishing the snails out of the bag, my hand slipped and some of the water from the shop ended up in my tank. Maybe about a...

I've got my toadstool leather and my cabbage leather pretty close to each other because I want them to be closer to the lighting, in this case middle of the tank because I'm only running two ati T5 bulbs on my 25 gallon. I've had them there for a few days now and they seem to be doing okay, but...

My protein skimmer wasn't working very well so I decided to take it apart and clean it. Upon disassembly, I found probably 40 clear little "bugs" with no other obvious coloration to them. Are these amphipods or something I should worry about? They almost looked slug like, and the closest thing I...

I have these popping up in my tank. One has been there since I got a Kenya tree frag. The other two just shower up recently. I'm 99% certain they aren't aiptasia cause they look totally different. The one almost looks like a frog spawn or something. Help? Sent from my SM-G900V using Aquarium...

I actually have a rodi but I don't use it because of the 4 gallons to 1 of water waste :( I live in Arizona and the water here in the desert is at a premium price wise. Sent from my SM-G900V using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I'm using a dual T5 HO fixture on my 25 gallon nano reef tank that's using a 10,000K bulb and an actinic bulb. The 10,000K bulb will not light up unless you tap on it. I've switched the two bulbs and it happens in either slot, while the actinic bulb works perfectly fine in either slot. I also...

Maybe it's just my imagination, but do the connections where the pins insert into look bent to you? Sent from my SM-G900V using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I have two different hydrometers, one made by fluval and one made by instant ocean. The fluval one is about a year old; the instant ocean one I just bought today. The fluval says my salinity is 1.023 and the instant ocean reads 1.027. What gives? :/ Sent from my SM-G900V using Aquarium Advice...

I also thought LPS coral needed a MINIMUM of 3 watts per gallon. According to the representative from coralife, 2 watts per gallon is enough bit I'm not sure I buy into that. Any thoughts? Sent from my SM-G900V using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Hey that's exactly what I decided to get! I ordered them this morning from marine depot. Sent from my SM-G900V using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I asked the manufacturer (coralife) what their system is rated for, here's their answer: " For small aquariums such as a 25 gallon, a 2 bulb HO T5 system will support most LPS, soft and leather corals. SPS corals and clams probably won't do so well under just two bulbs. The only leather coral I...

I'm considering using two of these: http://www.marinedepot.com/ATI_Coral_Plus_T5HO_Fluorescent_Bulb_T5_High_Output_Fluorescent_Light_Bulbs_for_Aquariums-ATI-UZ1133-FILTBUT5HO-vi.html Sent from my SM-G900V using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I'm assuming there's other differences other than bulb length. IE I have a 24 inch fixture. Sent from my SM-G900V using Aquarium Advice mobile app
