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

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'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...

This isn't really about sick coral, but since it's related to coral growth I figured this would be the best spot to post. I've got 50 watts of T5 HO lighting (10,000K and actinic) on my 25 gallon nano reef tank, so 2 watts per gallon. My corals have never really spread or reproduced. I've got...

Has anyone ever used Purigen in a media reactor instead of in a filter bag or canister filter? Right now I have my bulk reef supply media reactor running a mix or carbon and purigen and I'm going to see how the experiment turns out. Also, I've also used GFO (phosphate remover for those...

Hey folks, I've just finished my new aquascape with some reef saver rock from bulk reef supply. I chose this rock because it doesn't need to be cured so it was worth the few extra bucks. But anyways, what do you guys think of the placement? Also, I was curious how I can move my cabbage leather...

I know this a leather coral, but I'm curious exactly what kind? He seems to be doing well under my fluorescent lights with my zoas and Kenya trees, but just so I know exactly how to care for him, I'd like to know what he is! Thanks! Sent from my SM-G900V using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Looks like a nasarius but I wanna be sure! Sent from my SM-G900V using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I'm not sure if it's the lighting or suspended substrate, but I can't seem to get the white water effect to go away. Also can't figure out how to properly clean my sand bed. I use a syphon that I have for my freshwater tank but I always seem to suck up a few handfuls of sand. Afterwards, I can't...

I'll get straight to the point. My polyps haven't opened up in close to a month now. Just about a month ago, I had a chip in my tank. Complete and total catastrophic failure was nearly avoided. Obviously, this means the tank was drained and I don't know if the shock of a new tank killed them or...

I was drawn to dry rock because of the price. I could literally fill my entire 25G tank for about $10. So I ordered some pukani rock from bulk reef supply. I got it, boiled it, and then soaked it in salt water for 48 hours. After that, I scrubbed them thoroughly with dish soap, rinsed...

So I have an interesting situation. I have a twenty five gallon tank that's been set up since the end of June, call it six weeks. I just noticed it has a chip in the glass, presumably there from the beginning. This means a complete tank tear down, replacing it at the fish store and everyone gets...

I can't seem to find a straight answer for this one. Is it bad to use straight rodi on a planted tank? Right now, I basically mix the rodi with the "waste water" of the rodi unit. I figure it's not as bad as tap water, and it's leaving in minerals and certain nutrients for the plants. I know...

So I just got my rodi system from bulk reef supply today! It's pretty darn cool and it should be for almost $200. My only concern is I'm filling my freshwater tank and my saltwater tank with my new ro unit, for a total of 45 gallons. Pure water and waste water combined that's over 200 gallons in...

Can I use two coral life t5ho fixtures on my tank? I have a 25 gallon and each bulb outputs 24 watts, with two bulbs per fixture. I don't think 48 watts is enough so I was wondering if it was safe to put two on the same tank? Sent from my SM-G900V using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Simply put, what kind of corals can I have with this? Sent from my SM-G900V using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Where do I get the shelving found in this video? =D

My purple doty back has some white spots on him but I don't know if it's ich or possibly velvet. I have medicine on hand but I'm hesitant to use it unless I'm sure he's sick. They're not hard white spots, it's almost like it's in his skin, or scales if you will, so I'm wondering if it's...
