I was lucky enough to pick up a golden chalice yesterday for £15 (about $20) It's 7 inches by 4 inches and now my centre piece. What's your best coral bargain?

Hello. I managed to splash the PSU to my lights whilst doing some maintenance. I got an interesting electric shock when I plugged them back in. I'm currently drying the PSU out the best I can (submerged in a bag of rice with a fan blowing at it) I can't be the first person to do this, has anyone...

Sadly I can't post any pics. Over the last month my sps, serriatapora guttatus and green hystrix have been bleaching at the bottoms half. My alk is 9.2 Ca 430 Mag 1340 SG 1.025 Temp 26. My tank is 2 years old. My flow is from a gyre 130 and lights are a razor 180. My LPS is growing like crazy!

I recently started dosing and I think I may have done my maths wrong. I was maintaining my Ca and KH by using Kalkwasser in my ATO. It worked okay at keeping those levels up but it wasn't consistent due to differing levels of evaporation. I decided to leave out the kalk and start dosing. On...

My maroon clown started hosting my goniopora, which the goni did not like one bit. The clown was incredibly rough with it as the goni would close up as soon as contact was made. It's started to recede so I dipped it in seachems reef dip. It doesn't look good in this photo as there is plenty of...

Do you think a hydroponic lamp would be good as a sump light to grow cheato? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I was doing a water change tonight and noticed that the rowaphos reactor contained bright orange water!! What is that about? There are odd bits around the tank. I've taken it apart, cleaned it and put new media in. Any ideas what's gone on there? My filter sock is almost glowing orange Sent...

I've worked up this morning and my tank is cloudy. Today is water change day and when moving my turbo snail, I lifted it up and there are 2 smaller snails underneath it. It appears to have given birth! I've only had it a few days. My corals look huge today. Is it likely the cloudiness is due to...

I am starting up a QT tank after a new addition wiped out my tank some time ago. I am about to QT a single maroon clown. My initial plan was cupramine, full water change and then paraguard. I've read that maroon clowns are very sensitive to copper at any level. Cupramine contains copper....what...

Since I had to tear my tank apart to retrieve dead fish (cause still unknown) my tank has struggled. My LPS haven't looked great and I've had a diatom bloom, which I assume is from pulling everything apart. I have a small torch coral frag that had three heads and one has died off. My lobo has...

Is this cyano? Looks more like diatoms but the tank is over a year old. Any ideas? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I woke up this morning to feed my tank and none of the fish were visible in the water column. Only my blue lights were on so I waited for the whites to come on and still nothing. Finally my tang emerged and was feeding as normal. I found my clown fish on the sand bed, hidden and he's gasping and...

For those of you that use the taotronic/cheap Chinese LEDs, what power do you run yours at? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I added a flasher wrasse today and two hours later he is laying on the sand bed, alive but not moving. I've read they can hide for extended periods but is this usual? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I have been using a gyre 130 on my RS900 for about 2 months. I always found it to be pretty noisy but powerful. I came home today and it's near silent and so much more powerful. I did have it running at 100% but it's now on about 60%. Has this happened to anyone else? Sent from my iPhone using...

I'm going to The U.S. on holiday for two weeks. I have someone to feed my fish for me (and top up the RO res) but nobody to do a water change. I do a weekly 10%. Any tips for holiday preparation? I will have 40% mixing when I leave in case of any disasters when I'm away Sent from my iPhone...

I have just acclimated a new pink spot goby. All was going well until he made about half a dozen jumps to leave the rimless tank in about 20 seconds. I now have him in a breeding tank type thing within the main display. The poor thing is obviously stressed. Would keeping him in the sump for a...

Woke up to these in my sump. I have no idea what they are. They look tiny and hairy. Sorry about the picture Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

How do you guys clean your filter socks? I read that hydrogen peroxide is a good way. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I have a lovely tang and to supplement his diet I add nori. My clown fish and blue chromis go mad for it, I mean they love it! Is this common? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

My toadstool appears to be shedding a layer. Not too sure what this is. Does anyone have any ideas? Am - 0 Nitrite - 0 Nitrate - 0 Temp - 78 Salinity 1.025 75 gallon Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Can anyone clarify if this is a bristle tooth tang? That's how it was sold to me but saw another yesterday and it didn't look the same Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I have spent today upgrading my tank. This is easily the most stressful thing I have done in years. My old tank is gone and the new tank is in the same place but has a sump, and 35 gallons extra. I have now hit a problem. The new tank is taking forever to heat up (even thou I'm using two...

Like everyone else, I wish I had started started with a bigger tank. I am soon to be buying a tank with a sump. I have a few questions I was hoping you guys may be able to help with? :-) 1) Do I need a new sand bed? I have read the old one should be scrapped? 2) can I use some of the current...
