Hey everyone i am dealing with some higher levels of nitrates then I would like. They seem to be holding around 10 lately and I am not sure why. I started a refugium about two weeks ago in a separate 10 gallon tank that feed my existing 50 gallon sump. I have a 4" sand bed and some chaeto in the...

Hello all. I have not posted here in a while life has been very busy. I have a 265 gallon saltwater tank setup. It has been set up as a fowlr tank for about 9-10 months with just a few fish. Now I have some time again to expand my tank. I only have two current orbit lights over the tank I think...

I just read an article on msn this morning about Zoas putting off a palytoxin that can be dangerous and has hospitalized multiple people. I knew they had some poisonous property but didn't know it was that bad. I will not endanger my family with my hobby. Anyone know more about this? Sent from...

So my stand is built and the tank is cleaned up. I am starting the plumbing and have my first question. The tank is 31" deep and has two overflows. I am wondering how deep I should have the overflow pipe set. I have about a 5" drop in water height in my 90 I don't know if I should go more or...

I am going to look at a 265 gallon tank tomorrow and would like some initial input. If I buy it I will have many more question but just needed some initial advice. The tank has two overflows and a sump and a large fake coral insert. I already have a 100 gallon fish and coral tank and want to set...

I recently got a sand sifting starfish for my 100 gallon tank. I have about a 4-5 inch sand bed and thought it would make a good addition. Now that I have been reading more about them it seems like it is almost impossible to keep them and that they starve in almost any tank. My tank has been up...

I have a 100 gallon tank and have a few fish (kole tang, two clowns, coral beauty, diamond goby, and a neon dotyback). I just got a six line wrasse yesterday cause I heard they will take care of bristle worms which I feel I have to many of. Anyways this morning I noticed my neon dotyback is all...

I am sorry this is the best picture I have so far. I found this somewhat large worm the other day and have no idea if it's harmless or a major problem. I have a bunch of small redish worms that have white bristles and didn't think much of them after doing some research but this one seems to be a...

I found out a while ago my kole tang had white spots on him. I used a kordon ich attack for a few weeks and he seems completely better, BUT now I have tons of the stuff in the picture growing in my tank. The two might not be related but it seems to happen when I started using the ich attack. Can...

I have a Kole tang I got a week ago. I noticed today he has a few white spots on him. His one fin and a few on his body maybe a dozen spots. I'm not sure what it is for sure or what to do. My tank is about three months old and I have 5 other fish besides him that don't seem to be effected at...

Sorry the pictures are not the best but I just noticed with my new led blue light that this thing glows orange. The pictures won't show that. I also noticed if startled this thing closes up and hides. I have no idea what it is it came not the piece of live rock I got. Can anyone help me? Sent...

I bought two fire fish gobys (which I guess was a mistake). I thought they would be ok since I have a 90 gallon tank but they are fighting and have both lost parts of there fins. Is there anything I can do other than separate them or get rid of one Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I bought some new live rock, and some snails, and noticed this on the back of my tank. I'm planning on having a reef tank, so is this something I should get rid of or is it ok? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

First, thanks you all for your help with my first salt tank. I just ordered some lights for my tank (again thanks for the help on choosing the right ones). Now I feel ready to start adding a clean up crew. I would love some suggestions on what to start with and how many. All my levels seem...

I currently have a nova 1129 light. It's a two bulb 48" high output t5. I know I need more light than this for a reef tank I just dont know should I add another light or just get rid of the one I have a buy a new one? Any suggestions? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I just started my first saltwater tank. It's a 90 gallon tank. I have added about 60lbs of live rock and a mix of live sand and regular sand bout another 50 lbs. I have been checking the ammonia for a week now and it hasn't gone above 1 ppm. Is my tank not cycling or is it done already? Could...
