Hello, I’m looking to start stocking my 60 gallon breeder with fish and inverts.The tank has been setup for about 2 months now and I used live ocean rock from kpaquatics to start it up. My favorite fish to have in the tank would be a foxface rabbitfish. I know that the recommended tank size is...

Hi All, I am thinking of adding a sea cucumber, the Holothuria Hilla kind, to my 50g tank. Tank is half a year old and when I first ordered the CUC kit, I didn't want to include a cucumber that according to internet is wrongly considered as a nuke bomb. I read that they are very efficient in...

Hi all, I have a babylon snail that is upside down since 2 days. He is alive because whenever I try to right him or burry him, he goes back to the upside down position. I have other babylon snails that are acting normally. I have hermit crabs which didn't eat him yet, so he is not sick or dead...

Hi all, I added 2 Trochus to my tank a week ago. Both are coming from the same tank of the supplier and got acclimated together. However, one of the Trochus seems to be not moving or eating. He is alive as I can see him extend some parts of body parts but his mouth is not. When I move him...

so I’m working on plumbing a display refugium/macro algae tank into my main display tank which is a 135g. My main question is when can I add macros, and when should I add a clean up crew. Specifically snails, conchs, and sand sifting starfish to keep the sand bed turned over. Side note, I’ve had...

Hello, I have a Fluval Evo 13.5 that has been set up since early October of last year. It has had a big algae problem since the beginning and I’ve had different inverts during this time. Currently, I have a tuxedo urchin and three electric blue hermit crabs. The urchin is pretty small but there...

There was a comment in today's QOT (question of the day) that has me wondering: Do you quarantine or otherwise inspect/dip/etc your clean up crew? I've never done this before because I assumed whatever comes with them is nothing I could get rid off. I purchase from places I trust, and hope for...

I have a new cycled tank, I recently put a pair of clowns in and they seem to be very happy, I am feeding them a mix of Mysis shrimp and pellets. Question is, would it be a good idea to add a few carnivorous snails right now? I don't have any algae yet so I don't plan to add any algae snails...

Hi everyone! I've got some snails that evidently are pretty hard to come by these days so I figured I would offer some up for sale here. I've had these snails in quite a few systems over the years and currently have them in both my display, and my frag tank. If I had to guess, I'd say I've had...

Anyone know where to buy nano conchs (strombus maculatus) I don’t see it on ipsf any more Thanks !

Tank is 4 month old, YWG and Clownfish, black foot trochus snail and 3 hermits. About a month ago I bought 2 turbos, 2 nassarius and a nano conch. Drip acclimated how I always do, 1/1.5 hours emptying half of the water out each 30 mins. As soon as I add them to the tank, the conch is flipping...

I have not seen either of my turbo snails roaming around in a while. Well today I found a dead turbo with some sort of bristleworm in the shell. The other turbo is now missing and so is one of my two trochus snails. Below is a photo of the worm which I beleive might be a fireworm? Is there any...

Hey all! im currently restarting my reef tank, and I’m trying to choose a suitable cuc list to slowly add. It’s a Waterbox 20, I’ll attach pics of the scape. The current occupancy of the tank will be my two clowns and a coral banded shrimp, and I plan to add a lawnmower blenny eventually. for...

Hi Everyone, I've got my Macro display tank up and running and so far so good. I have one tail spot blenny in there and so I figured I might need a small CUC to help out but I have noticed my Banded Trochus liked to nibble on the pom pom which is not ideal. Wondering what you all would...

Our 125 frag tank has crushed coral gravel as substrate, chunks are about 10-12mm in size. Sand sifters are probably a no go, what can I put in here that will clean the substrate? I am unable to gravel vacuum it without taking all of the egg crate out which houses our frags. Pics of the algae.
