I’m new to this hobby and have only had a saltwater aquarium for a couple of months. I have a problem, I can’t keep anything alive, I don’t know what to do. I think to give you guys an understanding of my problem. I started with two clowns after my tank was cycled. It didn’t take long before one...

Anyone know what these tiny bug/shrimp looking things are? They are all over this rock and under the coral. Are they good for the tank or are they about to kill everything in sight? Thank you!

The dilemma between the two sizes would be that I have about 55” of room to place the aquarium. With the 100 being 47” this leaves about 8” of space total, likely 4” for each side. This would essentially leave the side doors unusable and removing the sump if needed would have to be done through...

I have a fluval 13.5 gal that I’ve had for like 5 years and a clownfish in it for the last 3. He normally would swim at the top in the corner of the tank but recently has been sitting at the bottom near a rock that my pistol shrimp and goby have a tunnel under. And about a week ago I noticed...

Hey all, I woke up this morning to a sad day. Both my transparent goby and my clown, along with my camel shrimp & sea hare were all dead. That being said, all of my crabs (hermit & emerald) along with my turbo snails, my tubiflex worm & conch snail are all alive & seem to be doing fine...

Hey All, Would appreciate some advice. I've got a ~80G tank that i've had up and running for a few months. Couple of clowns, some snails, an urchin, and in terms of coral a hammer, an acan, and a mushroom leather. Chaeto in the sump (about baseball size). Feeding is liquid mysis + pellets. As...

Hey guys i got these clowns from lfs and one had what looked like popeye in one eye but jumped out of net when lady at lfs was bagging him up so i thought it was ok. Now the other has a cloudy right eye as well and im not sure what to do, is this brook, ich, or just popeye infection. How should...

Hey guys, I’ve been battling this algae for a few weeks now! Phosphate used to be at around 1ppm however I’ve brought that down now to a stable 0.25ppm. Nitrates have been sat between 10-20ppm. Which makes no sense as from what I’ve read the general consensus is that Dino’s is from low...

So it has not been a good couple of days, the tutorials I followed haven't worked, wasted a lot of time, effort and money, stressed the hell out of my poor fish and coral and rather than being back at square one I seem to be two steps back from where I started. Really considering throwing in the...

Just saw large amphipods munching on my healthy zoas. These zoas are closed for 3 days. Other heads are declining. I think amphipods iritate them then eats them when they're stressed. How to eliminate amphipods? I'm currently on fallow period since my fishes died due to ich. Thanks!

Hi I picked up these two at the weekend from my LFS. Was told both were Acan but after looking at some other pics struggling to say for sure if they are both Acans or if one or both might be something else like a lobo or scoly any help would be appreciated thanks to fine tune their care.

i recently left for a month long vacaton, and when i got back there was bubble algae coating every surface in the tank exept the glass. My thinking is it happened because of the little ammount of bubble algae before i left and the auto feeder that i had overfeesing. I removed all the algae from...

Hello, so I have a tendency of cutting off flow and filtration when I feed and I do a mass feeding for all things inside my tank. I have tidal 75 on my 20 long I find it provides enough flow for my corals and good filtration so I cut it on and I hear what sounds like the motor choking up so I...

Hey guys, so on Friday night I got a new flame angel and was going to put him in my 14 gallon brag tank which had my cleaner Gobi and my filefish in it so I had a new 90 gallon system that I decided I would pull the filefish out and put into the 90 gallon system before I added the flame angel so...

So I recently have gotten several new corals. One of the Alveoporas I got still hasn’t extended its polyps but still has its bright green color. Part of it looks like about 1/4 of it may have died off. I pulled it out today and use my seachem reef dip on it thinking maybe some type of pest was...

Hello, I’m hoping someone can. Please help me out with some advice. Friday I picked up a flame angel, and a bunch of invertebrates. The flame angel was said to be in copper and looked perfectly healthy when I got him. He was eating the next day and everything has been normal. I put him in a...
