sad

I’m devastated. We were so excited we just got a brand new fire shrimp for our small nano tank. We have a pistol shrimp and my concern was if they would get along. Never even thought to ask my LFS if my snail would be a murderer!! How did this happen?! How did he catch the dang thing?! I’m not...

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...

I would love to hear about other people and their perspective or subjective opinion on what they think has been the hardest part of Reef keeping for them. Maybe it's the money, maybe it's the endless learning curve as we aren't all professional chemists or marine biologists. Maybe it's the...

Hey everyone, I need some help here because I am not sure what is going on. I’ve been in the hobby for 10 ish years and never had this happen. I have a 30l Nuvo that had around 6 fish in it. Vanderbilt chromis, midas blenny, exquisite wrasse, green chromis and an ornate wrasse. All have died...

Hello everybody. I haven't been on here for a while and that will also show with my tank. I have had the bubble algae issue for a long time. Probably 1 year with the aiptasia issue. I would go in and remove as much bubble algae and pulsing xenia as I could and I would forget about the tank again...

After acting weird almost all week, my LTA named Ajax died earlier today. I got home at about 4:00 to see that he had started shredding up so I had to siphon him out. Felling pretty low right now, he was my first anemone.

Sad day, today. I was cleaning my tank and apparently, I cant see because I killed my masked goby. Was wondering why my snails came out from the sand and when I looked around. Crab already chomping away at the goby. I cried. Worst of all had the fish for about 24hrs. Can't find my Rainford goby...

Ordered a tailspot blenny from Salty Bottom Reef Co., but it was dead on arrival. When I opened the box in low light conditions it did not look alive. It was floating upside down and had no visible respiration. Despite this, I know the shipping process can be traumatic, so I followed normal...

Last week I noticed a small strange mark on my one spot fox face that I have been keeping an eye on ( I tried to get a picture for 15 minutes and can't). Since then, a 2nd and 3rd mark has appeared, which appear to be bite marks or scratch marks. I haven't added a new fish in almost 2 years...

Now unfortunately I didn't take many photo but I did take some.... So let's begin.... One of the best looking tanks in my own opinion was the Red Sea 130D. Its curved glass was all but stunning while lit up with sooo awesome PCs. Sorry LEDs… T5s grow coral like mad! I have been wanting to get...
