    Rtn?

    Rtn or just the under side of coral not getting light? I've honestly been neglecting the tank since work has been so crazy lately. Everything else seems to be doing fine.

    Dead 6 line wrasse

    Came home from work today to a dead 6 line in my rocks. Not sure how it died. It always came out and ate when I fed the tank and grazed the rocks constantly. I added a small purple tang last night but not sure if that's who to blame. The last time (3-16-21) I checked my parameters they were...

    Wrasse options

    I noticed a couple flatworms in my tank last night and I was gonna try the natural route before resorting to more extreme measures. I really like yellow coris wrasses but I've read they can nip at clams. I have one clam right now but plan on adding more. Has anyone heard of or experienced yellow...

    Early morning, delicious afternoon.

    1am came early, should be worth it though. Got a small brisket (10lbs pre-trim) and a pork butt on the pit. Usually wrap briskets in foil but gonna try paper this time. Hopefully it turns out good, either way it's gonna get eaten. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

    Sand bed depth

    Setting up my 125 to cycle and right now I have a sand bed of about 1" across the tank. Will 1" be enough or should I go deeper? Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

    Algae ID

    Have a couple spots of this algae popping up in different areas of the tank. I know I have gha but I'm asking about the thicker single green strand. Thanks! Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

    Nightster's mixed 40b to 125g upgrade

    Well I guess it's time, long winded post so bare with me! I have been in the hobby for a few years, took a break, then got back in. My 40b has been on idle for 6 years, I was basically doing the bare minimum to keep my clownfish alive. Using tap water for top offs with out dechlorinating. Not...

    Clownfish eggs?

    I noticed my pair swimming in their "spot" and they were picking at these white spots on the silicone. Are these eggs? Not trying to breed them bc I know it's a process. Just wondering if they finally mated after being together for over 6 years, or maybe this is the first time I've noticed...

    Caribsea Bahama Oolite in mixed reef tank

    So I bought 100lbs of this Bahama oolite sand and didn't realize how small the grains were. I plan on setting up a mixed reef tank with most of the flow in the upper 1/3 of tank. Am I going to have a problem getting it to stay and not blow around? I need about 40 more pounds of sand to reach my...

    To catch a cleaner shrimp

    Anyone have any tips? It's pretty smart and won't let me catch it with a net. Thought about trying the bottle method but honestly I think it'll figure out the way out. I really like it but it keeps stealing food from my lps corals. Time for it to go. Fish traps actually work? Sent from my...

    Should I move my powerhead?

    Picking up a couple sps frags this weekend and wondering if I should move my mp10 to a spot to provide better flow for them. Everything in my tank is currently happy with the flow pattern but I know the sps won't get what they need in my tanks current state. I shipped my older non functioning...

    Mp10 in 40b

    I have one Mp10 in my breeder, mostly lps & few softies. I can't seem to get my flow right. Either it's too much for the lps or not enough to reach the other side of the tank. If I turn it up my lps kind of closes up, will they eventually get used to it or do I need to get another mp10 for the...

    Cycling dry rock

    I'm currently in the process of building my 125g and was wondering if I should buy a tote and cycle the rock before I get everything done. I still need some equipment and not completely done with the stand, and I'm not exactly sure how long it'll take before my setup is ready. Is there any...

    Tomini Tang in love

    So I finally got my gel filters for my wyze cam and once I got it all set up my Tomini has been in love with it. Constantly swimming in front of it. Was funny at first but now it makes it hard to see anything else! Idk why all of sudden it's smitten, maybe something to do with the orange filters...

    White spec on clownfish

    Noticed a single white spec on my midnight clown yesterday. Not exactly sure how long it's been there. Any idea if I should be worried and take measures or give it a couple days? Acting normal and eats like a pig. Haven't tested my water yet, and won't be able to as my wife and I are leaving the...

    Wyze camera filter

    I had an extra indoor wyze cam and set it up next to my tank but everything is so blue. I just got the icecaps filters for my phone and I don't really want to hang one of those in front of the camera. Any other suggestions on a filter I can mount on the cam to filter out some of the blue? Maybe...

    First batch of saltwater

    Got my first batch of saltwater mixing in my mixing station. Never had one before, will be nice to come home to 65 gallons of water ready for water changes tomorrow. It goes through my carbon bottle first then the 5 stage rodi. Left tank is saltwater and right tank is just rodi. Stole the design...

    RO/DI water storage

    Since I'm diving head first back into the hobby I decided to set up a mixing station in the garage. I got some plastic water storage tanks but they previously held bleach, will this be an issue? I pressure washed both of them out but worried about leaching. I really want to use these since I...

    cleaner shrimp and pistol shrimp

    Ok so I got a ywg and I'd like to get a pistol shrimp to pair him up with. Only thing is I already have a cleaner shrimp. So I guess my question is will they be friends or enemies?
