    Help! Urgent! Leak in bottom of tank

    We almost had a short circuit this morning! There appears to be a leak at the bottom of the tank where the tubing joins the tank. Question: can this be tightened up manually without risk? Or should this be handled professionally? Not sure if the sealing is a hardening one or not? Currently I am...

    ATO container for 90g - any suggestions?

    Hi all, Trying to find a new ATO container (about 10-15G) for my 90G tank. I trust it doesn't necessarily have to be acrylic but should be food-grade correct? Would something like this be ok or does it have to be a specific material...

    Back and...cycling!

    Hello MARSH community, I have been gone too long... not enough time, tank was (relatively) stable, until we had some issues (likely related to temperature changes), and eventually for other reasons, had to break down the tank. Been so long it seems I didn't even renew my membership! Better get...

    Return pump Mag 9.5 issues

    Hello all, My return pump has died and I just got a Mag 9.5 thinking it was a good choice for my 90G with ~20-30G sump. Well when I installed it, given it doesn't have a controller like the previous one, the flow is WAY too strong and the sump is emptying after than the return in the sump... I...

    Jebao return pump just failed on me

    Hi all, So I've been rather quite on the forum as things were going smoothly for a while now. My pump decided to wait for Harvey, street flooding and me not being able to go anywhere, to stop working! It did that once but I just had to unplug and plug back in to have it work. I think its rather...

    Disease or injury?

    Hi all, coming for some advice from the community. One of my favorite tank buddies, my one spot foxface, has just got a circular "wound" on his side. Just one, and I hadn't noticed it yesterday. I love this guy, and don't want him to be suffering or be sick. He's eating very well and swims...

    RBTA splitting question

    So my first RBTA split a few months ago. Now the "daughter" BTA has split into three couple days ago! How long should I wait before separating them (I dont think I will keep all four!) and can the bigger "mother" split again or are the "babies" more likely to split? I guess it may vary but just...

    6 months into the hobby and a step up!

    Hi all! I wanted to share with you some of the pictures from my new setup. I joined the forum a few months ago only when I got a 55G and decided, a bit unconsciously, to finally have a saltwater tank that I had always wanted (coming from freshwater 10 and then 20G). But I quickly realized that...

    Powerhead/wavemaker for a 90G

    I have just upgraded from my 55G to a 4ft 90G and am thinking to replace my current circulation pumps (Hydor Koralia evolution 750 (750 gph); Marineland MJ400 (Max gph 500)). One reason I wanted to replace the pumps is to actually have one unique powerhead on one side of the tank without a cable...

    Splitting RBTA

    Hi all, I have had my RBTA for a couple months now and a few days ago it started moving and then decided to split! How fascinating to watch for a beginner reefer :) Now, the 'daughter' decided to move under the rock and then the two nems moved back close to each other. They are eating well and...

    New posts/threads

    Hi there, The posting status of members/guests is not very clear on the forum, nor is the status of of a guest either (i.e. it was not obvious at all that you need to be a member of MARSH). Anyway, I have been able to post new threads but can no longer do this in the WTS forum. Is this because...

    Sick angel, what to do?

    I'm very sad and feel powerless today: A few days ago, I was observing my coral beauty going up and down in one corner of the tank close to the skimmer I have there, trying to hide sort of but since he's pretty palyful I thought this was a new game... Back after a three day trip (where fishes...

    Goby where are you?

    Hi all, I have introduced a diamond goby to my 55g about 10 days ago. He kept hiding for the first three days and then after I was reassured to see the sand moved around all over, he peeked out of one of the rocks a couple times. Since then, no sign of him... Are these gobies used to get out...
