I apologize for the image quality, but I noticed today that my Rainford goby is missing the webbing of one of its pectoral fins. The other side is normal, and I don't see any inflammation. It's eating normally. Is there anything I should do beyond keeping an eye on it? The most aggressive...

Cool project! And I like your cat :) How many tanks do you have at this point?

I like how they are all facing the same direction!

This looks amazing!

Welcome back!

Wow, your BioCube is totally geared up! Mine is...not, lol. Good luck with getting corals in and running again! What kind of corals are you planning to grow?

I can help with setup and cleanup! Maybe running coral (although it sounds like you already have enough people to help with that) or registration? PS: do you have a link to any old threads or anything that explain how the event works/what happens? I've never been to a frag swap before.

Welcome, Jozy! The one thing I would suggest, in addition to all the other great advice you are getting, is to check and make sure what you have is truly hair algae and not bryopsis. You can find pictures online, but bryopsis is ferny, and most clean up crew members won't touch it (including a...

Congrats on both the rescue operation and the lovely tank!

I'll have a look for it, thanks! I think my Rainford goby has the smallest mouth out of my fish, so I'll see if I can get him eating it.

Hmm, anecdotal but I feed frozen every day and have no phosphates. I have to dose them. I was told that feeding dry food would increase them, which is why I'm looking into brands my fish will eat. In my opinion, being new to saltwater but not animal husbandry, a species appropriate diet is...

Hmm, I've been hearing good things about the TDO pellets but I have a strict "no wheat in the fridge" rule, hahaha. Do people really keep this stuff in the fridge? I've been feeding brine shrimp vs mysis just because a few of my fish have tiny mouths (Yasha goby and Rainford goby), but maybe...

My tank after the Bryopsis melted away! I'm on day 13 of fluconazole and it's nearly all gone. Back to dosing phosphate I guess since it's still at undetectable levels. I need to glue a few of these frags back onto the rocks - they got ripped off during manual removal of the algae and I...

They prefer frozen brine shrimp, but I'm also trying to get them to eat pellets (New Life Spectrum Probiotix)

Does anyone feed these to their fish? I want to feed a wider variety of foods, but my saltwater fish are very picky and won't touch anything that floats. Thinking of trying these gel foods, since they seem to have high quality ingredients. They are marketed for freshwater, but I don't see...

LOL! That's a bit more concern than I would like to have. I think I'm set on them being across from each other on different floor joists.

If you are open to a fish that might be reef safe or might pick at corals a bit, have you considered dwarf angels? Angelfish are so pretty!

FluxRX is the same active ingredient, fluconazole, and it's working great for me. It comes in a powder form rather than a capsule, which makes dosing small tanks a little easier IMO. No loss of any fish, corals, or inverts (I have shrimp and snails too - no deaths/weird behavior), just the...

I see a number of members on here with larger tanks - do you have them on the ground floor? I'm asking because I'm starting to get worried about my planned aquarium upgrade. Right now, I have a 40 gallon breeder freshwater tank set up in my living room with a 16 gallon BioCube reef next to it...

Whoa, those are both some beautiful tanks!
