Hi all! My two clownfish are now starting to fight because they both ended up being females which has forced me to get a second tank. I haven't decided where to put it yet but everything is in the mail. I still need to decide on a DIY or custom aquascape. Equipment: Catagory Name Tank...

Hi all! I was wondering how many of us like to watch our reefs from vacation/work/etc via security cameras? I love my pan, tilt, and zoom reolink E1 because I can check on two tanks with one camera. (Please excuse the dirty tank, I am away for business)

Hi all! I am considering jumping to a slightly larger tank with a proper sump, euro braced, external overflow, etc. Here is the parts list that I have put together so far: Catagory Name Tank CDA 36x30x24 euro braced external overflow Stand CDA Metal frame Overflow Undecided Return RFG...

Hi all! I picked up a yellow banded possum wrasse for my tank as I have given up on pink streak wrasses (I am 0 for 3 from different LFSs). The little guy was not acting well the first day but he is now swimming around and picking at my rocks. I have tried feeding frozen baby brine, algae...

Hi all, I have been struggling with this unknown brown snotty slime that has killed several gonis for over a month. It seems to grow on frag racks/rocks then grow over dead coral until it envelopes it. It’s a bit demoralizing having a year old talk go downhill despite mostly stable Alk/Calc/Mag...

Hi all! Just got a call while I’m at work that our power is out with no ETA. I usually operate my generator without help so I had to teach a family member how to operate and hook it up via phone. Luckily it decided to start on the 9th pull. My bodies of water are up and running but if I hadn’t...

Hi all! My inkbird is alarming and I’m stuck at work until 6pm. Current temp 74.8 set temp 78. Stocking includes zebra loaches, a pleco, various corydoras, American flag fish, pearl gouramis, and amano shrimp. How low can their temp drop before I need to call out and rush to buy a new heater?

Hi all! I have RGB led strips around my ceiling perimeter and I’m powering them via a Meanwell LSR350 but the stock psu fan is keeping me up at night. I found a replacement cover that holds a 120mm PC fan that’s 3D printable which will drop the noise level to near inaudible. Would someone be...

Hi all! I borrowed a microscope and was able to have my unknown red stuff ID'd as large cell amphidinium and ostreopsis, if not other types in addition. From my research it looks like I should run an oversized UV and dose bacteria to deal with the Os. Dinos. For the LCAs, sodium silicate dosing...

Hi all! I tested my tank's mag and its low, around 1200. I just tested the bucket I did a large WC with and it's mag is also low, below 1200. Reef Crystals is supposed to be 1450-1500ppm and that's usually what I test at. I will now test the rest of the buckets parameters to be safe. If they're...

I'm starting a support group for those of us that dedicate too much of our monthly budgets to this hobby. (/S) I'll start us off: Hi my name is rdriggett and I overstretched myself at Coral Farmers Market yesterday. Anyone else? @Apon gave me the idea for this joke thread.

Hi all, I've had my first frostbite clown since March and my LFS finally got more frozen frostbite clowns in stock. Betty (my clownfish) initially chased a mate out of the tank so I gave up on the idea until now. I added a 50% size frostbite clown and she is chasing him around relentlessly. I...

Hi all, I came back from picking up a frag and noticed my favorite Goni has skeleton showing where just two days ago it was lush with good PE. I dosed about 5ppm nitrate today but I don’t think that would affect it within hours. Params: Alk 10.5 Calc 460 Mag 1460 N 5-10 P 0 Salinity 1.025

Hi all, I'd like to show some generosity to a great club and offer up some free corals! Please be a supporting member otherwise they're $5 each. Birdsnet, septosa, montis, mushroom, and chalice all up for grabs in Sunnyvale.

Hi all! My Nicrew gravel vacuum is pretty useless for keeping my sand clean so I'd like to try a living approach. My LFS recommends a diamond sand sifting Goby. R2R recommends a conch. Which one of these is the better option for my 40G? I'm also open to other options if neither of these are...

Hi all! Recently I’ve noticed worms in my sand. Could anyone ID these worms for me? Sorry for the bad pictures. I’m praying they’re not bristle worms… Previously: Hi all! What's the best method of bristle worm control that can live in my tank? Stocking is: clown, perchlet, blenny, gramma...

Hi all! I'm visiting family for 2 weeks and my family will be taking care of all my tanks. Here's what I've written so far, I know I have a lot to add so please let me know what needs changing. This amount of work is fine for them. Fish Care Instructions Daily AM: Make sure all pumps are...

Hi all! I always aim for ethical keeping of SW creatures. My LFS just texted me offering an unknown type of pincushion urchin as a blue tuxedo alternative. Does anyone know which species this is so I can do some research before making a decision? Thanks in advanced!
