Hello, I have three tangs (hippo, yellow and kole) that have been in qt for 60 days. I was going to add them to my DT this week, but noticed by kole tang is developing a good size lump on his left side that runs vertically towards the back of him. I have been unsuccessful in getting a picture...

Hello, Anyone know what this is? It’s every where. I have been running GFO and everything is in check. I built an algae scrubber last week and it’s still clean. I tried uploading a video but it didn’t work. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This is the most expensive, rewarding, frustrating, I want to pull my hair out hobby I have ever got involved in. I set up my dream tank. Wired it and plumbed it so everything is neat and tidy. Took great pride in doing so. Started with dead, dry rock and sand. Set up a QT system. Did...

My wrasse is not doing well. He only swims in a vertical position and often is lying down and the back half of his body doesn’t move. I don’t want him to suffer but I don’t have the heart to end his misery. Any thoughts. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Grrr. So I added my flame angel to my DT after 30 days in Qt last night. Today he has two white spots that look more like parasites than ick. I cannot catch this little bugger to put him back in QT. Any thoughts? Hope the rest of fish are not doomed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi all, Anyone use or have thoughts on Ocean Nutrition frozen foods? I like the fact that it’s made in the US. I have tried Omega and PE Mysis. Is their formula one mix good and does that provide better all around Nutrition than just a mysis offering? Thank you Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hello, This is my second Reeflo barracuda gold in the last 4 months. Today I noticed this near the shaft. Not sure what this is and any help would be greatly appreciated. Not impressed with these pumps. Any thoughts on a pump that will handle 19 feet of head pressure (my sump is in the...

Hello, I have 3 fish in qt for about 40 days so far. Everything was going great until my hippo tang got a white spot on his head at around day 20. They have already been through prazipro for 7 days. So I added cupermine which killed my yellow tang. They have been through another round of...

Hello, I have 3 gen4 radions that I control through my reeflink, but my power is connected to my apex so I can shut them down due to temp issues. I want the power outlets to always be on unless the temp gets above 81. Does this programming look correct: Fallback ON Set OFF If Tmp > 81.0 Then...

Hi all, So the old adage go big or go home...... Well I went big on my first saltwtaertank. A 180 gallon 6' DT on the first floor and all the pump, sump, etc in the basement. All schedule 80 see photo. Yesterday was going to be the start of my 24 hour leak test. Suffice to say it is on hold...
