Hello, I've never seen Brook or Velvet before (in person) but today I noticed this spot on my scopas tang in QT. It is in a QT observation tank (no copper) with a small coral beauty and a small lawn mower blenny. Other than what shows here it's happy and eating well. Any feedback is greatly...

Hey All, Thx for taking the time to read. I recently did a full change out on my RODI system. Admittedly it was over due but PRE change TDS was fluctuating between 3/4. That said, I did a full change out. It's the 150 gallon system from BRS. Since changing the system out I can't seem to get...

So I read the thread below (Alk Question) but my issue seems to be the amount of Mag I'm burning thru. I'm dosing Aqua Forrest 3 part and I've finally got my numbers to around standards. The tank is primarily LPS and SPS and is finally doing OK to good/healthy/seeing small growth. I am however...

All, Need to hear a general consensus of sorts. I have a tank (30L) that I got for free with a stand so zero complaints. However it has started a slow leak. It is one of my main frags presently. My question is has anyone ever seen a tank bust a seam and up and split and flood ? or do they...

Hey All so I too am starting a new build which has been on hold for awhile. I’ve had the tank for just over a year now and now am approaching finally getting it wet. Like many others here I was essentially waiting for the mancave to be finished (walls, flooring, ceiling etc) and waffled back and...

Has anyone ever used plain old RODI (or even tap for that matter when aquascaping with Marco E-400? I'm outta the solution which orig came with the kit but I still have plenty of the mortar? Thanks !

Hey All, Looking for some advice here (my apologies on the novel). Starting a new tank build. Finally got myself a big boy tank (at least for me) all you 9000+ gallon guys insert chuckle here . I’ve been at the hobby (marine at least) for about 2.5 years now and I’m guessing I know just...

HELP !!!! Just found 3 of these in my tank and saw a 4th flow by in the current caught 3 so far.

Figured I'd pass it along. Apologies if someone has already posted it. Hope it works on a greater scale? https://nypost.com/2019/08/26/lab-grown-coral-breakthrough-could-save-americas-reefs/

Hello all, Recently picked up some fish and placed them in a second "hack" tank I keep in the basement (it's coming up on a year for ths tank). Presently it has some long time healthy clowns but segregated as the two bigger pick on the smaller. They have been there since early Juneish...

Whatever this is it throws off tentacles when it gets pissed off. It's the brown shell looking thing at the front of the tile. I'm likely gonna scrape it off but figured I'd ask just the same. Thanks in advance.

Hey all, Just saw this guy in my tank. A crab of some sort but should I be concerned ? Any opinions would be appreciated. You'll likely need to zoom in. He is at the bottom of the rock. Funny if you look at the photo a few different ways he looks like he has a menacing face on his shell LOL...

So I put 3 Chromis into my tank last night and everything seemed fine, watched them for a bit they seemed fine schooling swimming in the top part of the tank, etc, they didn't eat at feeding time but there was poop in the drip bucket so I thought they genuinely might not be hungry. I fed the...

Quick FYI to all in BRS'rs in Eastern MA. So Sears in Burlington, MA (Burlington Mall) is closing their doors. I waked thru the store today and since Reefing now dominates every decision I make in life (LOL) I figured I'd pass along they are also selling all racks and storage units...

Hey All, Sorry to hear of all of the tank issues of late. Had one myself. Came home to see the carpet all wet something funky happened with my ATO. Water somehow got into the electrical and cause some problems. I’ve rectified since. Hoping this is a quick one. Looking for some feedback on RODI...

Hello All, So I thought my tanks were ready, I dipped and placed a duncan and some GSP in my tank and less than a week later the duncan seems to be just OK but the GSP is (I'm guessing) dead. Bummed had high hopes hearing GSP was hardy. Well if anyone can kill it it's definitely me !! LOL...

Hey All, Looking to get some opinions on on testing kits, Nano skimmers and Thermometers. (Already upgraded my light to the AI Prime HD) For kits my intent is to keep (try to ) both fish and coral. With that said do I need to get both a Saltwater and Reef kit ? Nano's Are they worth it ...

Hello All, I feel like a noob all over again. So a bit about me, I've kept freshwater AQ's for quite some time and after my last fresh tear down I took a break. I had the tank for about 10 years and ran into some leakage and algae under the silicon seals. Decided to take a break in general...
