    Kactoily Monitor

    This monitor came up in my feed. I am not in the market for one, but a quick search seems to have positive reviews and a good price point. Does anyone have experience with one of these? https://kactoily.com/products/kactoily-6-in-1-wireless-aquarium-pond-monitor?variant=47223752851749

    Lionfish Challenge

    Saw this on Reef Builders. Love the idea to involve the public and make it a competition while also helping with an invasive species. Very cool! https://reefbuilders.com/2023/10/27/lionfish-challenge-removes-30000-lionfish-from-florida-state-waters/

    How do you clean your seams?

    Is anyone worried about continuously hitting their seams with an algea scrapper? I the tunze with the metal blade attached. Have been using it for years and it is great at getting any algea off the glass, even coraline. I hesitate to use it at the seams. I have heard both it will damage the...

    My favorite Nem

    Honestly these pictures don't even do this justice. The colors are way cooler in person. Some of the tentacles have this amazing swirl on them. I don't know the name of it, but the colors go from green to orange to like a pink/purple.

    Just looked inside my mixing station...

    My tank hasn't been doing great and I can't seem to find the culprit. Every test I do, from salifert to Hanna to ICP comes back right where it should be. I looked inside my mixing station for the first time and saw this. I have used tropic pro for the most part. Could this be a problem and its...

    5 Stage RODI Question

    I have a Spectrapure 5 stage that I have been using for the last year in a half. It has 2 stages of DI. When I look at other 5 stages, they have two carbon blocks and 1 DI. I'm sure their is no "wrong" way, but what is everyone else running on a 5 stage? My thought is with color changing DI, it...

    Fry survival in fuge?

    My clowns lay eggs literally every other week. I never do anything and assume they all just get eaten. BUT today in my fuge I spotted this guy. Could it be a baby clown? Will he survive?

    Pest?

    Its mighty small, so not sure if it can be identified. Thinking about just chopping it off the plug. Any idea what it is?

    Remove center stand brace

    I have been considering changing out my sump so I have more room in my stand. In order to do that I would need to temporarily remove the center brace in my stand. I think if I prep it would only be removed for 30 mins then I could re install. Has anyone done this before? I would rather not empty...

    Corals are amazing

    Like 8 months ago I had a mini tank crash and lost a lot of corals. Since then the tank has bounced back and never looked better. However, I had some coral skeletons I had just left in the tank that I thought were completely dead. Turns out they still had life left! Wish I didn't remove some of...

    Black dots on yellow tang

    I tried to get a picture, but you can't see the black dots. I can see that they are on top on the outside of the body. At first I thought nothing of it, but its been a week and they haven't gone away. Can't tell if he has more or less of them. Anyone have this issue before? Like I said, can't...

    Clam help

    I bought this clam at ffm this year and everything seemed to be doing great until a couple days ago. I noticed it not open as much. Then it would randomly open and close which it really never did in the past. Now the mouth seems open a lot more than previous and the mantle more receded. I...

    Slombardi Mixed Reef

    Hey all- I wasn't on this forum when I set up this tank, but now it just turned 1 so I figured I would start now! I set up this tank when I bought my house (I am in Woburn). I had a few other smaller tanks in my apartment that were set up, so I transferred some of the rock/fish/corals and did...

    Who uses an auto feeder?

    I have an Eheim auto feeder. Bought it for when I go on vacations, but was thinking of using it to feed a little bit throughout each day. Does the food go "stale" if I were to use in continuously? How often should the flake/pellet be replaced?

    Powerhead in Refugium?

    Does anyone use a powerhead in their fuge? I have 10-15x flow through my sump, however if you just looked at the fuge you wouldn't know it. It looks basically still. I have caulerpa that is growing at a decent rate, but I also have been using a maxijet pump that runs when my fuge light is on for...

    Adding T5 fixture

    I have never used T5's before, but I am looking at getting one of these hybrid fixtures to help with shading from my single XR30. While a second XR30 would be nice, this Aquatic Life hybrid fixture is more in my price range. My question is - what should I get for bulbs?
