    Hey everyone. My new tank (10 days old, cycled for about 6 weeks prior) is 10 gallons, and is populated with 5 hermits, 2 peppermint shrimp, 1 snail (I had really bad luck with snails), two softies, and a yellow-belly damsel. The hermit crabs and snails went in first, and then my damsel, and...

    Hello. I have had my tank up and running for a while. It is a 40g cube. I have a Clown, baby Blue Hippo Tang, and a Royal Gramma. Everything was running smoothly up until I bought a blue hippo tang (not sure if this is the cause of the issues yet) and introduced him to the tank. I did not have a...

    Hey guys, I just setup a fowlr tank that I'm later going to transition to a reef tank. The water is cloudy and it has been for almost a week. What I did was mix salt with the water in the tank then dumped the sand in (I rinsed until clear). The water was murky so I ran my filter hoping it...

    Ok so I have been battling GHA for a while. I blame it on not cooking my dry rock before setting up. Tank is 5 months old and 3 months post cycle. I scrubbed the rocks free of severe GHA with a toothbrush and added a large amount of fresh GFO to my reactor. Then...the water went very cloudy...

    I just yesterday had a random issue of having super cloudy water. I don't know what has caused it. I assume its a bacterial bloom. I've recently started dosing my tank with Red Sea's Reef Energy (coral food). maybe this caused a nutrient spike and is allowing a booming bacteria population?? I...

    Maybe this is nothing but... I added a large leather toadstool to my 24 gallon tank yesterday and did a 1 gallon change with r/o water (it did look cloudy). I am having trouble with my "intelligent" light so it's been on weird over lighting cycles. Now the water is cloudy. Brownish ring on the...

    rookie mistake Guys and Gals, I bought a used 130g tank with corner overflows with a new 50g external fuge.I plumbed it myself. So In order to check the water tight integrity of all the plumbing and tank I wanted to fill it up and run it under pressure before putting anything in. Everything...

    Hello! I'm new to the saltwater tank hobby, and I am cycling my first tank!. The cycle is now almost complete after almost 6 weeks, but when my skimmer arrived and I installed it, the water turned cloudy and it has been like that for about a week now, and it doesn't seem to be the aragonite...

    My cycle has been going for about 2.5 weeks now. I have 10 pounds of live rock and 25 pounds (give or take one pound) of dry rock. A seasoned veteran in Saltwater reef tanks suggested I put in some raw shrimp to jump start my cycle. This person is an old friend so I trust him. Well I put...

Last month I got my RO/DI unit and have since done 4 water changes and 8 freshwater top offs. Since getting the RO/DI I have added a neon green bubble tip anemone, which will later be moved...

    Ok so my water turned a year old and my tank 4 months. I have had horrible algae in the current 55 for most of the time I've had it. I have a skimmer that hasn't really worked and a sock that didn't change a thing. It has been cloudy for months! The fish all seem fine though. I really don't know...

    I just added Fiji Mud to my refugium as a booster but I did not turn my pump off. It instantly clouded my tank. I let it sit with everything off for 2 hours but I still can't see in my tank. Will this harm my fish or corals? Is there anything I should do? Thanks for any advice.
