How do you introduce new fish to an already established tank? Everything I try to add to my tank just doesn't stand a chance? It gets picked on by almost everything. Especially 2 large domino damsels. I know with freshwater if I move the gravel around and the ornaments it breaks up the...

Alright so I should lay out what we got instead of just harassing people. There's the 75 gallon, about 15g sump. Well, it's not really a sump I guess, just a fuge with a place to put the skimmer. The 75 has about 100 lbs of LR (about...), corner drilled to the under stand fuge. The fuge is...

Good Morning all, I am looking to add a couple of new fish to my 75 gal reef tank. Several months ago I lost almost all my livestock to a case of Velvet that was brought in with my new Kole Tang. Like I said it has been several months since I added the test fish (domino damsel). And all is...

This is probably the freakiest thing to me. It was about an inch long, and swam around. It was extremely fast, and it took about 40 pictures in order to get just these two below. For size comparison, you can see it next to a large turbo snail. it looks like it's resting on the glass, but it is...

Algae, algae everywhere on the rocks, on the glass, on the sand, on my snail!!! Comes in all colors and morphologies, lol what do I need to do to keep this under control? I do a weekly 5% water change, with rodi water, I use instant ocean sea salt which claims to be phosphate and nitrate...
