help needed

OK, so Lately I have been neglecting my tank a bit, and some zoas have kinda taken in some places where I have a clam. They have almost completely covered up the clam. Does anyone out there have any good ideas or methods how to trim back or kill the zoas without taking the rock out, or hurting...

Hey, so i finally got around to firing everything up today and the only thing that has let me down so far is the ATO. To narrow it down, the outlet from the ATO for the pump isn't powering the pump. Now i bought this off ebay from the US, it's a hydor ATO...

Hello everyone! First post ever on here so I'm sorry in advance if I have posted this in the wrong thread. Just give you a brief history of our fish keeping. Me & my partner decided we would love to start up marine keeping as a hobby, so off to the local lfs we went. We were brain washed into a...

So heres the thing. I just bought a baby (approx. 1") regal tang. gorgeous little thing, just started eating mysis/brine shrimp this week. The issue is that he has no caution whatsoever and keeps thinking every fish is his friend. The clownfish tolerate him to a point then chase him away, but...

First ever SW tank, I have not bought anything yet so I will very happily take suggestions. Thinking of starting with a 100 gallon acrylic tank (60in L 18in W 20in H). Will be a FOWLR tank, but will possibly add corals, etc. later on if at all possible. I am thinking of building my own stand...

Is someone able to explain to me what exactly is meant by the term "flux" when talking about LEDs? Google isnt helpng me very much.

Okay so this is it. The big push right before I upgrade from a 45g to a 225g DT and as you may imagine, I have a few questions. Most of them at least a roguh idea, but id like some feedback, criticisms and help please. For this post, seeing as i am trying to buy Cree LEDs, dimmable drivers, etc...

Hi guys very new to this so all help will be great. ok to start with my equipment, I'm only doing a very small nano tank so have a fluval spec tank, visitherm 25w heater , I have used carib sea live sand and fluval sea salt. The guy at the aquatics centre told me to use tap water and let it...

I am in the market to upgrade my tanks equipment and go more high tech. At present its a45g but i have an engineer coming around next week to see if the floorboards will take a 1400L system and making reinforcements as necessary. The point being i am after the automated/monitored tank equipment...

2 months away from my 350g setup arriving and already got an lfs to find me an achilles. I have since before i started wanted one of those and a flame angel/coral beauty combo but i habe learnt quickly its better to get your opinions and experiences than trust some LFSs. So then. Flame angel...

Okay, I will start by saying this isn't my tank. Mine is doing great. So, I haven't slept in close to 72 hours now. Circadian Rhythm disorder. Point being my head wasn't screwed on straight. Now to the problem. My friend has a 30L tank with Ocellaris Clowns in. Before you say anything, shes...

Hi everyone, heres the problem. I have a Malu Anemone who appeared healthy at the LFS, but i later remembered there is no white anemone but i have heard of some being a cream colour. He has been in my tank for almost 2 days and seems to have settled. I dont know what a "gaping mouth" looks like...

As a relatively new reefer, I am perhaps freaking out over nothing. But I would rather know than be ignorant. I have had the butterfly just over a week now. He appears to eat mysis and the odd bit of flake aswell as algae and is always very active. So the problem is, I have been at home all...

Hey all am new on here and i am having problems with my tank i have a 120 ltr tank with a few soft corals and and about 13kg of live rock the tank is about 9 months old and i am just getting on top of a hair algae problem i have a few corals in there and some seem to be doing fine whilst others...

Hello all, I am looking to tackle my first reef/saltwater tank. I've been doing alot of research and I know what I have to do to accomplish my goal. The only issue I am debating is my options for a protein skimmer....... I have the opportunity to get a AquaC Remora Pro for basically free from a...

So all of you have helped me out so much in the past.. And THANK YOU!!! Lately I have needed some help from you but haven't got any. I'll post a question, which should be easy for all you advanced reefers.. 80+ people will view it but no response. Maybe it's something I'm doing wrong.. Idk...

I have a large tank with a crushed coral substrate. I am now hearing that it was not a good idea to go that direction for a reef and fish tank. I have had advice saying to take out the crushed coral and put in sand. The tank has been going great for about 8 months and I do not want to break...

Ok. I am an idiot... I have a 2 week old 75 g salt fowlr tank. I cycled with live sand and cycled live rock from a pet shop. My levels on everything were good this weekend so I added 2 clownfish and 3 red leg crabs (I know probably too soon). 1 clown died the next day but honestly it looked very...
