Hey everyone. I've been out of the hobby for about 2 years and I really wanted to get back in it. I used to have a 75 gallon. I am planning on setting up a 35 gallon this time around (36x12x18). I wanted to know if some of my old equipment would be too powerful. I have a JBJ ocean stream kit...

for filtration i use a Fluval 405 canister filter (only carbon, nothing else inside). i have the bubble magus skimer and i do use RODI water. i will check the other parameters when i get home

over the past 3 weeks, ive noticed that my corals are dying. i lost a huge christmas tree favia. 2 open brains, all my candy canes, and all my acans. i also lost one of my gonaporas and the other is dying. 2 of the 7 heads on my hammerhead arent opening either. i asked the local fish store to...

I've been feeding them love shrimp from the grocery store all week and I think it's helping, they get all fluffed up (like how they should look) after eating but 2 hours later it's back to normal

It looked like than for 3 months, then it got knocked over a couple of times and ended up with a hole in it, but it hasent fallen since and its getting worse

No, it was healthy for the first Three months that I had it. The picture is from last month I had no idea tat the brine/Mysis could harm them, that is probably the reason They are under 2 t5 (1 white 1 blue) The water parameters are Ammonia - 0ppm Nitrates - 0ppm Nitrites - 0.1 ppm Ph...

Ive had it for about 4 months and it been fine till 3 weeks ago, when it got a hole on the middle, most of the clams at my local fish store are like that anyways Sony didn't think much of it. Here is a pic of it at the time Today, it suddenly got worse. I don't have any fish or inverts that can...

I have 1 white, 1 blue, I had 3 blue 1 white but the other 2 does out last weekend, ( the brains weren't any better before)

They are about 6-7 inches bellow the water, and the lights are 8 inches off The tank

They are under t5 High output lighting. The water paramaribo are exactly how they are supposed to be but it's not the first time my test kit has made a mistake. I'll be going to my local fish store in about half an hour to get it retested there because for some reason mine is inaccurate. Therer...

I'll send the pic again

My brain coral won't open and they look all hard and haven't opened since I bought them last month. The water parameters are good and I target feed *brine and mysis everyday. Last week I started adding Aquavitro Fuel (ignites coral growth) and nothing changed. 2 days ago, I started feeding them...
