I've noticed a couple of my fish becoming really sick - white gills and cloudiness around the eyes. I immediately tested the water and here are my following params: SW: 1.026 pH: 8.7 Nitrates: 5ppm (I had just done a 25% water change) Nitrates: 0 ------------ I panicked when I saw how high my...

I've seen some pics of green Wrasses' before but this has unusal brightly colors fins that I didn't see in other pics. Also, he's incredibly aggressive to hermits - he's already picked three or four up, shaken them out of the shells and eaten them. He'll also 'tail-slap' the large turbo snails...

Can someone help me identify the following?

Can anyone help with this guy? He's in love with my diatoms and can scrape it off the rocks - I can even see the scrape marks from where he's eaten. Questions: 1) What type of Blenny is he? 2) Can I get more of him in the same tank or are they territorial? 3) What is the primary/ideal diet?

27 clowns in the same tank 27 months~Thread of the Month - Reef Central Online Community

I have two clowns in my tank, a maroon percula and a smaller 'Nemo' brand clown. At night, the past couple of nights, I've noticed that the maroon will get sucked into the grill for the intake to the filters and just stay there. The first night, of course, I was horrified because I thought it...

So I did it... I was debating what/how/when to upgrade... I bought the Oceanic Tech Tank/Reef Ready system; 90g Display with 30g sump/built-in refugium. I'm so excited I could pee (but not in the tank). What's odd is realizing that my sump is bigger than the BioCube that I'm upgrading from...

Can someone help me identify what all this purple stuff is growing all over this rock? During the day 'the fur' comes out (bright green). I changed the LED lights to get different lighting effects for camera...

Anyone here have one of the new Fluval G6 (or G3s for that matter)? I've been running mine a month and it's been kinda amazing - but I don't know if I should switch out the cartridge or media for one of the other ones that Fluval offers.

Company bonus is in the bank and it's over a year since I've started my BioCube tank... looking to upgrade but now having a hard time deciding between all the options. I've done a search on the forums but don't see a lot of information on the Oceanics and was hoping someone could help? I'm...

My cardinal has some white strand hanging out from it's mid-section that just appeared this morning. It doesn't appear to be trying to get rid of it, but it's unusual. Has anyone seen this before?

I did a 20% water change yesterday morning but today realized that all my emeralds weren't out in front crawling around. I looked in the back and they were all dead, together. I had four emerald crabs - two had just molted a week ago - all seemed active and healthy but I'm confused what would...

I'm looking at migrating/upgrading from a BioCube 29g to a Red Sea Max 250 (65g). I currently have about four fish (no bigger than an inch) and a sizable clean up crew (four emerald crabs, four hermits, one lightfoot crab, four nessa snails, four turbos, three big snails who have big mouths...

I've run into the Hanna Multiparameter HI83200 bench test system. Easy Meters.com, Hanna instruments meters & more :: Catalog :: Photometers :: Bench :: HI 83200-01 2008 - Laboratory Bench Meter (115V) Does anyone have anything like this - along the lines of digital testing? I'm surprised that...

I upgraded my BioCube's pump to the Rio 6 to increase water flow and put a powerhead in and purchased the BioCube Protein Skimmer. I had been running the tank empty for about two weeks now (except for live rock) and everything was balanced out and near zero. I have not changed anything or...

Does anyone use anything fancy like this? Aquarium Tracking Software - AquarioGest Saltwater I was thinking of just putting together my own Excel book with some macros and coding but this looked pretty nice - especially the Atlas feature.

Last week we had a little shaker in the bay area - nothing significant but enough to feel. Made me realize - how do tanks handle earthquakes? Other than the obvious - make sure it's on a stable stand, secured against the wall, etc. What happens on the inside? My tank isn't setup yet, but I...

Hello All - I just purchased an Oceanic BioCube 29 and am starting my first voyage into SW tanking. There's a ton of information on this forum, which is also why I decided to join, and I was glad to see a bunch of others with some sort of BioCube setup. I've tried searching on some of my...
