Tank is in Long Island and we are in NNj (not ideal) and maybe super expensive but looking for options. Thanks for points on the aptasia, I was thinking boiling water bath first and then vinegar. Vlad’s point on Berghia was my last thought. I had a lot of aptasia in my 14 a few years ago and...

Ok so I’m considering an IM ext 170, slightly used at 1 yr old. Consideratons to think of with a tank this size? Does anyone know a company that moves tanks in the tri-state area? Going to be going from a basement down to a basement, not sure I want to take this on with 500lb plus tank...

I too continue to be at wits end with gha and now latest a fluorescent green/red flat algae on sand which comes up with turnkey bastet but back every am. I used reeflux rx on the gha 3x and almost eliminated after a near year battle since tank start in January 25’ trying blenny’s, angels, cup’s...

All the petcos in nnj are hurting, I miss fish town USA! Need a new independent.

Maybe a dumb question but since these rocks have been in the tank since February, added Dr Tim’s bacteria then as well as other things noted, waited about a month before adding the clowns, haven't they gone through the cycle process, i don’t understand why pulling them changes that? Is it a...

Have an abundance of baby snails in my 14gallon for some time now, good or bad?

Thanks all for the tips. Rock was from another member who broke down another’s tank but it was all dry. I brushed the dead stuff I could and soaked it in some old tank water but I’m sure I didn’t do a great job as prob too excited to get rank going. Going to try a sea hare next before more...

Water is the Petco imagination 5 gallon pacific water, not sure if you mean I should be testing that for phosphates or other water parameters before adding?

Thanks all for the tips. Absolutely Fish has a few sea hare’s so I think that will be my next step and then if no go will have to try the lights out for a few weeks, I’ve only done a couple days at a time, and then maybe onto chemicals after that if need be but trying not to. I feed pellets...

32 g bio cube after many months of battling this green hair algae problem I am officially asking for help. Recent pics attached. I think I have tried all but chemicals and today after many many tests of zero phosphates I see a 4ppm (yes 4ppm not 0.40ppm) phosphate reading. I also just lost my...

Ok so my black clowns have been hanging for a couple years in my 14g biocube. Added a new zoa this summer and been noticing they have been all around it and now they are sleeping on it, hanging and playing like it’s an anemone. Are they just clowning around, having babies, random?

Interested if any chance, I’m close in 07481. Anything I can trade?

Interested in rbta if still available..easy I’m in 07481 too!

Sorry if I’m not following, so you think the angel was sick and the clown perished due to the angel? It was a Petco (Ramsey) purchase. I ensure I don’t introduce their water to my tanks but I do get fish at petco’s especially this one was such a beautiful fish. Oddly enough I can’t find any...
