    Ugh, Fish took interest in coral

Well let’s just say my Foxface,flame angel and 2 bar rabbit fish began picking at them. I’m sure this has been going on for a while which...

    Avast Plank feeder

    Thinking about replacing my Neptune AFS auto feeder with the Avast plank feeder. Anyone have one here? Pros /cons. I like the idea of feeding Reef Roids with freeze dried instead of pellets.

    Please help with identifying this algae. Need help with treatment!

    Cross posted on R2R I have been battling this algae for a while now in my 120 mixed reef. It grows everywhere including sandbed. Tank is approx 7 months old.

    Anyone else see the large discounts on Neptune

    Just got an email from BRS and wow. Dos for 269. SKY is 200.00 off. What’s the deal. Do they plan on coming out with a new version of the dos or SKY. Neptune never has discounts like this. It’s their “Mega summer sale”

    AFR Day 1 wish me luck

    Today I started to dose AFR. Getting away from my DIY 2 part. Figured for the cost of AFR it’s worth a shot to try something that has produced really good results with people using it. Hopefully I have same results as others. I’ll keep you posted. Started off with 26 ml a day spread out through...

    Just want to say thank you to Neptune, they came through! After some issues I was having with Trident, which is out of warranty, that couldn’t be fixed remotely I sent it in for service. Neptune didn’t charge me a dime for the repairs and they sent me a 2 month reagent kit along with new lines...

    Is this some kind of Nepthea

    I squirted this super bright yellow coral from a piece of live rock that was given to me. Is this some kind of Nepthea? Lights are just starting to come on so it’s not really awake yet.

    GFO not lowering phosphates

    So I have been running GFO in a TLF reactor with a flow of about 43 gph and my phosphates are at .12. I am also having an issue with I think may be Lyngba since I still have this algae problem and nothing is touching it. As far as lowering phosphates to help combat this algae should I change...

    Molly for GHA what do you think?

    So I have a little bit of a hair algae problem. Would I benefit from a couple mollies. I see they devour GHA. My snails and lawnmower Blenny either don’t touch it or do very little to control it. Looking for ideas. Also if tank is treated with fluconazole will anything eat algae or will it just...

    My poor wrasse!

    I go downstairs to mess with my tank and I noticed my yellow chest wrasse committed suicide. Dried up on the carpet. Im curious how he did this since I have a lid. The only possible way was for him to jump up was through my feeding tube. Guess he may have went inside tube when food was being...

    Is this torch worth 40.00. Looks like some kind of Cristata torch. Almost like a purpleish hue. Guess it could be a grape cristata?
