I have a few years old Red Sea 130D max. Lately, the skimmer has not been skimming much at all and the pump has been sporadic. I suspect it is the pump! It works well...then seems to lose power and therefore does not function properly. Aside form getting a new pump, is there something else...

Got a six line wrasse as I have heard they will eat flat worms and are fun to watch. Had him only a week and just noticed that he is bare to the skin on one side near his back tail. Is still swimming ok and all but looks bad and surprised it hasn't killed him yet. Just wondering what did this...

Ok, so I have 7 small fish (snails and hermits) in my 35 gallon marine reef aquarium....along with several leather coral, pulsating Xenia, Hammer coral and several Zoa's. All is healthy but every 2 days, I get a film or scum on top of the water that I am not sure where it's coming from. If I...

My newer 35 gallon RedSea aquarium has been taken over by mushrooms. I'd like to cut some back but is there a best way to eradicate some of them without all of them? Also, I have an aiptasia that has grown to about 1.5 inch tentacles....same question. And finally, I have just noticed a ton of...

My aquarium had a leak so had to replace it about 3 months ago. The new tank is a Red Sea reef tank 130D, so about 34 gallons and is set up in a temporary spot in my house till the new flooring gets put in. The fish, inverts and LR are all doing well, but I did not place the sand in the...

After a tank crack and the loss of my previous aquarium, I got this setup from a fellow reefer and added his rock and coral to my rock and coral. Two months later I have a LOT of mushrooms. Please take a look at the pic and let me know if I need to harvest some of these to sell, or if they are...

On New Year's Day my aquarium cracked and I lost half the water not to mention my hardwood flooring and some ceiling below. It appears to have been a freak accident, so I replaced the older tank with a newer one - it being the RedSea 130D model. All the fish and corals survived the disaster...

and I lost about 10 gallons to my living room before I discovered it! I managed to move my live rock and fish to a tub for the time being. It was a very slow leak so about a third of the the water leaked from the 34 gallon tank. I do not know how it cracked, but I founf that the 2 power head...

I have noticed a white growth at the base of my Candy Cane coral and just wondering what it could be. Any thoughts?

Just got a beautiful Green Mandarin, and although she grazes on live rocks and looks healthy, she does not eat my frozen Mysis or brine shrimp. Any suggestions as to what/how to feed her, or should I just leave her to graze?

Keep getting these little critters about 1/4 of an inch long. Some have antennae's about an inch long. Pic is not very clear, but are these isopods and are they beneficial to place back in the tank when cleaning my filters?

Found this small guy attached to some coral I recently purchased. It appears to be a very small anemone. Can anyone confirm this as it looks like it has a small mouth in the middle and and has accepted brine shrimp when I targeted it directly. It is maybe the size of a nickle. Pic is...

Just recently, have had these small green tubes show up on areas of my live rock. Are about 1/4 long. Any idea what they are and should I just leave them. Many thanks.

Any thoughts on the size/type of Anemone I should get for my 34 gallon reef tank. I had a Condy Anemone when I bought the tank back in February that hosted an Anemone crab. It was cool but the anemone died last week. I tested the water parms and they are all perfect. The only exception was...

Hi all. Ok, so I have had my RedSea 34 g tank up and running for 3 months now (bought it from a preevious owner, not my LFS) and all looks pretty good except for some green hair algae which is looking better now that thigs have settled and I have moved some snails in work on it. Also, I seem...

My motor does not seem to create enough flow even after cleaning it extensively. Am looking for a new motor or the entire skimmer for this model of tank. Am in Calgary. 403-889-9299.

I bought my 130D set up back in February (used) and now the skimmer is not producing enough flow to generate any skimmate:( I cleaned it up with a water/vinegar solution and let it run for an hour in my sink at which time it seemed to be working fine with good flow. But when I submerge it all...

Have had my 34 gallon tank up almost 3 months now and have noticed too many bristle worms that constantly go after my fire shrimp (esp when I hand feed him). I know people say that these worms are good for the overall tank, but I'd like to get rid of some as they seem to be gaining control of...

I have a 34 gallon Red Sea setup I bought in February that was fully setup and running with Brown Zoas, a few fish, crabs and LR, etc. Purchased some Candy Cane coral last week that seems to be doing well and a very nice looking green Zoanthid cluster. All looks good except the cluster. Maybe...

with an anemone, a porcelain crab, 2 emerald crabs, several hermit crabs, a clown fish and goby. Water tests look good and all critters look good except there is now a sheen of algae on the glass and all the live rock is turning green with the algae. I have ony had it setup 5 days now. Is...
