My trumpet coral isn't looking to well my puffer kept nocking it over but now I have it secured

So I started my tank about 4-5 months ago. Had a problem with brown hair algae that I couldn't get to go away. Did water changes pretty much everyday hoping it would help but it didn't (10-20 gallons a day my whole system is about 100 gallons) . So I drained the water washed the rocks off and...

Hi guys, complete nooby here setting up my delightful MAX 250 C. I have a couple of questions which I am quite unsure of to which I have checked the manual but it has not helped. I bought a tank which is 6 months old am about to put some water in it but I am unsure on two things. 1) There is...

Hello, I'm not sure what it means, and I can't find anything on it anywhere. My glove/ clove polyps (not sure which they're called- seen it both ways) have been closed the past couple of days and were not looking too well. I have no idea why. There's a couple of stalks that have shriveled almost...

The LFS had it next to (not infront of) a cyphastrea sign. but it doesnt look like cyphastrea to me. Maybe a green digitata monti? not sure... What do you guys think? Thanks

I have these grass looking polyps. There is the clear tube looking growth on it. I'm not sure what it is or what to do with it. I have attached pictures. The people at the coral store we buy from do not know what it is. Its clear tubular growth. That has over taken the rock itself. I will try...

Hi everyone so after 15 years I decided to get back into the hobby ... back in high school I had 75 gallon set up live rock/sand, canister filter, protein skimmer the basics and surprisingly it did well ... now I see there are far better options and I have a little more to spend than a high...

I started my first reef tank 5 weeks ago! I've been researching and learning a lot about reefing. My tank is a 29 gallon with live rocks, live sand, a canister filter, a skimmer, a power head, a heater, and T5 lights. I went all out and got the nicest stuff i could. I waited and tested my water...

I just started my tank 5 weeks ago and had my water tested and made sure it was ready for fish. I got a clown 3 days ago and he was dowing fine. I was cleaning the tank and filter and notice he was twitching. I don't know what's wrong so I tested my levels and everything is perfect. I haven't...

I've had my tank up for about 2 weeks now and I'm just now starting to see hitchhikers from the LR.. Can anyone tell me what exactly that is under the rock? It looks like a starfish to me but I have no idea? It was sitting on top of the rock last night..

So the guy at my lfs said to not use filtration while using chemiclean for 2 days (when chemiclean is done working.) So i was turning off my filter on my biocube 29 when i realized that the filter and air pumps are connected! So then i asked myself about if my fish will die without flow (I also...

I had a fire shrimp 2.75 inches. He chilled under a rock cave. Pretty peaceful, didn't harm anything. Introduced another one, slightly smaller (2.25 inches?) He flips the out. When the shrimp went near his cave, he lunged at it. I made a mini cave for the little one. My larger one also lunged at...

I know, I know, pictures are everything. My banngai cardinal has been swimming slightly sideways and been very inactive. He has six white spots on him and "twitches". Is this probably ich

I've been reading up on the material on this site. The tank sets I was looking at at my LFS were either the Biocube 29 or Aqueon LED 29 Aquarium Kit. The biocube is more expensive, can I use the Aqueon kit for a SW reef tank? It comes with 29 glass aquarium low profile LED hood water...
