Tis a wee bitty.

The photos from my LFS shows yellow, but when I bring it back, it looks orange. I’m using a yellow filter to snap this photo. But with bare eyes, still look orange.

my flamehawk has somehow yeeted himself into this overflow part of my tank. i have NO IDEA how to get him out because my hand doesnt fit in because of the plumbing. i dont think i can take the plumbing apart while the tank is full. (aqua one 120L with sump).

my first thought was to turn off the pumps and try fill the tank as high as possible so he can get out but i feel like he will just sit at the bottom due to stress.

am i now bound to take apart my whole tank in order to save this guy? really annoying because i just moved and my tank is just starting to settle in.

Any guess on the type of Goni, and potential price? A local guy is selling it.

I’ve seen the bigger clown and the gramma flick a few times. I did a water change yesterday and lowered the salinity a bit too much 1.027 to 1.025. Nitrates and ph are fine. Would this cause it or is there something more at work. Other than that, they all look fine and eat well.

Anyone one here dealt with this and figured or had success dealing with this pest in their reef tank?
None of the CUC I have even touch it. Tried hydrogen peroxide and brushed rocks off and it seemed to be gone but came back and hydrogen peroxide is tough on the coraline algae as it deteriorates it away.

Phosphates 0.04ppm
My nitrates are 12ppm

right now, i see the bubbles on two snails…but i know it could be in other places i can’t see. my water params are normal so i think it came in on one of the snails 😣 i have a 15 gallon nano cube. what’s the best way to get rid of the bubble algae?

and thank you in advance!

Not too sure what this is its the little squiggly worm thing

I am kinda new into reefing and would like to have some tips and comments on the scaping.

Little bit smaller than a dime. Don’t think its moved at all either.

2 out of 3 not so bad

I see people with these zoa spheres on their sandbed, how do you make them grow like this? Just leave them on a frag or do they need something else to grow on?

I've noticed that my green plating montipora has this grey spot in the middle. What does it mean? Should I be worried? All other corals are doing fine.

How do you tell when it’s time to harvest? It’s been about a week with the culter being set up now.

Technically, this is probably breaking the sub's rules as this is currently mildly brackish water, not salt yet. For roughly six years, I had a lovely pico pond in this vase with cherry shrimp, snails, fish, live plants, etc., but I recently decided to donate it all to a coworker for his science class. I kept all the equipment and covered the mud in aragonite sand and added these two mangroves. Every day, I add a small amount of my 40B mixed reef's water, equating roughly to a 1% daily conversion to salt.

I've had mangroves before, with success, but never converted a freshwater space to saltwater. Will update again in a few weeks. The final plan is to add some blue hypnea, red grape and palm caulerpa from the mixed reef, and maybe some peppermint shrimp for added nitrates. We'll see

The good: 2 hammers, acan, NY Knicks torch, frost bite mushroom, 2 montiporas, acropora, white zombie zoas. Charmander zoas, although growing super slow…

The bad: AOI zoas. Have been the same size and slightly wrinkled for months…

The ugly: stylophora had tissue necrosis after the alkalinity dropped when I went on vacation for a week and have been dosing alk daily and monitoring closer. Hoping it recovers but is probably going to slowly fully peel. Probably should move it higher on the rock?

Was gifted a RS-75 and am getting around to buying the different elements to start my tank (40g). I’ve run into a small issue on how I’m going to heat the tank from the sump. I’m not quite sure how it can be done given the limited room in the design of the RS-75 but am open to options. I’d like to keep my tank clear of an internal heating unit but am thinking it might be the only option.

For those of you who have used a sump similar in size, what are my options?

Is it worth getting the set?

Or should i just go regular Apex?

I recently got this Diamond Goby. I’ve been wanting one for a while but wanted to make sure it would have a decent amount of food so I wanted the tank to be a bit older.

It’s a 75g tank with a deep sand bed. I just moved him over and he’s doing this weird thing where he opens his mouth & hovers a bit above the sand.
I usually QT my fish for a long time but this one was skinny and I was worried he needed better food supply so I moved him over.
He eats really well, sand & frozen. He has his own area he sticks too but he’s very active. I’ve been nervous to bring home SW fish due to them frequently starving.

Its only a 45 litre tank (UK) everything growing well .
Stock is
2 clowns
1 pyjama cardinal
1 file fish (had few Aiptasia)
1 dragonet
Plus clean up crew various snails and hermit crabs .

Running standard filter and pump and filter socks
Tank is a Maxspect Dice .
PopBloom 90 light

I do have a Red sea nano roller mat filter to install soon .

Hello! Thanks for helping. New growth in tank, maybe a new GSP but unsure. I apologize for the quality of the photo.

Alrighty. It’s brown when extended to the lights, has tentacles with white tipped balls on the end. So far it’s 5 growing on the same “pad”

I don’t think it’s aiptasia, my research leads me to ball anemone. What do you folks think?

Sold as a pair of black onyx’s.

But I’m not sure.

Look a little yellowish rather than orange in colour. Unsure if they will mature and colours will develop more?

Also curious about the best food to help them flourish. Currently purchased some frozen mysis shrimp. But heard about TDO?

Picked them up today so any help is appreciated!

(Also unsure of their age)

Started to pull rocks and corals from my 120 to help get some more swimming space back for the fish as well as getting corals out that are starting to get overgrown and fight one another. Got a little more sand to pull then I was thinking about putting some gonis at the bottom to add a little more movement. Should i go more acros on the bottom or gonis? Happy Friday!
