I re-started my salt tank to prevent disease and pests. I cured my rock and let my tank cycle. It is a 90 gallon. I use Hanna Checkers and API Master Reef testing kit and test everyday.
For the past week these were my readings. Salinity 31-32, Ammonia 0-0.25, Nitrite 0, Nitrate 25, Calcium 520...
I have no idea why I got such a huge spike of hair algae but it’s crazy! My tank has been up for over a year I’d say now. I had hair algae and then it went away. Now it’s back! Along with that pink stuff that went away too. What is going on? How do I kill that hair algae? I purchased a slug...
Anyone have ideas for friendly community fish to put in a 50 gallon tank (preferably coral reef)?
Some of you are going to hate me for this but I don't like clownfish that much because they are soo common and i'm going for a larger variety of fish.
Thank you!
I think one of my favorite things in the entire ocean is a kelp forest, and I finally found some incredibly realistic rubber kelp at my LFS. I also kind of want coral, so i was thinking a mixture? have kelp surrounding a small reef? The stocking is not going to match that of kelp of course...
I'm a noob and I've never tried saltwater but honestly I am more intrigued by it than anything else, and I just wondered if there was any kind of wave maker that made more natural waves, (Moving slower with pauses in between) kind of what you see underwater with the fish slowly drifting back and...
Hello, I have a 6 gallon Fluval Edge. It has been running for 2 years with a fire shrimp and live rock. Recently, the tank crashed, so I am having to start over. The tank reeks right now despite a 100% water change, new sponge media, carbon and good scrubbing. I kept the sand bed, the rocks, and...

Hello everyone, my local fish store had an Atlantic stingray and sold it to me under the pretense that it could last in freshwater. After I looked into it more I have realized it needs a saltwater setup to really survive. I know I should have looked into it more before getting it, but I would...
In this thread I will be posting pictures of my saltwater fish. I will post updated pics and more! Feel free to comment and enjoy the fish along with me.
In my saltwater tank I have:
1 one spot foxface rabbitfish
1 blue lined decorated rabbitfish
1 niger trigger
1 dog face pufferfish
1 manila...
so in california where I live, all sharks of the carcharhinus genus are banned which includes reef sharks. However, the whitetip reef shark is not of the genus carcharhinus so does that mean they can be kept.
Note, as of right now I do not seek to keep sharks of any kind but I do have some...

Ok guys, here is a question that has been asked many many times just not with this size as far as I have been able to tell. I have read everything under the sun and even laughed at some info. Here is my build.
I am building a 12' wide x 36" deep and 48" tall plywood aquarium in our "family...
Has anyone ever recycled the salt when doing a water change? I've been thinking on how much does salt cost every time we do a water change, so I've been thinking there must be a way recycled assault I mean the water is the only thing that evaporates so if we could find a way to get the unwanted...
Been considering setting up a saltwater tank again after I move in a couple months to a more permanent residence. Thinking a 75 reef, red diana hog, scopas tang, and some beginner corals blue mushrooms, green star polyps, maybe try acropora later on. Obviously no snails, crabs, shrimp, or stars...
