are they bad?

What is this thing? It is hard I have had the tank running for 5 months. This went in about a month ago. I havent seen it until today.

The strange thing is, its only on that one and wasn't there for a few weeks.

I had it quarantined for 14 days and decided to put it in my tank. Now it has this grass and blue all over the frag plug. And the polyps aren't all open like they were. I know its not a good picture so if anyone need another, i will get some

Came home today and were alot of bubbles in the tank. Hard to see but they are very small. #1 - is it bad for the fish? #2 - any idea what it would be? I've tried everything. Turning all power off obviously fixes it. Turning the skimmer off seems to help.

Mine went away evetnaully. Unsure why. I know the protein skimer is a little tricky. One day i thought it was tempty but it was full of clear water. Don't think that could do it though. Not with a filter sock on.

So I have a leak in an obvious place. It just looks wrong. Can anyone tell me how I should connect these? 1st time plumbing with a drill tank and sump. Its the return line and Its a 3/4” Bulkhead ABS Thread x Slip with a 3/4" Pipe Adapter Spigot x Barb Thanks!

They are not moving. I thought it was a bit strange as well but I was told to put the 4 fish in to help it cycle. I used some Fluval cycle as well. The tank itself had been setup for a month with live water and sand before adding the fish. I am using RODI water. They do not wiggle, they are...

Was into the hobby 10 years ago or so but I never saw this. It happens every time i put my pump on feed mode and then turn it back on. It started happening a few days ago. I started the tank 2/9. It looks like pieces of skin. Its the first time i did a drill tank and made a sump.

and I will not be the one responsible for this, the plan is to have a professional come in and maintain it and that is something that I was also wondering about in terms of time and $$ needed to for this person to properly take care of it.

Hello everyone, I am new here and come seeking help, information, and guidance for a somewhat unique situation i have found myself in. I am going to be part of the building and development of a nursing home. I think it would be very interesting to incorporate salt water aquariums throughout the...
