"It looks like it's trying to expel somthing": but could that last during 4-5 weeks ? could it be that once I gave it a too big piece of shrimp ? but again would not really imagine it get stuck in the BTA during couple of weeks ... I'm actually using "tropic marin" for pH testing as I found to...

Hello all, Would you have an opinion, piece of advice for me linked to the weird look of my bubble tip anemone (photo enclosed) ? It has been like that for 4-5 weeks now and this started after I had an issue with my automatic feeder which delivered in my tank (80 Gallons) in one day equivalent...

Thanks all for your answers. Yes this is growing on a mat and I looked into Google for the first set of image / coral to ID to your different suggestions: and indeed close but not exactly the same and therefore probably within the same family (and therefore amazing when you think about diversity...

Hello all, Now couple of weeks I’ve been on this site and be sure I appreciate scanning through your different discussions, enjoy pictures from all your beautiful tank & dream when I follow logs from those setting up very large tank ! So this message as I would need help to identify 2 corals...

Still thanks for the answer and no actually there was no brown or white stuff coming out (as I could have seen when I had a coral dying in the past) but just the "flesh" part of the head / poly disappearing gradually from one end of it and leaving behind the white skeleton ... when you wrote...

Hello all ! Would any of you have experience / advice to give me with the "heads" / polyps of my candy cane coral dying one after the other? At some point it had with ~ 20 heads and now has only 8 left (the others being dead with just the skeletal structure left) To give little bit more...

Agreed & when I think that I was considering that my plan to upgrade from my current 80 Gallons to a 150-180Gallons was a big project ....

Thank you guys for your exchange … and this exactly explain the core reason for my initial question as the answer does not sound so clear in the hobby. If I try to summarize what I understood after several hours on Internet (and PLEASE correct if I have something wrong): concept is to...

Thanks for starting ... I thought myself about the automatic dosing system but 1. not clear how to do this for volume of couple of ml per day (except with a peristaltic pump but being pretty expensive) and 2. always doubts that the automatic system will not work properly and if would result in...

Hello all and thanks in advance for your help, I’ve been in the last couple of days doing my home work around the vodka system through Internet search and I’m considering starting it in my tank (Reef system, 90 gallons, 2 years old without major nitrate issue but never being lower than 5-10ppm...

sorry to read all that. And from what you are describing, seems to have something quite bad happening in your tank and consistently ... did you think along the line of any chemical you might be non intentionally adding into your tank ? something like cleaning your tools or bucket used to change...

Hello & I understand what you mean as I've been in the same situation of having my nitrate always on 10-20 and even after extensive water change to put them back to 5 having nitrate quickly increasing to 15-20 and then staying there (thanks to continuing water change like 25% every 4 weeks) - &...

Hello, i'm new on this site but very nice set up. I've been looking at similar room divider tank (to upgrade my current 80gallons reef tank) and i was wondering where did you buy it ? Looks like some nice tank i've seen on line from 4fishtank.com but not really sure (and would be interested if...
