    SF-based testing or debugging LPS + Euphyllia decline?

    I gave away most of my testing equipment a while back since I had primarily a nem / euphyllia tank that I wanted to be lower maintenance. Recently, I noticed declines / death in some of the harder corals + Acans. Nothing had changed with flow, feeding (broadcast, primarily) - just a bit behind...

    Anemone Hitchhiker (!)

    First time I've seen this, thought it was funny. Nem getting a sweet ride - mind blowingly fast I'm sure for it!

    Hypoxic Tank: issue with Scoly / Monti?

    Reposting here for visibility on the coral specifically - would be a shame if anything happened to the scolly!! https://www.bareefers.org/forum/threads/reef-tank-oxygen-depleted-inverts-gone-next-steps.33050/

    Reef Tank oxygen depleted + inverts gone - next steps?

    Due to an unfortunate accident cleaning my powerheads during a water change, I made my tank hypoxic (some strong citric acid in the water by toddler). The inverts basically perished within a minute (shrimp, snails, etc.) I noticed the problem when I came back up and the fish were upside down...

    Too many pods OK?

    I purchased 2 bottles of tigger pods from Reef Nutrition prior to stocking my tank with a leopard wrasse and mandarin dragonet. Because of the set up in Red Sea tank, there's a closed portion in the sump and the filter socks where I dumped a bunch and fed phyto. Now they are *everywhere*. I'm...

    Ryan's Red Sea Reefer 250

    Well here we go, back at it again! After selling off my 90 and having my IM tank crash due to construction, it took a while to get up the energy and motivation to get back into reefkeeping. Partly due to 2 kids and lack of space which meant recuring rock would be a pain; and partly due to the...

    40G Innovative Marine AIO + Stand + equipment

    First come first serve. This housed my 40G tank which crashed last year due to previous construction. Everything was perfect for running SPS + LPS. Unfortunately have had construction and the tank + stand have been out in the elements for a couple of weeks since no one came on the previous ask...

    Help Me Restart in November (SF)?

    Hi y'all - have been away for a few months and spent some time traveling with the family. Work is starting back up in December, so I thought I'd take November to restart my 40G tank (https://www.bareefers.org/forum/threads/ryan%E2%80%99s-new-40g-setup-mixed-reef.26568/) that crashed during a...

    Rubber / Silicone Seal moving (IM 40G All in One)

    Picture is worth 1000 words. Cleaning out my Inno Marine 40 gallon all-in-one to restock and recycle after construction caused my previous tank to crash. Tank is in very good shape overall - but I noticed the back right 'silicone' (I'm not sure the material tbh) was loose. Tank seems sound...

    Restarting - any tips?

    Hi everyone - 2 months ago, my house underwent renovations and my 40 AIO tank crashed (go see tank thread for details). https://bareefers.org/forum/threads/ryan%E2%80%99s-new-40g-setup-mixed-reef.26568/ My equipment works fine - I'm wondering what is good vs. not good in restarting...

    Getting out of a bad cycle?

    Need some help here. Per my tank journal I’m relatively new to dosing and this is my first small tank. What’s happened: - my raja chalice from @ofzakaria started dying - I tested my alk - it had been stable but had dropped to 6.5 - slowly increased my all for reef dosing (10%) but it was...

    Emerald Crab eating my Cyphastrea?

    In my tank journal I thought fluctuating alk may have been decimating patches of my beautiful Cyphastrea. I just happened by my tank now and saw this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/v0lger7cngvcve4/Video%20Jan%2003%2C%209%2049%2057%20PM.mov?dl=0 What do the experts think? Emerald Crab munching my...

    Cyphastrea dying / discolored?

    Hey team, My Cyphastrea in my tank has started discoloring a bit. Not sure what is causing it to do that... it had been a strong grower. You can see params in my tank journal but here are a few things that have changed: 1) toxic pie and Cyphastrea touched for a day or two - mentioned in...

    Coral’s touching suggestions?

    Dumb question but... My Cyphastrea and ??????? have begun to touch and attack each other. Have never had this problem before but in a nano tank seems like it will be common. What do people typically do when corals begin to touch? Cyphastrea is encrusted and there’s no place great to move...

    Leaving pumps off for cleaning crew?

    As titled - is there anything wrong with turning off the return and any flow in the tank overnight to allow cleaning crews to get high flow spots that build up those special flow-loving algae and bacteria? Hope is that snails and crabs get up there and clean these areas a bit. Anyone do this...

    Kamoer X1 Pro - warning

    Doesn’t work out of box. Connection gets stuck at 60%. No manual debug mode. Massive waste of time. And if I can’t fix waste of money. No easily googled solutions. You have been warned - do a different dosing pump. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    n00b question: "Invisible" Dosing with Nano Tank?

    Hi all, My alk is dropping precipitously, likely due to growth (https://bareefers.org/forum/threads/ryan%E2%80%99s-new-40g-setup-mixed-reef.26568/). My 40g all-in-one is in our kitchen. Most of the equipment hangs on the back (skimmer, reactor, media), so there's no visual 'spill' into our...

    RIP Bar Goby

    Got a piece of a hikari mini algae wafer that wasn’t too big for him to eat but too big to swallow. PSA on breaking up those wafers guys! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Pod Explosion in Water Column?

    I woke up this AM and had a bunch of smallish flecks floating in the water column. My question is whether this could be pods, and if not, what else it could be? Also if it is pods, is there anything to do? A few facts: 1. Bought a mandarin dragonet a while back. Haven’t seen it once (planned...
