Hello Everyone. I have taken over my daughters tank since she is off to college and the Toadstool coral has never really opened up. It has been in the same spot for over 2 years. Other corals seem to do fine. Nitrates 7, Phos 0.05, Alk 9.2dkh, Calcium 470, Mag 1320, Ph 8.12, Temp 77-79F...

Long story short. Bought some corals and the Candy Cane had vermetid snails. I crushed them with pliers and dug them out with exacto blade and check it every couple of weeks and they keep coming back. Been doing this for about 60 days now. It is quarantined until I don't see anymore. Thank...

My daughter is off to college and I moved her tank from her room to the living room. She always had an issue with Algae. So much so that it looked more like a Refugium rather than a fist tank. After all the cleaning and water changes carpet algae keeps growing in thick. Phosphates, Nitrates...

July 2023 I bought the AI Blade Coral Grow for my reef tank. In January 2025 is stopped working and was well out of warranty. I emailed AI and they said if I paid for the cost of shipping they would give me an estimate for repair and I would pay for parts and labor would be free. The initially...

Has anyone had issue with their AI Coral Grow Light? This one died this week. I am contacting AI but while I am waiting I opened it up and saw the power entry wires were all corroded and the power entry capacitor looked like it had leaked. I have been a field service engineer for 40 years so...

Anyplace to get Copepods in the bay area. I live in Pleasanton. Last time I got them shipped to me from Alaebarn but I am scared the weather is so hot they will be a Copepod bisque when I get them. Let me know if I am wrong about ordering from Algaebarn in the summer. I just don't know if it...

Hello Everyone I priced out a 5 gallon Reservoir to fit in a specific place and they are like $120 -$150 for an acrylic one which is insanely expensive. For the price of 2 rolls of PETG $12.99, stainless steal screws (maybe overkill but for peace of mind), epoxy, electricity and time I am...

Hello Everyone. I got a Nirvana Poly from the last coral swap in Cali Kid in March. I can tell this Coral is fast growing and maybe a little to fast for my tank. Any advice for keeping it in check? Thanks @Finnaddict for supplying so many corals. I got a few with your name on them. I just want...

Hello Everyone. I paid for a grab bag at the Cali Kids frag Swap and I got a Pink Gonipora. I acclimated the coral, let it float, added water over some time and finally put it into my tank. I put it in the corner at the bottom of my tank because I read online to put it into a lower light part...

Hello Everyone, I need advice on getting a tank cover for a Nuvo 15. We already have a net tank cover but we have to top off about 1 gallon a week and it is not even summer yet. I was thinking of getting one made at TAP plastics. I cannot find a ready made one online. I will get a 2 inch...

I have one of these and it works well. Price just dropped from $75 to $60. You need 2.4Ghz WiFi for it to work. Does not work with 5Ghz. So far so good if you are on a budget...

Hello Everyone, I am looking at getting an ATO. I need two for small 15 and 10 gallon tanks. Any recommendations. I see them from $39 - $200+ and DIY which can cost as much as the low cost ones. Optical or Mechanical? Thanks in advance. I was searching around the forums but didn't see much...

Hello Everyone, My daughter has had a 10mm mesh over her tank and it has worked until a goby was able to get through it at night. Any recommendations for a better tank cover? Thank You Richard

I 3D printed these out for my RO/DI system to easily identify the RO/DI water from the waste water. I use the waste water for my garden. I made them a little big so they are weighted down but then I decide to put clamp at the top of the bucket. Green is RO/DI Red is waste. Let me know what you...

Hello Everyone, I bought a Mushroom coral and when I popped it off the plug I noticed a Rasta Zoa underneath. Any suggestions on the best way to handle this. Should I separate them or just leave them alone. The Mushroom is currently walking around my tank. I had it in a nice place for...

I have a Bubble Tip Anemone that I have had for about 3 weeks and it was looking great. Every few days I would give is a piece of Silverside or Reef Roids and it was puffy and looking great and staying where I put it. Couple of days ago I woke up and I cannot find it to save my life. When it...
