Who Gives A Fish Forums

Still on the fence about my 130 litre nano tank setup.

Puffers or triggers appeal to me, but I'm also considering coflakes down the line.
Are there any puffer or trigger species that are safe for a reef tank?

I'm no expert, but I think I see a worm on that coral, might be stressing it out. I've had pretty good luck with gonioporas in medium flow, non-direct light - usually stick 'em in a corner or back middle of the tank. I feed 'em morning doses of Red Sea Reef Energy A&B, Actipods, and Cyclopeeze ...

I've been considering purchasing copepods online, mainly because I'm interested in getting a Mandarin, but I don't have the luxury of time or space to cultivate a colony on my own.

Currently, I have a 3-foot tank with about 70-75 pounds of live rock. I'd love to hear from anyone who's bought ...

Hi,

I'm curious, what's the best food for Dracula Gobies? Looking for some advice, thanks.

I'm setting up a new tank and I'm keen on adding a goby.

The yellow watchman, blue cheek, and Randall's shrimp goby have caught my eye.

Can you mix and match different types in a 250-litre tank or is it best to stick with one?

Yeah, I'm in no rush to move the sponge, it's stuck to the rock with the Favia, classic reefing - one thing leads to another.

The Favia's looking better though, it's retracted about 75% of the filaments and seems happier. I'm starting to think most of the stress was from flow and lighting. Getting ...

I'm stoked to report that by the end of the day, half the polyps that were showing their guts have already retracted them. I really appreciate all the suggestions from everyone - it's been super helpful. Hopefully in about a week I'll be able to post a fully recovered pic, and maybe by then I'll ...

I'll keep working on getting my Mg levels up to par. Watching the current, it seems like it's mostly downstream from the Stylo, but the side of the Favia facing the Stylo isn't showing any issues. One thing I did notice while observing the tank is that the particles were moving by a bit faster than ...

Thanks for the input, I did think about it being waste and actually gave it a couple gentle puffs with the turkey baster yesterday - pretty sure it's attached to the coral. Today, the little balls seem smaller so I'm hoping the shade, along with the Mg and a tiny dose of Baking Soda, is making a ...

Just got my more accurate Alk test results, and it looks like I'm sitting at 6.0, which is pretty low. I'm thinking I need to dig deeper into this. The first test kit I had was a budget-friendly one, and 2.2 was roughly in the middle of their "okay" zone. The second test kit usually shows readings ...
