Reef and Marine Fish Forum

Hi all

Ive not been back here for a while, was so excited when we had our new marine tank and posted here and and posted pics etc

Short story over the last month, we have lost 6 out of 10 fish which we now believe was/ is white spot, acted on the advice of the LFS but after a lot of research we now have a hospital tank set up and will be putting the remaining fish in to treat with copper in the next couple of day just waiting for the treatment to arrive tomorrow, only worry is the...

Hi,

I bought my first tank, an Interpet Fish Pod 120, a couple of years ago with the intention of keeping it FOWLR. Worked great for me, but then I decided that I want corals as well. I shopped around for a new tank, but they were too expensive for me. So, I thought I could give it a try and build my own reef tank.

I bought a low iron glass tank from the internet for a reasonable price. With 80 cm of length I had enough space for an integrated sump. So I sacrificed about 1/5 of the length...

Hello I'm starting up a 250l reef tank with a 130l sump underneath . I've got a skimmer bio pellet reactor to go in the sump but not sure wether to add a calcium reactor / dosing pump or both as I'm wanting to keep both soft and hard corals ? any help and advice would be appreciated
Cheers Phil

Hello,

I'm at a loss. I'm still relatively new to this and so not really sure what is going on! My tank is about 9 months old, generally been good although did go through a period a while back where my corals started to look really bad. Am through that now and thought i was doing well but in the last few weeks i've lost 4 fish. I've checked all the things i think i should be checking and aside from Nitrate being 12ppm ( which i didn't think was too bad ) i can't spot what could be wrong....

Guess I better make a thread for my new tank, another Reefspace 900, but this time in white.

Picked the tank up back in December after having a chat with the wife about changing the colour of the living room furniture from black to white. It came with a blue backing, which I hate, so that was whipped off

Had loads of dry rock pre-purchased, so left that soaking in RO for a few months with regular changes

Hello.

Easy question for some I’d imagine but I’m new to this. I’m guessing the black bits of this coral aren’t good! A sign I have it too high up and close to thing? Not getting enough of what it needs?

Help please. And thank you!

can anyone recommend a new light for me able to copy with all corals?
I could do with one with a time that starts and ends doing the full lighting cycle and then off for the night.

Hi all! Well I’ve bit the bullet and returned to marine fish again.
