I’ve been debating hard on adding a dragonet to my display as preventative maintenance incase pest get out of hand down the line. I haven’t added new pods to my tank in a few months, and would like to regularly dose pods for a month or two before adding the dragonet. What brands give you the best results when you want to stretch your pod population?

I guess my urchin had a good run, it really helped with my algae issue back in the day. My carpet will eat anything it can latch its tentacles onto, and I guess my urchin got too close and couldn’t escape. You can see the skeleton as well as all its spines that the anemone couldn’t digest, so it spit it out of its mouth! But seriously, how can I be mad at such a beautiful creature? I will miss the urchin though!

I’m excited to see this rock fill in!

I have a 24 gallon cube with a clownfish,firefish, springeri damsel, and a cleaner shrimp. I feel I’m perfectly stocked and really had no plans to add any other fish BUT I have flatworms that have gotten out of control and are smothering my hammers up top. So I’m thinking of possibly getting a six line. Will he cause issues in this small of a tank? Also considering a blue velvet nudi.

Love me some LPS

This is what 1 rainbow bta becomes in 6 months. I had rose and green back in the day that never split just got nice and big and beautiful. I suppose this is beautiful in its own way.

What is this stuff growing on my clam and how do I get rid of it or handle it?

Hey everyone! I have been battling this algae problem for some time now and recently it has boomed and gotten worse despite my efforts to get it under control. My tank has been running for 4 years, but the last year I have been battling this. I initially thought I had bryopsis (and maybe I do) but green hair algae has now come in and I cannot figure out the cause. I feed half a cube of mysis shrimp every other day and do a 10% water change every two weeks. I just did a water test the other day and these are the results: Salinity:1.024-1.025 PH:8-8.2 Ammonia: 0ppm Nitrite: 0ppm Nitrate: 10-20ppm I use chemipure blue and purigen in the media basket and my light schedule is: Lc1(whites): 12pm-5pm Lc2:10:30am-7pm Lc3(blues): 10am-10pm My live stock is 2 clowns, 1 royal gramma, 1 long nose hawkfish, yellow watchman goby, pistol shrimp, blood red fire shrimp. My clean up crew is 3 turbo snails, 5 nassarius, 2 trochus snails, 1 pincushion urchin, 4 hermit crabs, and 1 tiger conch. I’m at a loss as to what to do to get this under control. I manually remove the hair algae when I can but it comes back within a few days. I’m open to all feedback or advice on what to change or try to get this under control. I completely shut off my lights for 3 days a week ago and it had no effect on reducing the algae in the tank. Thanks for your time and input!

Love this look just as the lights are ramping up. Everything wakes up and looks beautiful!

Just thought I would share a quick video of my YWG and pistol shrimp. It’s taken them over a month to find each other 💗

Over 100 bucks for TWO 1” gate valves- guess I’m going ball valves and cussing as I try and dial things in

I noticed this morning that the tip of my Feather Duster Worm's tube appears to be retracted. There is significantly more white than I typically see, there is currently approx. an inch visible, whereas there is normally only 1/4 inch visible. Is this an issue? Thoughts? Cause for concern?

Doing a water change and noticed one of scolys grabbed a shrimp molt for a snack

There we go with my 3 Little colonies of lordhowensis. I have the big Ball since 2021 now and back then it was just 1 polyp :) Hope you like it :)

Why is my mushrooms spewing out this brown stringy stuff?

This Is my peppermint shrimp that i bought for my aiptasia infestation, and now the population Is down to zero, now what Will they eat? Decayng macroalgae or should i buy shrimp food?

These guys come out from under this rock when food lands close by.

Having trouble telling if my Midas Blenny has a parasite, or is just dirty from swimming around the water’s surface.

Yesterday I noticed the Blenny and a clownfish had the dull coating that is consistent with parasites like Ich or velvet, so I moved all fish over to a QT tank. Unfortunately I haven’t been able to catch the Blenny. I am planning to get a fish trap ASAP, but read that velvet acts really quickly so wanted to know if I need to tear the whole tank down.

The Blenny is eating and acting like normal, and is very active to include suplexing my clownfish around before I fed them.
