It can be hard to say from the picture, some fish will fade and lose color from the trauma of being captured and transported but the color returns after the fishes stress eases. Blue Tangs stress easily. Does it look like its faded or like a film forming? Worst case scenario is Marine Velvet...

Mfgr went out of business

This is a great way to feed Nori. I've designed a prototype magnetic floating Nori feeder without using the MagFloat. Not quite happy with it need to tweak a bit. The benefit is very little chance of big pieces being torn off and floating around the tank. I've feeding them like this for a few...

Not sure where to put this so I’ll share my experience to those of you who ever moved or thought about moving a tank. Well my friend passed and it was time to move his tanks. It was not fun I do not recommend it to anyone. Everything went pretty smoothly and everything survived except for one...

I am currently taking over a mixed reef tank from a friend that has recently passed away. It is a Sunbrite wifi enabled LED fixture the only way to control it is with an App. Unfortunately the App has been discontinued and I can not find it anywhere. I can't believe that this App could be...

Hey guys I could really use some input. A good friend of mine got terrible news and only has a few months left and is in palliative care. We both have established reef tanks mine is a 70 gallon and his is a 120 gallon. My friend had asked me if I would take his tank and keep his fish and corals...

Found this maybe it will help. Basically the time between egg-laying and hatching differs in different species and can range from a few hours to 3 weeks or more. In most cases (we think) the egg develops in its capsule into a microscopic shelled veliger larva which hatches out into the sea...

You can pick up a floating feeder ring with a suction cup that attaches to the wall of the tank. Just place it under the auto feeder. You can also get sinking pellet food but they don't necessarily sink right away and much of it can go right down the overflow. Just an example...

How long should I quarantine it?

It's been awhile since I've posted anything so I thought I would throw up a few pics. I caught my cat licking the tank, he used to do this years ago with my freshwater tank and has started up again, like me he can be strange. Cat vid Tank Vid Tank pics

Try Walmart in the RV or camping Dept.

+1 nailed it

My 70 gallon cost about 2k to set up. Are you planning on a sump? This will also factor in the initial set up cost. I was fortunate that a friend of mine builds tanks and sumps and my cousin is a cabinet maker so I just had to supply the material. For equipment your bigger costs will be skimmer...

A fuge would be good, I myself would nix the DSB but they work for some people. As far as the Gobies (depending on species) are concerned a few in a 25g tank might be asking for trouble. Although I'm sure that there are people out there that have with no issue it's taking a chance. I understand...
