  1. Hello guys I have been trying to lower my Nitrates and phosphates levels in my 10 gallon FOWLR tank to no avail. I tried water changes, a PRODAC NO Nitrates absorber, and Seachem Prime. However, there are still golden brown patches all over and green hair-like moss as well. Ironically, when I test for nitrates, they show up fine, less then 0.5. What are the other means?
  2. Hello everyone I have a mandarin dragonet in a FOWLR tank. I used to have alot of pods crawling all around the rocks but now they are all but gone. I tried frozen brine shrimps and then frozen copepods. But still, it wont eat. It just kept pecking at the rocks and is getting thinner by the day. It is very thin now. Anyone here has a recommendation for its food and where can I purchase it? (Urgent) Thank you.
  3. Hi everyone M 10 gallon FOWLR tank is 1 month old and there are 1 chromis and 1 clown inside. Now it is likely having a diatom bloom coz there is gold brown patches on the live rocks and aragonite sand. The fishes are eating and swimming fine. But just a few hours ago, the clownfish started darting and splashing all over the surface of the water and breathed rapidly. Now it is flapping on its side against the surface of the water and looks like its gna die soon. Parameters are all ok: Salinity 1.024, Nitrites 0, PH 8.3, ammonia 0. The clownfish has no white or black spots. I can't see why it is dying. Need some advice here.
  4. Hello everyone! Who is keen to acquire a 1-1.5 inch grey smasher mantis! I have one now and I don't want him no more. Thanks!
  5. Hello I know many reefers keep glass tanks. However I use an acrylic alternative. Anyone here knows of a good acrylic cleaner because I can't seem to make it as clear as I want it to be: devoid of oil smudges etc.
  6. Hi everyone! I like the coral banded shrimp alot and would like to keep one, However, there is a small 1.5inch grey mantis shrimp in one of my rocks. I have two options: 1) Do a bottle trap and get rid of that irritating stomatopod. 2) Go ahead with the Coral banded Shrimp and hope that these two can co-exist together. Which is a better option? Need some two-cents here.
  7. Hello everyone! Just cycled my saltwater tank and it looks good to go. Wondering if there are good publications written on saltwater Aquariums. I know that "The New Marine Aquarium" by Paletta is a bible in this area, as well as "The Conscientious Marine Aquarist" by Frenner. But these seminal works are published more than a decade ago. Certain sections such as on equipment might be outdated. Thus, looking to check if there are any recommendations which are written in recent years and of good quality:)
