Thanks for the input guys. The zoa is sitting at the bottom of the tank where 1 of 3 polyps are opened. That's why I'm not sure if there's any pest of anything was annoying it. When I tried to see if there's any pest, that blister was the only I can see. I'll take another look if it still...

Hi everyone, I’ve been puzzled as to why one of the zoa is closed up the last week or so. when I took a closer look today, it looked like it had a white blistered spot on the closed zoa… I’m not sure what it is and I tried my best to take a photo of it… When the coral opened up, it looked like...

Thank you for the quick ID!

Hi everyone, I found this today while cleaning my tank… I have no idea what this is… it just showed up… I’m hoping this is nothing bad :/

Hi everyone, Quick update on my tank... I got the ICP results back. Looks like few things are at scary high level... Since I haven't make an effort to bump the kH yet, I am wondering if I should dose soda ash given the numbers (I know marine buffer have Boron)... Also, any thoughts on how...

I am using Red Sea Coral Pro Salt. For Salinity, I have two refractometer and I use them to cross reference the salinity... Since it's been so hot these days with the evaporation, that might be an issue (I top it off every night though). I think I will try the soda ash path for now and see if...

Assuming if the test kit is correct (I got this brand new, and every time I test it's been high), is there a way for me to lower Ca without doing a large volume water change?

I am using Red Sea Ca Kit (not pro version). I’ve been getting values above 480 every time I use the kit…

Is it possible to raise kh without raising Ca? I tried seamchem marine buffer and brs soda ash, but both raised Ca and kH. Both levels are okay. I think phosphate might be a little off at 0.1 and nitrate is pretty much at 0-10 mg/l. I keep my skimmer on all times. Last time when I change my...

Hi everyone, that's for all the tips and support. Sorry I ghosted everyone for few months... Had to prepare for a big exam so didn't get around to do stuff with the tank... So... since last time, most of my SPS die... algae problem went away after I introduced more clean up crew though. Some...

No :( they stick in them pretty hard…
