Nice zoos!
FYI, chromis need to be fed more than others in my experience.

I had one for a while and it seemed to like Cyclop-eeze and Mysis. It was one of the only fish I owned that didn't get that excited about Formula 1 or 2. It really got excited about Cyclop-eeze though. I lost mine when my skimmer when out for a few days. I think that was just a coincedence or maybe a final nail in the coffin. I think it wasn't getting enough food. I wasn't able to feed more than once a day most of the time. I think it's one of those twice a day or more fish.

Try feeding a quality frozen food like marine supreme or formula foods. I would also try formula 1 small pellets. Brine shrimp have little nutrional value, its like popcorn to fish.

Thanks for the food sugestions. Now it seems like i have red slime. What do you recomend i do? I have done two 20% water changes in the last two days but it came back today so i changed some water again. Should i try some red slime remover product or just keep doing water changes and such?

Your going through the normal cycling process. *Just make sure your nitrates are low and your phosphates are zero and it should take care of its self. *Don't leave the lights on more than they need to be and don't over feed. * Also, *do you have macro algae in your sump? *If not, get a bunch as this will compete with the slime algae for nutrients. *Above all, be patient!
www.macro_algae.com or check out Something fishy or A world of fish in Richfield MN. If you can't find any macro algae let me know, I always have excess caulerpa
