We have a Blue-Green Chromis in with a pair of O. Clowns and they get along great. In fact most of the time they are swimming around together as one...
All my water parameters test fine except PO4 which reads <.25. I'm assuming since I'm running ClearFX Pro and getting film algae on the glass that...
They definitely look like the first pic you posted. Thanks
I know you can't tell from the pic but they are actually pink not brown and when it's closed up it just looks like a bumpy piece of coralline...
My wife picked this up at our LFS yesterday, but didn't remember the name of it. The tentacles were retracted completely when we first got it....
Both great !! But if I had to choose one I would go with number two.
It's the one that comes in a presealed bag, so no tie. I guess it was just too much flow. I still can't find any leaks and when I run my hand over...
So after hearing so many great things about Purigen I decided to try a bag of it in my canister filter. Rinsed it, checked for holes or seam rips,...
I'm a complete noob but it is my understanding that shrimp are much more sensitive to bad water parameters than a Chromis. I'm wondering if the LFS...
Did about a 50% water change and my levels are ammonia=0, nitrites=0 and nitrates~15. Forgot to add, I would really like to thank everyone for your...
Once my nitrites hit zero would it be okay to do a 50% wc followed up by a series of 20% changes over several days and how low should I try to get my...
Checked my levels today and I'm at Ammonia=0, Nitrites=.25, Nitrates=~30 and I'm getting brown spots on the sand, rocks and glass. :)
Thanks for the replies. I was just asking because that article contradicts just about every other site, but then again I do have a lot of respect for...
I have always heard that almost any level of nitrites could be lethal to fish, but then I ran across this article Nitrite and the Reef Aquarium by...
Probably my biggest two mistakes the first time were not doing enough research and listening to a bad LFS. "Sure that tank's big enough, just dump...
Thanks for the reply. No diatom bloom yet..I figure it's still a ways out there. So when would you say a cycle is complete, when the...
I started cycling my 40B six days ago with 40lbs dry rock and sand using API Quick Start and by adding enough ammonia to equal 2ppm on the API test....
Are you talking total ammonia or free ammonia at those amounts? Right now in my cycle my total ammonia is at 2ppm which should make my free ammonia...
Thanks all for the replys :) Last time we tried to rush things and had constant issues, this time we are going to take it slower and hopefully end up...
