Rock turned brown

+1 2 weeks is VERY early to add 2 tangs and a clown! Especially ones that will need rehomed soon and susceptible to bad water quality! i'd get some prime, about 3 big totes, and get alot of water changes ready!IMO

 

the tank cycled for 6 weeks before i dropped a fish in

 

75lbs of live rock...adding another 20 soon

 

Both those tangs need a 180g!

even so, 2 weeks after a cycle is really soon to add that amount of fish!

make sure ya cure it if necessary!

 

Thanks, LFS told me it was ok

 

lol, of course they did! Just get prepared, just in case! hopefully they plow through ok for ya!

I saw my LFS send a lady home with salt, instant cycle and a mandarin to convert her freshwater tank! I don't go there anymore!

 

Those fish do need a much larger tank, the hippo min. 180 and the naso should have even larger than that, min. 220. But they are in there now, that;s why I suggested looking into an upgrade very soon . That is a lot of fish soon, but you may be okay, just keep an eye on your parameters.

I wouldn't trust that LFS anymore, just make sure you do some research before you purchase a fish. There is plenty to read here online, and of course we are always here to help if you have any questions.

 

Lol thanks for the heads up!!

 

Tangs tend to produce more waste then other fish we typically keep in our tanks.

I must of missed the post cycle piece. I am glad it cycled first!

Are you running bio-pellets or carbon at all? These pieces will help keep things stable as well as those water changes
