Re: February POTM - corals :)

For someone just starting out I would Highly recommend only having 1 per 10 gallons. Im sure people can have more, I just would not recommend it. Esp when you just figuring out how to take care of a salt water tank.

I just use a coffee mug or just pour. Then I just mix until its right. Never bothered with the measurements on the bag. Im not sure about your refractometer but mine is one you dont have to get the water to a specific temp, it just tells me to wait 15 secs, then read.

When you added them did you pour in the bag water? If so I would stop doing that.

looks kinda like a ball anemone to me. I *think* they are harmless, but you can use aiptasia x on them if you want

I would just add it let it break down a little (day or so) and test the ammonia. If it spikes you can take it out and throw it away

Did you add anything to start the cycle? A piece of table shrimp will do the trick. Also the bit of nitrates you have could be from the tapwater

the algae will eat up all the nitrates and phosphates in the making your tests have false negatives. Pretty much if you have algae, you have nitrates and phosphates.

Nice fish! The other little guy probebly didnt make it because he was too small and couldnt handle the stress from the move and kole tang. Glad to hear this one is doing much better :)

So jelly lol. I would have bought those lights in a heartbeat esp @ 50 bux!

Looks great! What kind of lights are you running?

Pretty ladies! And a handsome male too Im assuming :)

she looks nice and fed to me :) The scooter I bought looked like she was wearing a corslet (sp?) poor thing was beyond skinny, and i never did get her fattened up sadly

So beautiful :D Im having some serious cube envy atm :)

What do you have in there for water movement? Im not to sure what you could do tbh, the few times I had this happen sadly it didnt end good :/ If you dont have much surface agitation it could be an oxygen problem, but im not sure if that is the problem.

Did you add them all at once? That could have caused a spike which could have gotten your fish sick. with a 15 gallon your really only limited to around two fish and it is too small for a yellow angelfish. Also you should be adding them one at a time with 2-3 weeks in between.

I like fishy just jammed the bottle halfway down. Took a few days, but he eventually got hungry enough to go in the trap

What do you think all the shelves are for? :mrgreen: lol Looks amazing Dennis!

Well if your allergic to bees I wouldnt get one. I have had a zebra lionfish for almost a year now and its all about reading his cues, he lets me know when he wants me out of HIS tank :)
