Hi All,
Am terrified we are going to kill all our new little friends.
My wife gave me a surprise Birthday present last Saturday ,Fully stocked Salt Water aquarium purchased and installed by a commercial supplier here in Jakarta Indonesia .It has tank , pump , filter , light , all in one unit.
It contains seven various fish plus anemones and plants and is an absoulute pleasure to view.
concern No 1: water temprature . the guy told my wife that the water temprature should be between 26 - 29 c. If temp exceeds this place ICE CUBES in the tank??? This can't be right ??
Even with the room air conditioner on the tank thermometer reads 30c so we have been leaving the built in light off to try and get the temp down .Gets down to 28/29c. We can't see too much and the anominies are in rest mode a lot . we only turn the light on when feeding.
Concern No 2: Feeding. My wife was given some pre packaged frozen "Blood worms" and a small container of dried fish food . were told to give half a pellet of frozen food in the morning and a minuite amount of the dried food at night . the fish seem constantly hungry and agitated. I think they have been nibbling at the anemones. For two days now we have been doubling the food .Don't know if this helps the fish but we feel a bit better. Will this kill the fish or upset the balance of the tank? They eat everything within a few minuites.
Apart from three "Nemo" type fish I havn't recognised anything from the brief look at the Photo gallery .
Desperately need some guidance here .
Thanks and Regards,
James
