water

Unless they are a mated pair, two clowns is not a good idea, especially in a small tank.
One will dominate and severly harass the other.
Two full size clowns are too much fish for that tank anyway.
You could go with a percula and a yellow clown goby which doesn't get much larger than an inch in length, but the perc may or may not go at the gobie. Mine get along great.
A better choice might be the clown goby with a blenny.
Remember to let the tank remain fishless for at least six week, and you can set up a quarantine tank to house the new fish and treat with hyposalinity down to 1.010 for at least 6 weeks before placing them in the main tank.

 

Thanks for the replies. I am going to post a new thread. Sorry. I think the bristle worms are the fire kind. My Spec gravity is always in the green section on my hydrometer. I think I have a skimmer. Is it a piece of plastic that fits on the filter intake to take the brown scum off the top of the water? I think I cycled right. I added salt water for a week, LR for two weeks and then added some crabs and snails. I lost some snails in the begining. My question is could it be my water? I have been using a brita water filter. My water tests clean before I add it. I haven't been testing for phosphorus.

 

Are You Using Tap Water Without Conditioning It? Do U Mix Your Water 24-48hrs Prior To Adding It To Your Tank? These May Be The Causes Of Your Problems.

 

You can always purchase distilled water to make your saltwater. You can buy it at most supermarkets, I believe. Just a suggestion...

 

Hey thanks for the replies. I have been using prime 2 drops per gallon. I read a couple of days ago a thread someone posted about mixing you water ahead of time. Yesterday i did a 10% water change w h20 48 hrs old. I tested it before I added it. I need to pick up a phos tester but nitrites, nitrates, ph, ammonia and sg were all fine. I am going to post a pic under say hello I think distilled water for a 12 gal should not be very expensive maybe I will try it.
Thanks a bunch

 

Distilled Water Is Cheap. You Can Buy A Jug Usually For .98c In Canada So Even Cheaper In The States. That's At Walmart.

 

Cheap? RODI works out to $.05ish a gallon. Bite the bullet.

 

When i bought my house there was an RO/DI unit already installed. If I did not have that I would for certin install one.

Here is a break down in price saying you do a water change ever two weeks on a 90gal at 20% (20gal) "INCLUDING 1gallon per day on top off"

520gal a year in water changes
365gal in top off
Total of 885gal give or take a few gallons

Buying RO/DI water from your LFS(Local Fish Shop) .50-1.00
cost $442.50-$885.00 plus time and gas spent driving back and forth!

Buying an RO/DI unit with a filter replacement once a year.
Cost
Typical 75GPD unit $199.00+shipping
Water cost $1.74 a year(local water company
Replacment filters/membrane 149.80 per year
TOTAL OF $350.54

RO/DI unit installed save between $91.96 and $534.46 DOLLARS A YEAR

IMHO anyone thinking of buying an RO/DI unit do it, this will be the best thing your could ever do. Think of all the money you can save and buy that "CHERRI PIECE OF CORAL YOU BEEN WANTING" Not to mention that you can also us it for your house water.

If anyone want to continue to toss their money away you can send it to me i will be glad to us it wisely. PM me if you would like to set this up!

 

I have been pricing RO/DI units online. The cheapest I have seen was $179. Some one posted a thread about water and all the options and stated units were around 100 but they did not say where to get this deal. Anybody know?
