3 weeks old? There's your real problem. It's a phase most new tanks go through, and will likely clear on it's own in a few weeks. If it doesn't...
Thanks John. Both my Halichoeres like to be a bit of a pest as well. It's like they get a thrill out of irritating the other fish until they try...
Yeah, IME IO is typically around the 1100 mark. I'm not sure what is the saturation point of Mg in sea water is. That's the real question here....
Nitrates and/or phosphates. Could be from overfeeding, improperly preparing the food you are feeding, or your water change source water/top off...
And you don't need any chemicals to take care of a little cyano. Address the nutrient problem (ie - find the source) and it will go away on it's own.
I see a rock with coralline on it. :) Can you get a more clear picture or point out what it is you're seeing?
All Halichoeres wrasses sleep in the sand, and therefore cannot be kept in barebottom tanks (as you discovered ;)). And yes, they do have quite an...
No wrasse ever holds still :D That's what makes them fun, until you try to take pictures anyway. :P Looking good. Oh, and definitely an Ornate,...
Thank you Kacy. :) The harmony can be relative at times though. :P
Thank you. He's my favorite as well. The canary wrasse (I won't call them a yellow coris as that name is misleading; they are NOT a coris genus)...
Well, a few changes, due to new frags :P Moved the torch from the center to back by the skimmer pump, to make room for the Texas Stunner and the...
Alright, better pics as promised. Texas Stunner and the Palmer's Milli: [IMG] [IMG] The Blue Horrida: [IMG] [IMG] They definitely have some...
Replied in the original thread.... http://www.3reef.com/forums/id/whats-up-my-pom-pom-crab-104273.html#post1073828
Eh, they're probably not fertilized. Honestly, they'll become excellent fish/coral food once the crab releases them. Cleaner shrimp do this same...
Looks like "he" is carrying eggs.
Salinity is a little low, but not detrimental. 1.026 would be better. Nitrates at 20 shouldn't bring too much harm to LPS, but that is getting a...
Not to insult, but can we cover the basic parameter here? Temp pH Salinity Nitrites Nitrates Phosphate Alkalinity Calcium Magnesium
Received, acclimated, dipped, and placed. :) It wasn't "daytime" in my tank yet at the time of these photos, so these are awkward Royal Blue...
Agree now. Plus when I heard "scatter", I was thinking a few seconds, not 10 minutes. Pods are the most common thing I can think of which literally...
1-2 isn't much to be concerned about either. :)
