Yeah, Ewww either way. I was just trying to make it easier. Any organic matter such dead fish, scallop, ....... meaty foods that decay will...
If it's not spreading I would not. If you hate the look and want to risk stressing it more for it to look better, that is a risk. You could get a...
Could be a culprit, not the most likely though. There is no easy answer why fish suddenly die while looking otherwise healthy and in a tank with...
The tank looks really beautiful. I would not start moving rocks. If you find the fish and it's dead, not much you can do about that. If it's alive...
You can use just plain old fish food as well.
For sure test for it, lets you see what a cycle looks like, even though cycles are all different.
You might be on to something there.
Now that has to be one of the silliest names for a coral, but it's a beauty. I like the white and pale yellow corals a lot, I can just never keep...
I like the scape behind curtain 3 the best.
Hopefully it will stop losing tissue, if not you should probably consider fragging. A pH of 8.2 is a good value. Now you have to run down the SG...
It probably did to some extent. If you can not test for alk and can test for pH then try to get a pH value. Since having this problem more than...
That nitrate value is not your problem. My tank would be full of skeletons if it was. But hey why check the alk?
In my experience only, this is usually caused by difficulties with ALK. I see tissue loss at the base rather than bleaching. Often called STN (slow...
It's not uncommon for fish not to eat during acclimation, this can go on for several days. Smaller foods such a mysid and cyclops is probably more...
Look forward to the images. I am right there with you, planted tanks intimidate me a little too, but man they are beautiful.
Welcome to 3reef. :) Sounds like a cool system.
Forgot to include my favorite link: Reef Aquarium Water Parameters by Randy Holmes-Farley - Reefkeeping.com Also if you can please post Alk levels.
It would be much better if it was between 7.8 and 8.2-4. If this is a fish only than I would not be too concerned but with corals it should be higher...
Welcome to 3reef! Love the goby image. Do the round things ever move? Can you get a macro shot? It a tad too blurry for me to make out.
Mine have ruffles too.
