Wow ! Sounds like you got to the fish just in time. Sounds like the addition of the lemon caused a bacterial bloom, clouding the water and taking up...
Usually that is a sign of algae growing on the tips, the birds nest may need more flow. I would also check parameters and phosphate levels.;D
Diatoms perhaps ? Is you system newly cycled ? If that is the case most likely diatoms and it will pass as the tank ages.
Probably just a run of bad luck, but just incase I would watch out for bullying from the dottyback and the clowns.
Weather you do a water change or not, just add the livestock slowly. The nutrifying bacteria will catch up as long as you do not add fish or inverts...
Sounds like a nice tank. I would not be too concerned if they are new, sometimes they just take a while to acclimate and get comfortable. It has been...
I would look out for aiptasia, majono anemones, flatworms, any invasive corals such as cloves, xenia, gsp. The rock should appear cured and covered...
Duncans love to be feed and mine do much better when feed. Mine do not like a strong current and have done better lower in the tank. The feeding...
Yes, try to get a smaller clown just make sure it is eating and looks very healthy, as you already know they sometimes go through an acclimation...
Actually at this point I would worry more about the six line getting aggressive. Since the clowns are very young they are probably ok for now but as...
That looks really really nice. Love the firefish.
I was going to try sugar. And no I would not recommend carbon dosing for tanks without a skimmer. Nor is it my intention to influence others on...
Nope::) I got a duncan which I really really like, a pink birds nest and a nice purple montipora, and a nice hydnophora. I saw some nice toad stools...
Thank you fisherman. ;D
It is a six month old Phoenix. I cut back on the photo period, and I got better growth and color, just a silly experiment. No dosing, no skimmer,...
I keep mine high in the tank under a 14k MH, mod to low flow. It has gone through many color changes. Currently it is more reddish with a green under...
This tank has been through many changes, it started out as a sps and clam tank, with a HOB fuge, tunze skimmer. After about 1 year I decided I was...
Some nitrates leave the system as a gas (nitrogen), this is why it is good to have some surface agitation. The nitrogen cycle can be a little...
Usually cynobacteria in older systems and diatoms in newer systems.
That is a lot of phosphates. Anything over 0.05 ppm is too much for me. Unless you are adding something that contains a lot of phosphates like some...
