I have had a ~2.5" Power Brown Tang in my 46BF QT for 30 days now. When I got it, it was quite thin (which seems to be common with them from what I...
Not unusual at all for a Poci actually. They can become one of the more "nuisance" SPS if there is such a thing. Glad you are getting some back...
Beautiful, love the scape!
Eh, your alk and calcium are high as well. How do you check salinity? You have to be around 1.028 with those numbers...
What did you add exactly, and how big of a bottle? What else did you add for a source of ammonia and how much? What is your current ammonia reading?
Hi, and welcome to 3reef.
Heat is only an issue during the summer with a completely closed top with no sump or HOB filter. Very few SW tanks are setup this way, so heat and...
Basically as you stated, it is the random flow that is big benefit. Regular powerheads just provide constant, linear flow. Ideally you want random,...
That's not Dino's. Sure looks like diatoms to me. Dino's are stringy. This just looks like a coating over rocks and sand, which would be diatoms. Can...
Well, rare in captivity and rare in the ocean are two different things. Most times the fish are just in remote, deep, protected, or any combo of...
I was good with everything else you wrote, but the above is not entirely true. With a large/strong enough unit and slow enough flow, UV can be...
Really, Pseudocheilinops ataenia aggressive? I have not heard that one yet. Quite the opposite in fact. But I have no personal experience either.
What are your other parameters? What salt do you use? What do you dose (if anything)? I am betting it may be a testing error as well. I personally...
Agreed on both. Flame Angels are not nearly as hardy as they were once thought to be. All should be quarantined for at least 6 weeks minimum IMO....
Sorry guys, just saw this now. They are just not nice fish. Once established, they can and will terrorize any new additions, as well as turn on...
You could do a Midas Blenny if you wanted a yellow fish still. A smaller Fairy Wrasse or any Flasher Wrasse would be fine two. And you already have a...
My thoughts exactly. At the very least you should keep all new fish in an acclimation box until they don't show any signs of aggression. It won't be...
Check out the Halichores genus. While not exactly similar, there are several that have somewhat similar colors and patterns.
Welcome to 3reef! Your idea of starting off slow is great. Honestly, slower the better. The more time you spend reading and researching, the better.
I second the spray paint comment. That is what I did on some of mine.
