Oh, ok, and yea, I would wait until your parameters are back to 0 for ammonia and nitrite, other wise, it's a waste of salt IMO as you will probably...
I disagree, IMO, its a combination of both. I would not do a water change now, I would wait until this mini-cycle is over, then do one. Agreed,...
Cycling a tank with a fish isn't necessarily that bad and does have its benefits such as a steady waste cycle, however, rock is perhaps a more humane...
Have you made a decision yet?
Nice looking corals. That first one looks like an ORA bird of paradise that has had a little too much light. The second one looks like it will be a...
Yea, I'm glad that I have two large chunks of the monti, I will be making some frags of it in the not too distant future.
Ok, well it sounds like it's not bleached but dying and receding. Sounds like your doing everything you can.
I'm still confused whether it's just bleaching or if it's actually decaying and dying? I have a watermelon chalice that bleached, meaning it lost a...
Ok, I wasn't sure if they were just empty or not, just wanted to give you a heads up.
Cool tank and fish. I don't know if it's applicable, but the snails you have look like astrea snails and some of them are on their side. They can't...
Hey guys, sorry I didn't post pics sooner but I've been really busy. Here are some pics. The rainbow monti was a colony on a large frag base that...
I should start being more careful, but I usually just temp acclimate, maybe add a little tank water then place in the tank.
Welcome, lets see that tank now.
As Dingo said, no big deal. You can wedge it or give it to a friend. As for growth, it depends upon the tank conditions. If it was growing pretty...
Usually if you have to ask if you are overstocked, you are. I think your list is fine except for the 3 tangs. As they grow it will get pretty crowded...
Cleaner fish or shrimp don't necessarily eat ich, they can help keep fish clean of parasites, but they may not necessarily do it. The tank is a much...
This hobby requires a lot of patience and knowledge. Ask as many questions before you setup your tank and read as much as you can about livestock,...
I choose the filter b/c you can easily run carbon or GFO too. But IMO, you will need more then a maxi jet 1000 for circulation.
If it's been in there for 5months, then it's not shock from just introducing it. It could be pissed off for some reason. It should regrow quickly.
You can dose Mg sulfate or sulfide alone for a while, but it's best to combine the two in the recommend ratio, I think it was 5:3 sulfide to sulfate....
