If you tossed him in only a week ago, he could still be getting used to the lights. Could also be euphyllia-eating flatworms.
Does this make it strong enough to scrape coralline?
I always kept freshwater fish, from the time I was around 4 until I left for college. I started SW, which I always wanted to do, once my living...
I have a couple, never noticed any problems.
I have a 90GPD MaxCap, and I love it. I have incoming 150~200 TDS, and after the MaxCap resin (first DI) I have 0 TDS. That's before the 2nd DI. My...
Just pointing out, there's quite a few parasites that affect corals as well.
Unless you're talking about a different type of rock (totally possible, just like confusion because of using common names for fish), Texas Holey rock...
It's probably not as porous, looking at the surface of it, but limestone is the same type of rock as our reef rock. Dry base rock is limestone (which...
Change where the trap is located. Put it in a spot you know it walks through regularly.
It's not the same kind of flatworm as eat acros, or that crowd out a tank. There's a whole bunch of different species.
I doubt it's a mantis. I'm pretty sure I got my rock from the same place when I started, and while they say mantis can hitchhike, my rock had about...
Pistol shrimp. The "millepede" is a bristleworm.
Usually it's total drops, beginning to end. With alk of 12.6, make sure your calcium doesn't plummet and your magnesium is high enough to maintain...
Reef tanks range from 7 to 11 dKh. You can think of dKh and meq/l as just two different units of measure, like inches vs centimeters. Alk isn't the...
Plecos eat a huge amount of algae, plus the lower variety of algae species in FW tanks, helps them out quite a bit. There aren't any micros you'll...
Set a trap for it. No lobster is reef safe.
Yes, but consider this. The fish have a period of the parasite being on them that can last from 3 to 30 days. The cyst stage that follows can last...
The water literally "brings" nutrients to the algae. If you have too little flow (which, for the purposes of algae, is pretty low), you won't get...
Try RODI, and add a cichild buffer mix.
Chloramines are just as bad as chlorine, and sit in the water for much longer periods, like a week. Never use straight tap water without a...
