FTR, I banashed 3 sl crabs to a 'rogue' tank after the second fish disappeared in a week in the dt. Once all the fish were gone from there, they...
If you just bought them, I'd take them back right away and ask for a pair that's not infected. But maybe that's just me.
With a tank that size, you might be ok with 2 at a time; just wait a week in between and keep a close eye on your ammonia. Safest would probably be 1...
Beautiful adds! Congratulations. :)
+1 You might, however, be in danger of increasing the bio-load too quickly and causing an ammonia spike in the 220 by adding all of them at once.
That's pretty awesome!
Don't know if it's your problem or not, but one issue I've read about and experienced is that during shipping, certain components of the salt mix...
Well, I don't know what the researchers are doing wrong, but I've been using activated carbon in SW tanks for 37 years and have never had a fish...
Wow, that last colony is getting huge! Very beautiful. Thanks for sharing. :)
I'm not very good with algae. I once had 5 types in my tank, could only ID 2- gha and cyano. The pockets in your sand bed look like worm tunnels....
Congrats on the adds. Very nice. Glad to see it back up and running again. :)
That's cool. Personally, I think the humahuma is the prettiest trigger out there. Good luck with him. :)
Actually, I have read that it's good for triggers (and puffers) to be fed shrimp with the shell to help keep their beak trimmed. Didn't realize you...
Exactly. Distilled water would be your second-best option. You should be able to find that at a Walmart or even a supermarket or convenience store....
Keep feeding them, they will grow.
+1 You definitely want organic veggies. Commercially grown non-organic produce is usually treated with pesticides and who knows what else during the...
You should have a 6500K bulb for macroalgae. Also, do you have any livestock in your tank? If not, then you don't have any nutrients for the chaeto...
I wouldn't worry too much. Nems are animals with a desire and capability to survive. Wherever they are, they will attach to something fairly quickly...
Two rules I live by: 1) A job worth doing is worth doing right. 2) It's easier to do a job right the first time, rather than having to do it over....
Yes, as long as you don't find a micro brittle star on your arm while you have the frag out of the tank, it will be fine. :)
