big problem-i think

Wouldn't worry about water changes unless parameters rise, looks good now.

 

Red Sea Marine Lab-that Was Late Last Nite-will Have Up To Date Parameters Asap!

Thanks

 

i have the feeling like your tank will pull througj. as everyone already said, keep an eye on your prams and water change when needed.
and take the buying privlages away from your other half...

 

Thanks Everyone At 3reef For The Help

 

OMG....I would KILL my husband if he went and bought fish for my tank and dumped them in. Aside from that...you'll be ok. Be carefull with the feedings, rinse your frozen food as it tends to be high in nitrates.

 

We got the tank for my husband, but he's lost touching rights...he can top off with ro/di water (because the bucket is too heavy for me to lift when it's full) until I get an ATO...and sometimes scrape algae off the front glass! He is also allowed to take pictures when the LIGHTS ARE ON only!!! He doesn't know how to turn the flash off on the camera and scares the inhabitants of the tank taking pictures of brittle worms at 10 PM.

He will never again go to the LFS and come home with something like snails that won't right themselves or fish that are too fragile for beginners...our cardinal that he bought lasted a week.

I love him...but he is too impulsive! He wanted a coral beauty today (my tank is too small, will probably stress it out) and then a cherub angel this afternoon and I was like...NO WAY are you getting a fish that might even think about nipping my corals...

 

Love it - the tank was bought for your husband and now you wont let him touch it lol

A 25 gallon tank - IMO a small pygmy angel would be fine.

edit - just realised you set it up on the 23 may. So im wrong, leave it 6 months and then a small pygmy angel would be fine IMO

 

My rule of thumb when it comes to fish, is 1 per month. I do not want very many fish...more like a variety of interesting corals and a few fish to make the kids happy. They of course want a clown...

I just got a rainford (court jester) goby that is in quarantine for two weeks. So it'll be at least another 6 weeks before another fish is added.

 

Ummm, sounds to me like hubby needs own tank...

Get him his own on next birthday/anniversary (whatever) --- then tell him to keep hands off yours...

 

I really believe that the bio load caused the issue as this tank probably just completed cycling and initiated another mini cycle...I think a water change would interupt the process. Just my 2 cents...
