Hello from San Antonio

Hi frem San antonio... I just got a Red Sea Mas 34g... It's my first salt water tank in about 15 years. I was stupid with my first tank... it was too small and I rushed it to death!!!!!

I've got live sand, and about 15 pounds of live rock so far. Can I put cleaner crew in an uncycled tank?

My Green Chromis skim the surface of my tank at night. When I turn the lights back on, they have a different color, splotchy! After a few minutes with the lights back on, their color is back to normal! What's going on?

thanks
Ceazer

 

Welcome to 3reef. If you are cycling the tank then there is no need for lights on, will only fuel algae right now and I doubt that is what you want.

 

Welcome to 3reef......... You a spurs fan =)

 

welcome to 3reef some fish camoflauge themselves at night, but I've never see a chomis do it. probably nothing and like I said camo for the evening so the big boys don't come and scoop him up.;D

 

This is cool

;D Howdy again... GO SPURS GO

Thanks for all of the quick replys! I didn't know that the fish camo. themselves, but it makes sense! Any insight into why the chromis hang out at the top of the tank at night? I thought they were supposed to sleep in the rock?

Also, I'm getting some merky water in my skimmer, but no bubbly stuff. Is this ok?

 

not real sure but my one baby chromis, that's still left, hangs out in the top back right corner of my tank.

 

Hello and welcome aboard

 

Welcome to 3Reef>>>>>>

 

thanks again... Can I add a cleaner crew or individual to an uncycled tank?
