lion's den starting to build

And from what I read you prepare the food to eye size, cause ik they digest very slow and can cause gut rot and should only be fed everyother day

 

I don't add selcon, as not enough reaches the fish, IMO. If you have a dry product that will absorb the liquid, that is fine, but otherwise, skip it. I pack vitamins into shrimp, silversides, guppies. I also love to dose the whole tank with vitamin C as they absorb it right into their bloodstream through their gills. Most fish diets are deficient in vitamin C.

Agreed with the eyeball size food. They found smaller food size items in the lion's stomach, when they were given a choice of sizes to ingest.

 

What type of vitamin c do you use. And how much do you dose and do you just dump it in or slowly add it. A link or label pic will help alot on this
Ill make sure these fish live to thier fullest life

 

BRIGHTWELL VITAMIN C

I believe Renee uses this one at twice the bottle dosage when used as a tank additive. She can confirm, but I'm pretty sure that's the dosage...

 

Oh oops, I thought i answered that. Yes, that's the vitamin C I use. I've tested it and it's still potent.

 

Cool ill order some on my next round of orders
I should be getting tank wet soon all my equip will be here on friday. Only thing I forgot was my ato and heater lol ill get a reefangel and 2 50g heater rather have 2 50g then a 75 for safety just incase one fails the other can still keep it steady till o get a another one

 

Well tank is up but come to find out my mag 7 isn't strong enough. So after talking to DFS I am exchanging it for for a mag 12 which is 880 gph at 3-4' and my overflow is rated for 900gph. so it will hopefully be here soon and I can start the cycle and maybe Greg and renee will have thingswithstings.com done if not I maybe wait just alittle. I wana make sure I get high quality preds


Ps will have pics up later tonite

 

Aw, that's sweet of you to say.

 

well a little late but here are the pics you can shoot me later but hey better late then never

then sand is a mix of argonite and black sand a 2:1 argonite to black sand
and most of the rock is DIY rock.

the sump is a DIY
the light is my mothership lol
im waiting on my mag 12 pump to arrive, an eshopps 900gph dual overflow, using an aqua lifter with a spectrapure ATO and a eshopps psk-100 skimmer
i plan on using macro algea
Caulerpa Paspaloides
Portieria Sp.
Gracilaria
Botryocladia
Halymenia
Padina

these will add color and more life and not to add the benefits of a extra bio filter

 

Everything looks great! I really like your choice of substrate.
