My 20g reef

Thanks Raven
Jees thats alots of snails!! I try and pick some more up this weekend.

 

Hey guys here are some new pics of my tank. i got 4 green chromis and a huge rock of zoanthids. Check it out!





What do ya think?

 

Nice zoos!
FYI, chromis need to be fed more than others in my experience.

 

Thanks,
BTW what do you recomend feeding them? Flakes,Brine ect. What works for you?

 

I had one for a while and it seemed to like Cyclop-eeze and Mysis. It was one of the only fish I owned that didn't get that excited about Formula 1 or 2. It really got excited about Cyclop-eeze though. I lost mine when my skimmer when out for a few days. I think that was just a coincedence or maybe a final nail in the coffin. I think it wasn't getting enough food. I wasn't able to feed more than once a day most of the time. I think it's one of those twice a day or more fish.

 

Thats too bad about your chromis :-[ I should be able to feed them more than once a day though. Thanks for the food advice.

 

No prob. Good luck.

 

Try feeding a quality frozen food like marine supreme or formula foods. I would also try formula 1 small pellets. Brine shrimp have little nutrional value, its like popcorn to fish.

 

Thanks for the food sugestions. Now it seems like i have red slime. What do you recomend i do? I have done two 20% water changes in the last two days but it came back today so i changed some water again. Should i try some red slime remover product or just keep doing water changes and such?

 

Your going through the normal cycling process.  Just make sure your nitrates are low and your phosphates are zero and it should take care of its self.  Don't leave the lights on more than they need to be and don't over feed.   Also,  do you have macro algae in your sump?  If not, get a bunch as this will compete with the slime algae for nutrients.  Above all, be patient!
