what's up from SoFla !

Name's Mike. I gotta 75gal hex, about 25 lbs of rock (it's not much but the tank is only a few months old, I'm workin on it). two 48" 40w T12 w/ ballast & 48" odyssea w/ 4-21", 65w PC's & lunars. gold banded maroon clown, purple chromis, 2 dominoes, 1-3 stripe damsel, atlantic sebae anemone, yellow watchman gobie, juvenile queen angel, dog faced puffer, mano and a lawnmower blenny (witch i picked off a local reef yesterday). corals i'm just starting out i have white bubble coral (very little), purple bubble (very little) and 3 zoo-polyps. test for the angel and puffer , neither of which seem interested at all. snails and hermits for my cleaners(which the dog doesn't pay any mind, odd). i already have two ?'s. one of my ballasts for the odyssea lights burned out, but it's a weird setup. it's a one by two electronic ballast for 2-65w str8 4 pin pc bulbs can't find it anywhere. and i can't get my puffer to eat anything other than lance/silversides or mysis shrimp any suggestions on how to keep his teeth down? he won't eat crabs or snails.

Welcome home my fellow floridian. You sure have a lot of fish in that tank. Have you checked your NH3/4, No2 and No3 levels lately? You might be able to find the ballast at Aquatraders Sometimes mixing the food with garlic helps them to eat different foods. Luna

 

thank you. yeah it's alot of fish, but i do alot of water changes, i try to do 20-30 gal/month, but sometimes if nitrates are up i'll do a small one in between. i never let it get too bad.
