Both are great. Black cap basslets are prettier but harder to keep and like you said more expensive. They are a deeper water fish. I have an orchid dottie back. It is beautiful and easy. I like that it is captive bred. Both are small though.

Wave tenth is specific to the LEDs used. I’d tend toward a higher blue then the full spectrum just increase lighting slowly, a little bit every day or two.

Wattage is a measure of the rate of energy transfer. Energy isn’t just light but also heat. That isn’t the same with different kinds of lights. If you go to the store and buy an 11 watt LED light bulb it will say on the package it is equivalent to a 60 watt incandescent bulb. What is...

It doesn’t look particularly bleached. It has more green color under the new lights but that could just be the lights. Bleached would be very pale beige to white. With LEDS the Watts per gallon doesn’t really apply. That said Anemomes need a lot of light. They will do better under the mars...

Hell DD has about the ugliest bicolor angle I’ve ever seen on sale for a mere $999.00. Makes a $200 purple tang seem cheap.

Fish only right? I love the genacanthus angels. Not as big as some of the other angels and less aggressive. The Watanabe is my favorite but pricy, a pair sure would be pretty. I also love the Lamarks it is not real flashy color wise but the black and white is very striking under lights...

I’d agree it is bacterial. I’d move to a hospital tank and treat with a broad spectrum antibiotic.

There are a number of possibilities. I quarantine not just to prevent disease from getting into my tank but also to make sure the fish is eating well in an environment where there is no competition for the food. I really recomend getting a 10 gallon QT tank, simple sponge filter heater and a...

Did you quarantine it prior to adding it? What other fish do you have in the tank?

Probably

Just be patient. It usually takes at least 6 weeks to cycle a tank, sometimes much longer.

Ammonia needs to be zero. That is more important than the other two.

Looks a little like early stage if uronema marinum. It is a parasitic disease that chromes are very susceptible to. Bad thing is it can’t be eradicated from the tank like ich or velvet.

Generally consider to be pests that will take over the tank. Either Majano or all anemone.

A 14 gal is too small for even one clown. Certainly not 2. Fire fish would be a good choice and a goby also good.

Probably sand

I like sand. You put the rock in first. It has a more natural look and certain fish like gobies need it.

If it is particulates a filter sock will help. If it is a bacterial bloom maybe, maybe not. The water quality probably killed the inverts. If you have nitrites your tank isn’t fully cycled or you added to much too fast or something died. You had algae issues which the clean up crew won’t...

Unlikely they’ll make it. It could be ammonia or osmotic shock or something else, not much you can do.

They come and go based on water quality. When there is no food for it it dies back, when the food is back it grows.
