Ok thank you!

Hey guys! Once again thanks for all the support, after losing all my fish, with my new QT I’ve got three fish back in the display tank now and they’re ich free and healthy :) loving it I’m going away from my tank for 2 months (don’t worry my brother is now a reef keeper haha so he’s looking...

Ok thank you that’s really good to know :) yeah I’m using Red Sea coral pro salt. I usually keep Ca at 410, Mg at 1250, and Alk at 6.5. So I think I’ll get a little bit of Alk dosing going

Thank you I’m still testing parameters because I think I’ll need to start dosing now once I start LPS. Any suggestions for dosing method? Brands?

Thanks for your advice I looked at these Chinese LED options and they’re quite affordable so something like that could work. Is it ok if I just light half my tank and leave the corals on that side? I have a 40 gallon QT. And ok I could get a chromis or small blenny in there to provide waste for...

Thank you I’ll go ahead and try a 65K fluorescent daylight white bulb on a clip on desk lamp. Any “easier” LPS corals you could reccomend? I’m making some space in my DT away from the soft corals so the LPS will have space in future.

Ok so the natural daylight bulbs from most hardware stores are sufficient to keep LPS corals alive then? For 76 days? Once they finish that they’ll be in my DT with with T5’s Thank you :)

Hey guys! So while my fish restocking is good, I was thinking about moving on from soft corals only and adding a few pieces of LPS to my tank. Parameters wise I’m measuring pre and post water change to see what levels it managing, and I don’t think I’ll need to dose initially but maybe in future...

Hey guys I was feeding it primarily nori, and omega one algae rounds. Every third day I’d chuck in some omega one pellets. The Chromis finished quarantine so it’s in the DT now and doing well. Also my 16week fallow worked lol, no signs of ich on the Chromis after 2 days. Finally! Got rid of...

Thank you for your help :) Dangit I was very keen on this lawnmower blenny and I thought I would succeed with it because it was eating pellets. Oh well back to either looking for another pellet eating LMB or maybe I’ll get a Midas blenny or something.

Ohhh, that was probably the chromis then. That Chromis eats anything. Just checked the chromis again it’s still fine. Scales and fins in perfect condition, eating well and swimming normally. Well I guess if the Chromis has no signs of disease it can safely go into my DT once quarantine...

Yup that’s right it wasn’t in the pvc piping. It’s been hiding there for the past 2 days and refusing to leave it, even to eat food. I’ve never seen that white mark on its belly before for the past 5 weeks I’ve had it. Well it looks like the skin peeled away and revealed white underneath maybe...

hey guys My LMB, after eating for weeks, stopped eating, started hiding more and more, and now finally died this morning. It has a white belly with skin missing. I’ve posted some pictures. Could someone please help my identify why it died? And also what this means for my Chromis which is also in...

Ahh I’m sorry to say it died. I’ll ask in another thread about disease/

hey guys I have a chromis and a LMB in the QT, they have a week left in there. The lawnmower blenny was eating fine when I added him to the QT. He was eating pellets, nori and omega one veggie rounds. As I’ve done more water changes he’s becoming increasingly shy. And now for the past 3 days...

Hey guys I’m on week 2 of my LMB and chromis quarantine. Do you guys have any suggestions for vegetables that the LMB may like and how to prepare them? I just thought since it’s eating pellets, veggies rounds and dried seaweed, id give it some fresh food.

I’m feeding it nori, veggie rounds and pellets. I brought one that ate pellets in the store. It eats everything so far :)

Thank you I’ll just have to wait for this LMB to be less shy then

Thank you :) Yeah I’ve got the LM blenny eating nori, omega one algae rounds and pellets. Doesn’t seem to eat mysis but fair enough he’s a herbivore after all. The chromis I find eats anything. I find it difficult to distinguish ich and other diseases on a blenny due to its coloring, but I’m...

Thank you Yes very well cycled I made sure of it after my last fiasco ammonia up till 4ppm then I just left the shrimp in till it turned to mush. Had the fish in there for 1 week now and no ammonia readings with nyos :)
