That is exactly what I have. I guess ill just wait it out since it is normal in the process. Ammunition,nitrite,nitrate are all 0. Ph is 7.9. SG is 1.020. 76 degrees. Just don't have a phosphate tester. ammonia not ammunition....my phone chose my word.

I forgot to mention,that with this algae I have also noticed a funny smell with my water.

So my tank is maybe 2 months old and I now am getting rust like algae growing everywhere. Should I be concerned? Should I get snails and what kind?

Im just curious how often I should feed my fish? I have two ocellaris and a green chromis. Im asking because they seem to act hungry when I dont feed them 3 times a day,but I heard some say they dont feed but every other day. Also,being my clowngish are young,do they need to eat more than adult...

My clown fish are very picky eaters. I feed them flakes and brine shrimp. When I feed them flakes they pick out colors they like,so most food settles on bottom. When I feed them brine,they tear it up,but they are so small I know they also fall to the bottom and both of these will only cause harm...

DustinTx, Sorry to hear about the ich - glad it seems to be better. Did you have them in the main tank from day one? How much water did you change? I'm inspecting them everyday. My ATO is keeping my salinity and levels stable. Working out really nice! Tank parameters are still good, no nitrates...

I agree with him on this one. Get rid of damsils!! Personally i feel ocellaris clownfish are the way to go. Also,did u buy and add all three fish at the same time? If so,that was a bad idea,especially on a very new tank. I started with one fish and worked my way up. Basically like he said,its...

Get a timer for ur lights and an automatic feeder before u leave.....problem solved!

Looks good. I also added two ocellaris 2 weeks ago and within a few days they had ich,so pay close attention to their eating habits and salt like stuff on them. I ended up doing a fresh water dip for them and a water change and within two days the ich fell off and they were eating again and...

Awesome,thanx for all the input guys. Ill look into the background as soon as my check comes in. Clownfish rock. I wonder how old they need to be to spawn. Either way its fun to watch them dance,lol.

Looks like you're off to a good start. The clowns don't need PVC, they'll find something they like and make it they're host, and they'll decide what that is. There's no guarantee that they'd even use the PVC as a host if you did put it in. My suggestions: Don't rely on the UV for disease...

Bought it for potential ich. Now I need a new bulb....any suggestions? I was looking at a t8 for my 20gal tall.

A basic surenge without a needle and squirted lemon juice in their mouths. They instantly turned blackish grey and died. So if anyone has a problem with them,do this,but only do a few at a time as the lemon juice will affect ph if u do too many at once. I had 6 and have killed 5 so far with...

Well my tank is doing great and looks great! Ill check parameters in a bit,just got home from work.

Exactly! Tests are right and brand spanking new too! It did go down 40ppm after water change because I checked it again like 2 hours after water change. It the same thing as some people getting a fowlr to run good with just a hob filter....weird,but not impossible.

Im doing them exactly as instructed. With cycling tanks it is possibible to get false readings from time to time,relax guys. But it is a 20tall tank and it did bring it down. Maybe false readings,so no water changes for a week and ill just keep testing and see where it goes.

Yeah,i changed 2 gallons and my ppm went down to like 40. Thanx guys
