Update: The last member of my tiny fish family is a beautiful little maroon clown. He was living in a giant rose bubble at my LFS so I hope he becomes acclimated to my sebae. My sebae has replinished all his zooxanthellae and is now a healthy spotted tan/brown color. At the LFS store, he was...

Real cheap sneakers from China! This sounds amazing! ._.

I am not an expert, but I would take out the live rock and scrub it down and then let it sit in a bucket of salt water with flatworm exit, rinse it again, and then put it back in your tank. Since you have no fish yet and it is only a 7 gallon tank, I would think it would better to remove the...

If it cycles again, the linckia will definitely die. The goby and the damsels would probably live. Just check your levels daily so that you can get them out before levels get up too high.

You may have bought a sick/weak anemone in the first place.

Those cartridges are like $7 for a 2-pack. So, that is like spending $3-4 a month. That isn't expensive at all. However, you can rip out all the workings of one of the biocube cartridges, go out and buy a large pad of floss(they have activated carbon, phosphate reducing floss, ammonia reducing...

Originally Posted by QuiltingMom I did my first water change yesterday when I tested and found that my nitrates were at 20. I did another water change today and still the same nitrate level. I've only had fish in it for about a week and a half. If the nitrates are ok like this and won't harm...

2 flakes! No wonder why your shrimp are eating your coral.

Buy some phosphate reducers. I had an outbreak and bought Phosguard and it cleared it up. Also, turbo snails are good to help fix the issue.

Thanks! Then I guess my refugium is doing it's job. New update. Saw a bristle worm two nights ago:( I tried to catch it but it was too fast. I got a piece of krill and put it outside it's hole and when I went to go do something, I come back and I see the dang shrimp carrying off the krill! So, I...

Oooohhhh! I went today to the LFS to perouse their wonderful selection of frags. Well, they had a large piece of LR with some polyps on them. But, inside the LR was a colony of tiny brittle stars. There were easily 4 I could see. So, I bought that sucka. I go back every week to look for some...

Nah, not worth scrapping your old one for 1/2 gallon more. I would maybe go with an 8. Those tanks aren't that big and can easily sit on a desk.

If you have no fish and aren't adding any food to the tank then there is no nitrate source to feed the chaeto. Of course it is going to die! It has no food.

I haven't had my tank over the winter yet but I would just suggest buying a cheap water heater and just sticking it in the portable water container and match it with your tank temp. Or, go to walmart and get a cheap, portable heater fan and just run it on the bucket or whatever you keep the...

Originally Posted by rcdude1990 how do u acclimate the fish? also its very wierd to have a fish jus completely vanish, try to look everywere in the tank, fish turn pale and can blend in wit the LR but if u notice a fish die try to remove it ASAP, cause it might cause levels to rise. Have you...

Well if the pump was off then the gas exchange was pretty near non existant. Depends on how big the tank is but if it is small and there are a few fish in there, they can exhaust the supply but I don't think that soon. I think something else is to blame as well. Since they didn't do research...

I don't think correcting his/her spelling will help him/her fix the problem he/she has. Lets not be rude to someone who genuinely needs help.
