Did an Lugols (iodine) dip and a small water change. Nitrates are at 25ppm. I also have the skimmer up and running now too...

Didn't have a skimmer attached since all I have is a coralife super skimmer that is a bubble factory but I figured out a way to route the return into my hob filter so the bubbles don't make it into the tank. I am hoping this will help with the nitrates. I always used to run a skimmer but when I...

The leathers are on the opposite side of the tank though so that can't be the problem. As for the nitrates, I am unsure what could even be causing the issue. As of now this is my stock list: 1 Sixline Wrasse 1 Royal Gramma LPS, Softies, and Leathers 1 Sally Light Foot Crab 1 Porcelain Crab 1-2...

I have a 26 Bowfront tank (21" tall) with 4x24w T5-HO Nova Sundial Lighting on it. I have been having problems with my LPS corals. I have softies and leathers that are doing fine as well as a clam with no signs of problems. I have candycanes, hammers, frogspawns, a plate, open brain, galaxia...

Royal Gramma is happily swimming in the tank now! Its the girlfriends fish and she named it Lola. I also got a tail spot blenny and it is now in QT so if all goes smoothly like the Gramma it will be in the tank on November 12th. No new corals lately as I haven't been looking hard because now...

Been a little while... Just got done doing a water change and moving stuff around to make room for the clam and brain on the substrate. I think it looks pretty good but I again don't have the girlfriends camera to post it. I have been having a little nitrate issue as well that I am trying to get...

Yes it is rather nice! Just what I was looking for

Originally Posted by spanko If the clam is happy there, mantle extending, reacting to shadows going over it, leave it be it will be fine. I think it may be a T. dereasa which is another clam that lives in the substrate but if it ain't broke, I say don't fix it. No the open brain on the right...

Girlfriend already left for work and took her camera back home. I need to tell her to keep it here and if she needs it she can borrow it. I will get a FTS next time I can get the camera from her. LFS is gettin me another Royal Gramma and I will have the lid on the QT this time. I run my DT...

Originally Posted by meowzer The royal gramma jumped from the QT??? That sucks.....maybe you need to place a piece of eggcrate over it I have a top for it but I didn't like it because I cannot flip it open with my lights on it. I guess I will have to suffer and put it on. I don't wanna lose...

Well the Royal Gramma decided to jump tank and I found him lying on the floor this morning, dead... In better news I just got home from the frag swap and also got to use the girlfriends camera again.... I found SWEET clam! I have been looking for one since mine died from a temp spike.

Sixline is healthy and in the tank and I now have a Royal Gramma in QT!
