good to know i dont have to drip that long for future reference. i thought i would try to compensate and let him kinda get less stressed but i guess it back fired. lesson learned. ill pass it on.

what do you think is easier to keep alive and healthy? anenomes or corals any type of either.

i did a drip line for 2 1/2 hours, and yes the lfs had just gotten the goby in the day before. also i put some chaeto in and did a water change so the nitrates are super low.

ya its 1.025 sorry. and i have live sand.

i see him dead, no ammonia spike though. thats why im wondering if maybe something happened once the lights went out. or something else.

i bought a diamond goby last night to help maintain the sand and he was good, working away when i went to bed. i woke up this morning and hes a goner. what happened? he was good. all the levels are good ph 8.0 amm 0 trites 0 trates 20 sg 1.25 my inverts, nems, corals, and other fish are fine...

ive had the fish for 5 days. i just did a water change yesterday with ro/di water hoping it would help. the levels are good ph 8.0 amm 0 trites 0 trates 20 sg 1.25

my true perc was fine yesterday and i just looked and his right eye is swollen. what's wrong?

i had a rock with hair algae on it, i had gotten it from a friend. i scrubbed the algae off (dont want it to spread). i just want to make sure the tank stays clean basically, kinda getting ahead before i end up behind type of thing. i know i have a cleaner for the fish, and some for the rocks...

72 bowfront

are there any fish that would clean like that, too

i need some advice on a clean up crew. i need something that is reef safe. i have a gbta, 2 true percs, a cleaner shrimp, a peppermint shrimp, about 10 blue leg hermits, a tiny brittle star, and corals. i want something to clean the sand well, and the rocks. what should i get?

omg, that is great to hear! i just got t5s yesterday and my anenome looked so much better after i put them on. my true percs love it, i dont know what they would do without it. i did just have actinics and it looked decent but after the t5 was up for awhile i could tell it was doing so much...

im not sure yet. he has the legs for it but i have room to hang it i think ill just see how things go once i get it here. either way its not a problem.

ive remotely heard of this and have seen them in the lfs but what are they, what do they do for the tank? and do i need one?
