I started with a 5 gal. fw. from a friend, soon went to 10 gal. 15gal. and then a 30. had the 30 for10 or 12 years, then caught salt fever 4years ago. HOOkED
Look at the fish on this site, then look them up on line to see how big they get, before you buy. Hope things work out better for you next time around.
Your temp is good, your Your salinity is low, for a fish only,I think it should be at 1.23, for reef at 1.25. Buy more live rock,1 1/2 lbs per. gal.RO/DI unit is a good thing.
I bought one put it in my tank, and didn't see it fof two months. I found it in my overflow put it back in the tank, only to find it in the overflow again.
No a emerald crab will not work.Sounds to me like you may have a flow problem. How big is your tank? You may want to add 2 small power heads.Also you need to use RO/DI water for top ups and water changes. do a 10 or 15% water change every week untill you get things under control.Cut back on...
You need about 1 snail per gal. Also you need to use RO/DI water for top ups and water changes. do a 10 or 15% water change every week untill you get things under control. Lights should be changed at least every 12 months. Feed every other day.
