I know its not super lighting, but my wife really wants a anenomie or coral that a clown will swim in.... We already have the clown.
I have 2 55 Watt an 2 65 Watt power compact bulbs.
I recently set a timer up.. and iv only been keeping them on about 8 hours... is this not enough? Should i bump it up to 10-12 hours?
I do not have a refugium either.
I was very nervous about ordering live fish online but i decided giving it a try since the nice fish store i wanted to go to is almost 2 hours away and id spend just as much.
I got:
10 Nassarius snails
20 Astria Turbos
2 Mexican Turbos
5 Emerald Crabs
1 Clown
Everything is doing wonderfully...
How often do you guys stir up the manually?
Iv been running my fingers around just sifting the top inch or so around, i do this before every water chance, I do 5% water changes every week.
Should i be doing this or not?
In 2 weeks i will be away from home for about 5 days, whats the best way to keep the tank fed?
The tanks lights are already on timers, i would only be worried about the fish getting food.
salinity is 1.022 id have to check the other parimeters.
I have a margarita snail that has been alive since i last bought the turbos.... i think some of them fell off the rock and laid upside down for a while which would kill them, i dont know if they can starve to death but i think we bought 10...
hmmm we didnt have a tang at the time.... they were very very small star polyps.. I really want to get some zoos to add some more color to my tank but i dont wanna throw away money if this thing is gonna eat it.
I bought rock from a LFS a while back and it had some star polyps on... Days later they were gone... I suspect from my peppermint shrimp but dont know for sure, i dont know if hermits would eat them...
But im thinking about buying some zoos from this site... UNLESS whatever ate my polyps will...
I was wondering for shipping reason, i dont know if they over night orders or what, i need the delivery Wednesday because ill be home all day to sign for it.
I still have plenty for several different species of hermits, i also have 2 black brittle stars, and 1 red brittle star. So im looking for Snails.
I read somewhere that mexican turbo snails live long? Well all of mine were dead in a few months... Whats up with that?
I also have some very small...
If anyone has the skimmer i have a question,
My injector screw is firing water in all directions when i twist it...
The directions say that when you install it a few drops of water should come through thats normal.... but this is not a few drops... its like a i have a sprinkler in my living room...
Iv had my flower pot since November i guess... The arms on it seem to be breaking/tearing off... Is this it spreading or dieing?... I assume dieing...
Should i just let all the arms fall off or just remove it now?
My Seaclone skimmer started leaking so i took it off the tank, and ordered a Aquac RemoraC skimmer off ----. It wont be here for alittle over a week. Will my tank be ok with out the skimmer for a week or 2?
Anything i can do in the mean time?
