Speaking of the show "Tanked" did anyone notice the Lemon peel angel fish and the Flame angel fish in the same tank? think that episode aired a few weeks ago. I think it was the Tropical Smoothie tank build.

Well it looks like the mushrooms are happy again. They've perked up and look like they did when I first put them in the tank. The LED lights are dimmed and now they can live happily ever after. :)

Thanks for your input. I've dimmed the led lights and the mushrooms are doing better. I did notice today that one of the mushrooms moved from the rock it came on. Its hanging upside down off of a piece of live rock. It must like that spot.

Hi Everyone, its been awhile since I've been on the boards. I have recently added soft corals to my FOWLR set up, I have a few zoas and some button polyps all doing great. My mushrooms seem to be shrinking, they looked amazing for the first month they were in the tank. Here are my water params...

Hi Al, how awesome that you have so many surviving babies! I'm hoping after this leak ordeal that the pair will settle into their own new tank by themselves and start breeding again. I dumped my rotifers-no one to feed them to. I defintely know how to grow them now. At one point you could just...

Hi Al, As of right now, my fish have beat me in the battle. I had a batch of eggs right before the holidays, she did lay the eggs on the fake wall.But within a couple of days she ate all of the eggs. There were only about 20-30 eggs in this batch. She's not laid any eggs since then. I took the...

Ok that makes sense. He is tending to the ones that are left, I'll let this batch go and let them both get used to the wall.

I have the Ocellaris clownfish. I looked at the eggs again this morning when the light came on, looks like they ate some, only about 15 or so eggs left. I've not changed her eating/food at all. I think the fake wall threw her off. Right before she laid the eggs, she was swimming back and forth...

My fake wall worked, she laid her eggs in the silicone on the bottom corner , but she only laid it looks like 20-30 eggs, way less than she usually lays. So. should I let this batch go,, or will they be ok? was it the fake wall that possibly could have thrown her off? The eggs look healthy...

I checked my ammonia in my rotifer buckets and it was .25ppm. wasnt sure if that was too high or not, so I added some amquel. I'm using the RGcomplete twice a day to feed my rotifers and harvesting them, so hopefully I'm keeping the ammonia down somewhat. I will order the Chloram-x when I need...

Hi Al, thanks for sharing your photos-how awesome!!! I actually was going to ask you to post a photo of your water with the rotifers in it. Mine didnt look like that. I only used about 2 cups of water:,whatever was in the sieve went into the water, not enough rotifers for sure. Your baby fish...

No my water wasnt cloudy at all. How do you measure out your rotifers? I've got another chance for more eggs- they are cleaning their spot off again. I cleaned out everything today, so I'm ready for my next batch.

I have a plastic cup from my brineshrimp hatchery that I use to scoop up the rotifers, I can see what looks like specs of dirt swimming in the water, I also can see them on top of the water. when I use the sieve I got with one of my rotifer kits, I see what looks like brown dirt particles on the...

Hi Bang Guy, I'm catching the larvae in a large plastic(-i call my fish only) measuring cup. Larvae and parent tank water go into the baby tank. I only filled the baby tank 1/2 way up with water this time to. I also tested the parent tank water, all parameters are good. The larvae tank temp is...

Hatch night was last night, I sucessfully caught about 50 larvae, however as of this morning only 2 are alive. I put rotifers in the larve tank, water was from the parent tank, heater works, I had an overhead light on, it sits about 2 feet above the tank not directly shinning on the water. Cant...

Heater works great and I will use the water from the main tank and only fill it 1/2 way up and add my rotifers-trying to take pictures of the larvae attached to the wall but my camera wont focus that close. I did use a magnifying glass and looked at the larvae, i can see their eyes, they...

Ok, its hatch night tomorrow. Once again my clownfish outsmarted me. I made a fake glass silicone wall and they laid the eggs above it-so I will be scooping larvae out of the parent tank tomorrow night. I have 1 large (5 gallon) bucket and 2 small buckets of rotifers going. I can see them when...

Thanks Al, Patience is a definite must in this hobby. I'm just glad after 5 years that my clownfish are spawning. I thought that was never going to happen. Next is hopefully my black and white pair.I will keep updates on this forum. I appreciate all the input I've gotten. Happy Holidays :) SJK...

Thanks Al, your rotifer method sounds a lot easier than alll of the stuff I was reading on the internet. It makes more sense. I guess I was reading to much into it and making it more complicated than it needed to be. I'll let this batch of eggs go :( and get my rotifers going first. I'm set...

Actually my 17yr. old son kept saying that about the piece of glass in the tank. i wanted to try the slate fisrt, but my fish outsmarted me. So after this batch I will put the glass panels in the spot they like and see what happens. How do you save your rotifers? do you harvest them and...
