I just purchased some zoas and they seem to be doing great in the 5.5 I bought a condy and it didn't do good in the 20 I've notice coralline growing on the glass small spheres here and there but I got a lot of red slime due to me running my lights to long. I'll start shopping for a ro/di and skimmer Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2

Ok I think I know why they anemone was doing bad....my salinity was terribly low I did a 60% water change in my 5.5 with the seawater and its doing fine......I tested the sea water before I used it and it came back at 0 ppm but now after the change it's around 40 ppm so I'm going to do another big water change Friday. My tap water tested at 10 ppm so I'm going to you 2.5 gallons of seawater and 5 gallons tapwater in that and see how it goes Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2

No your not of base at all i need help and i know its something im doing wrong im just glad to be getting help I use: Salt: IO Lights: T5 & Marineland LEDs I admit I leave my 20 on to long that's why I have the red slime but I don't get that in the 5.5g and the nitrate is the same Food: ocean nutrition from reef flakes San Francisco Bay Brand frozen Feed: 3x a day as much as they can eat Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2

Ok what about purified salt water bought some from petsmart I'll test it before I do a change Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2

The tank cycled on Dec 6th, i'll invest in the Ro/Di since I'm starting to really add corals i'll step my game up, poor Condy looks like it needs a V8, my zoas in my 5.5g seem fine and are adjusting well Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2

Ok until then I'll test some distilled and mix it and do a 50% change and turn lights off for a day. Thanks I appreciate it Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2

Gonna be in the area wanted to check out new stores Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2

I have a 20g long, with 15-20 of LR I have a HOB filter with carbon &cheato, would me doing 5g of Ro/Di from the lps help Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2

Ok gang my nitrate has been a issue since I started my tanks months back, its never got below 80ppm, I've never lost a fish but not that I've added a anemone I think its struggling. I started out with tap but have done a few changes with distilled and it stays high. What can I do cause I'm getting the red slim algae all on rock & sand Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2

Yeah its the small blob left center Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2

I don't think so, the current starts right but bounces off the glass going back to right where it was so it should have moved North/East instead of South/West Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2

I switched it to my tank that had brighter lighting, but the tank crashed and it turned to goo. But I noticed today the goo moved to a different part of the LR, is it possible for it to regenerate? Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2

I think its due to a mixture light, I'm guilty of way to much light time and nitrate, it stays between 40-80 ppm cause I started with tap water I guess, I'm gonna do a 48hr blackout and 50/50 Ro/Di water change Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2

I don't know what the heck this is its like the algea has incased the bubbles Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2

I call him Lestat he hangs around like a vamp or hawkfish which is pretty cool Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2

He eats glass shrimp, and he stung me on the knuckle last week, I reached in to get a dead shrimp and I thought a LR fell on him, went to grab it and he hit my finger. Had a delay reaction then it kicked in, wasn't that bad though. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2

Just wanted to share Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2

Ok I'll go there tomorrow Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2

I got em from House of Tropics, couldn't find the shrimp you mentioned so I got Silversides and Krill, see if he'll go for it Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2

What's a good live food until I train em on dead? Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2

he's been exploring more and more I tried feeding him shrimp on a stick but he wasn't going for it Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2

couldn't find the frogfish so I got the fuzzy dwarf, he was a awesome deep burgundy in the store and instantly got pissed and faded lol Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2

I went today for the first time, its spooky thought someone welding a chainsaw was gonna pop out but they had a nice selection, I snapped a few pics, they actually had a flame hawk I may get seemed a lil washed out but might give it a try Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2

I'm doing research on all of em, Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2
