Hello I want to add to small clarkii to my 120g tank. I have currently 5 fish a foxface, one spot blennie, fairy wrasse, & 2 ocellaris clowns a gladiator and I think a storm. They are maybe a little over a inch. Not to aggressive. I've seen it done in a lot of tanks but I just want to be ok to do it where they all live. Thanks

Ok thanks. I will try it.

How do I check. It's flat to the rock and very small. Will I just be able to touch it and feel for it.

Anybody know what this is. I had 2 rock flower anenome about a year ago that disappeared when my tank was in bad shape. (bad water) I also had a very big colony of Duncan's that was that same color. It just showed up out of nowhere. Any info is appreciated.

Thanks. What are cowres

Thanks I will start adding more cuc. Just a FYI I've had 2 urchin, about 20 hermits, and like 6 trochus. The urchins died, hermits killed the snails I believe then hermits died. 🤦🏾‍♂️ so I don't know what happened. And I had like 10 turbos in beginning buy they would commit suicide. Kept falling and can't turn over.

Thanks for info. I've had the tank about 4yrs now. I bout it from a guy while it was still up. I took probably 50% of his water and started with the rest new water. When I 1st got tank it a as doing well had livestock and coral growth. Maybe like a year in I was loosing fish at every water change. Lost coral, nems u name it. U can look at my past post to kind of get more of a story. I was making bad water at 1 time I fixed that. Now I can do water changes without any deaths but I had bought a scopas about 6monts ago and I think he gave my tank velvet. The only fish that live was my foxface and wrasse. I have 2 cardinal and a 1 spot blennie in qt now that I will use to make sure I can keep livestock in about 3 weeks. But that's pretty much it. I have a toadstool that was nice size and pretty now its laying down and hardly has any tentacles open. My leather mushrooms are doing amazing. But my gsp is not spreading like I think it should be. Hope this gives more of a picture. Thanks.

Hey I am almost at the point to sale but I love the hobby. I have been dealing with this algae problem for a while. I used to have a real bad hair algae problem that I manually removed by acubbing the rocks each time I did a water change. Had tank looking pretty decent but it's coming back. I've shorten my light cycle rearranged my flow but still by the end of week its right back on sand like I never cleaned. I'll post my numbers but my livestock is a foxface and a fairy wrasse, fire shrimp, 3 turbo snails, 2 trochus & 3 snails that bury in the sand. I have a skimmer running carbon and phosphate sponge. Thanks for any help in advance.

Thanks for info. I will keep updated as I go. As of right now I don't have any nems. I want to get but I'm dealing with a algae issue. I had a nem that had split into 3 pieces. My buddy gave it to me. It was cool for a bit then it didn't like something. Kept moving and shrinking up. Eventually lost all 3. Was a bummer. So i want to try without nems to see if I can accomplish it. We will see.

Thanks

We're they the same size when added?

Hey Wamas Fam, I have a question or seeking advice. I want to have 2 pair of clownfish in my dt. I have a 6ft long 120g tank. I want to know if I can 1st successfully do it in my tank. Most of the tanks I see that have it are 250g+ 2nd I want to have 4 diff kind of percula so do I need to get 1 pair one size & the other pair a diff size. Or can I get them all the same size. 3rd should I get them at same time or diff times. I have a qt but I would preferably want to put in dt from beginning. I'm restocking my tank. Had a tang die and I think put velvet in my tank. I have a foxface and fairy wrasse that survived. They are back looking healthy and I think I'm in the clear. Been bout 6mnths since that. Did alot of water changes also. I have some cuc also. So that's my question sorry for the long 1. I'm open to any suggestions or advice. I can move rocks around and do egg crates if needed but I would rather do it without if possible. Thanks in advance. Oh last question if I do separate with egg crate and have them pair. Is it a possibility once the crate is removed will the pairs try and change?

That would actually fit my schedule better. But wouldn't that be more stress and swings each time

Ok I have a 55g sump with a protein skimmer. I'm running phosguard and carbon also. My livestocknis a foxface, scopas, kole eye bristle tooth, cardinal, fairy wrasse & 1 clown right now. I had emeralds and recently 2 purple urchins, but they died along with my emeralds. Oh I have a fire shrimp also. My levels were good last time I checked. I will check again, but a Buffy said that by me having the algae that my nitrates are false readings. It is getting better but it still grows that tint of green across everything.

What type of algae scrubber do u have.
