Hey guys I have numerous questions for you,
Alright well my fish are going missing...so far the count is 2 percula clowns and a mandarin fish. I think something is eating them. Because I know they are both good jumpers but I looked around the tank and all around my room but nothing to be found. I have a very strong filter but the grates are to small to have anything sucked into it. I dont have many corals and the ones I do don't eat fish! so far that leaves one thing...a hitchhiker in my live rock (well thats what im guessing). So if anyone has any ideas as to what is going on I would love to know!
I cannot get corraline algea to grow! I have tried all the tricks and it just will not grow. All my water perameters are correct (including alk. and calcium), I give them both periods of atinic lighting and metalhalide combined with the atinics. I contstantly scrape it off my rock with no filter or skimmer running for and hour with only powerheads running...I have scraped some off at the LFS main display reef and syphoned it up into a bag and "seeded" it into the tank...and so far not a sign of it! If anyone has any better ideas please give them to me!
I bought a couple mushroom corals (purple mushrooms and watermeleon mushrooms) and they come attached to a peice of live rock. Well the rocks do not fit well in my aquarium and I was wondering if they was any way to take them off and place them somewhere else. This is probibly a no awnser but just thought I would ask.
Okay I am guessing that the toadstool coral (Sarcophyton sp.) is a colder water coral. It will not get full open...it semi opens then closes the longer the day goes. It has yet to be fully open even once and I have had it in my tank for 2 weeks now. If anyone living in the calgary area would like to trade it for something I would be thrilled. And secondly how long does it take corals to expand off a base and root onto live rock. Its kind of a dumb question but Im just kind of wondering and I thought you would know.
But thats about it. If anyone has any suggestions to the following please reply back asap...thanks a million in advance!
