Hey everyone...I guess I'm getting back into the hobby a little more after a hiatus (maintenance only kind of situation, with a little fragging). Having a 3 year old, finishing my teaching degree and being a first year teacher as well as starting a little photography business has kept me away from the tanks like I use to. Down to the 72 gal bow planted and the 75 gal SW reef. Maybe reverse MTS from 5 to 2....
Anyway, I cannot keep shrimp, and can't explain why. No medications, very little supplement except target marine snow 1x week. Fish fed blender mush and algae sheets. Any ideas would be welcome.
Test results:
PH 7.9ish - 8.0
Temp 78 constant
NO2, NO3, NH3 - 0
PO4 - 0
Sal - 1.025
Setup:
75 Gal show
4x65 PC w/ ML
100 # LR
4" DSB
75 Gal Sump
29 Gal Fuge w/ Chaeto
1 Yellow Tang
1 Gold Stripe Maroon Clown
1 Royal Gramma
2 Yellow Watchmen Gobies
Lots of snails and hermits, some emerald crabs
Clove Polyps, Shrooms, Zoos, Pink Starburst, Moon Brain
Few Aips (what...those AREN'T desireable....)
