Porc Chop's Tank

[Hondatek]

Yea I just don't want it to look crowded in there.

 

[FDshoes]

Trust me it won't lol I have 9 fish in mine and doesn't look crowded....granted most are smaller but still.

 

[Hondatek]

My cheato went from a nice clump to falling apart. I have a 6500 swirly light on it when the tank lights are out. Any ideas why this is happening? Only thing I changed was adjusting the skimmer.

 

[Hondatek]

Also I notice the fish have trouble swimming in some areas because of the powerheads. Should I leave that and see if they get used to it

 

[carey]

I'd leave the powerheads for now, most fish will deal with it and be fine. My clown actually surfs the flow in my 125g, he'll go back and forth all day long lol

 

[Hondatek]

Powerhead surfing lol I like it. Better than floor surfing. Do you have any idea what's up with my cheato from my post before that one?

 

[carey]

I saw that post, I really have no idea. My cheato is pretty much in a loose type mess floating in my refugium. Still green as well but not sure if thats what its supposed to do. LOL

 

[Hondatek]

Ok well I'll just keep an eye on it. I know it's working because my nitrates have gone down to 5 since I added my fish so I guess if it's not broke don't fix it.

I think there may not be enough flow in the fuge.

 

[Hondatek]

How would I know that? How would I change it if there isn't?

[Hondatek]

Not if in powerhead mode.

 

[Hondatek]

It's one of the old gray ones not sure if that's considered a power head or circulation pump.

Just put it in and see how the flow feels.

Ok it's video time. Caught my trates climbing in my old tank I guess from moving and catching the lion so I made the call to move porc chop over.

 

[AquaRick]

Looking good! How large is that Lionfish?

 

[Hondatek]

He is small maybe two inches tops.

 

[AquaRick]

Oh wow tiny!

 

[Hondatek]

Ok it's almost been a week since I added fish. Parameters still the same. The water has a slight haze to it not too bad but I still don't like it. Thinking I may need to run some carbon . Should it go in the skimmer section or the return section ?
