So I got about 2/3 of the way down my bucket of salt and could that there was a layer about 2 inches thick of solid salt. If I break this up will it be ok to use? It looks like it has a blue tinge to it.
Lost one on my gobys. Not sure what happened. Was fine the night before and the morning that it died. Went to do a water change in the afternoon and he was belly up. Checked ph ammonia and nitrite and all was good.
Was looking forward to seeing the pair in the tank as well
Yeah it's a black one I have. It hasn't touched my acan, toadstool or monti. But he was on the zoa frag plug for about 2 hours then I noticed the polyps were gone.
Looks like he might be getting returned
Really? That quickly? They were in the system for around 10 hours and they opened up after being in the tank for around 30mins and stayed open until the lights went out
I bought 2 zoa polyps to try them out yesterday. However I have woke up this morning and my long spined urchin was over them and now they are gone.
Is this normal? Live Aquaria website says they are reef safe
Little update. Everything seems to be doing fine. I have been doing 35% water changes every other day and keeping a close eye on PH and ammonia. I also change the sponges on my filter daily and once I clean them I put them in my DT sump to gather BB.
All fish are eating a variety of brine...
Finally getting round to making a cover since one of the gobys managed to jump out the tank this morning. Luckily enough I was in the room when it did and he's back in the tank safe. He managed to get out the one tiny hole that isn't covered on the tank ?
A little tip I came across. I downloaded an app called AZ camera. When you use it you can turn up the white balance and it stops the pictures looking so blue
The water seems to be fine now. I have changed out more saltwater for fresh water so the salinity is down to 1.010 now and the countdown has begun. Here is a pic of them enjoying the masstick
Yeah I will need to check when I'm home. I have been doing large water changes every other day and getting no ammonia readings with my red sea kit.
I was away for the weekend so put in ammo lock just to be safe but I changed about 40% of the water when I came back and it was less than 48hrs...
