Thats what I thought . When I get my nitrates down a bit I`m getting another goby. Im thinking of starting with vodka . Ive purchased a bottle but Im doing a water change tonight before I decide wether to use it or not. At the moment I`m of the opinion that it cant do any harm. Such a small...

After removing rock displacement including the water in my sump I have just over 3 gallons per inch of fish

The heater isnt the best spot for it . You need a meaty feed. mysis or a small piece of raw prawn feed to its tentacles and it should take it to its mouth/rear its self.

I will do as you have advised and do 15 to 20% water changes weekly from now on. I have a pump in my sump to remove the water and a pump in my garage to replace the water so it is easy for me to do anyway. Hers a picture taken now.

Only ever used RO water and my nitrates have gone up very recently from about 5 to 40 but I did loose my file fish and never found about 2 weeks ago. sorry and I feed 1 cube of mysis daily and I feed with pellet automatically through the day. smallest amount it will give.

I do a 30% water change every other week . My parameters last week were. Ph 8.1 Kh 120 Gh -10 Amm 0 Ntri .1 ( trace only) Ntra 40 Phos -1 I have a 250 ltr tank that has been running for 18 months before that I had a 100 ltr Nano for a year that I upgraded to this. I dont have a lot of corals...

Ive been loosing quite a lot of colour out of my tank recently . I have changed my salt and up till now only done 1 50% water change . I have now checked the iodine content in my tank water and it as low as low as it would go on the scale. Below 0.01 when I think that it should be 0.06 I now...

Can I put my return pump in my conservatory some 2 meters away from my sump . The humming sound is doing my head in. Heres a rough diagram of what ive got and what im about to do . will it work. The pump is a 1262 eheim .

where do they normally frequent in your tank . My porcupine seems to only bob around near the surface.

If you seed your sump with copepods and you run with a U.V. light will they still arrive in the main tank alive and well . Sorry to ambush your thread iba but it seemed like a good thread to ask.

Mine is exactly like your first diagram . Except 3 is 5mm lower than 2 . Dont know what difference that would make though . Also 2 and 3 are 10.5 ish inches

I saw my mandarin eating frozen food in the lfs . Got him home and he started on my copepods . Never ate frozen food again and he starved to death . Hope you have better luck.

Ill get ready for the next time he appears , if ever , and take a proper picture with a camera.

Yes thats him . The eyes are the same and the gap in the back is the same . Thanks Im glad its not a nudibranch as the last time I had them they ate my soft corals before I new to get them out. When I said fast I meant for a snail like critter . He was only about 15mm long and it took about a...

Looking at my tank tonight I found 2 new crabs 1 new clam something moving deep down in a hole in the rock and this little fellow . I saw him move up the rock and disappear down the other side . Moves in a jerky movement but quite quickly . What is it. The photos were taken with my iphone so...
