My friend (who has a canon 60D) was over so we took some pictures of my fish

As far as I know, 3000 k or less is the best for scrubbers. Anyone else?

So i wanted to build my algae scrubber a long time ago, but I never got around to it. I finally finished it 2 weeks ago. So far the growth has been really good. Algae has just about covered the screen. I made it out of a sterilite plastic drawer, and it is gravity fed straight from my...

2 weeks.

Bought 2 chromis from the pet store, from the same tank, at the same time. One of them eats everything he can, but the second one isn't as interested. It swims around near the bottom. How do o get it to eat?

But it doesn't explain why they are totally missing the food.

I was wondering if they were blind, but I don't think so. They respond when you move your hand outside of the tank.

i don't have a recent reading, except for salinity is 1.024. ammonia is acceptable. my other tests have expired (i was using test strips, which i know now aren't very accurate)

My blue spotted toby and my cinnamon clown completely miss the food when they try to eat it. This is a recent thing, because before they both used to jump at the food and eat as much as they could. Now they miss it 9 out of 10 times they try to eat it. Why??? They appear otherwise healthy...

wondering if anyone knows why... he has a couple of spots on his fins. he's been picked on alot by a bigger clown. Is he just stressed?

Lower Kelvin temps cause algae growth. I have 10,000 K bulbs on my tank. Also depend what look you want. Higher Kelvin bulbs means more blue light.

Yep. I get ocean water. 1.026 every time.

If it has not been cured already, this would be a good time. The die off from the rock and the rotting shrimp would cause a good ammonia spike. Just make sure everything tests at 0 before you put anything alive in there.

Going to build one myself...ill follow this thread!

Sounds to me like they are becoming a mated pair. The one doing the twitching is submitting to the other one, which will become the female.
