Picture of zoanthnids

New pictures I set it up differently

I havent done it yet but I have read about how to do it. You will need to culture phytoplankton and you will end up feeding them to rotifers. This is because clownfish fry will only eat live food. At some point, you will need to feed the fry live baby brine shrimp. You can buy the brine shrimp...

Looks like a sponge

There are some hair algae in my tank a slight green algae but I was wondering if they where on to long

I run my lights 8 am to 8pm. I was told that was fine. I only have problems with diatoms.

You want to make the 40 gal a reef? I just went online and looked at what fish I could have in a 40 gal. www.liveaquaria.com has a minimum tank size and u just select the type of fish. Its best to put the fish in from least aggressive to most aggressive. Also depends if you are gonna set it up...

Ya im curious if i can use a phosban reactor and the media if it would help the diatoms?

I think the demensions were 6ft by 18in deep and 24in high. It was nice i got it from my aunt and she had it ten years and then i had it for 1 year. Had to go to this 40gal breeder and had them drill the 2in hole in the middle because i plan on setting it up in the middle of a room. The 120 had...

Ya i might be feeding a lot but its every other day and i have a protein skimmer thats for 200 gal so its keeping it all good and water changes every week. Other coral are doing great and just cleaned tank after that pic.

Ya i use ro/di water for sure looking into getting a ro/di unit to. And i know its young but i had a 120gal that was 10years old and i took the water and live rock from that and i put live sand in so though should be good.

Im almost 100% positive thats diatoms from end of cycle... only been running 3 months

Nitrates and phosphates are at 0

Just to give u a look at it the first pic is the day i got it where i placed it, second is where it moved to with flash, and third is without flash. It looks healthy though.

O that makes sense i should feed it krill or sliversides im guessing or is it not needed.. can they live only off the light.

K thanks it looks like its doing great and my clownfish love it

Do bubble anemones move to where they need to be as far as lighting and water movement go? I ask because i got one 5 days ago and i had it on top of a rock and it moved down to the bottom and then now its back to the same rock but underneath. I read that they need high lighting so i would think...

Ok just figured doing a water change would get rid of some of that bacteria and u would be hurting yourself.... In a situation where u need the ammonia to go down. I do 20% every 2 weeks but recently switched to every week becuase when i moved tank to new home i have had a diatom bloom. Every 2...

Is the tank still cycleing because i have never had a problem with ammonia?

I would suggest not doing a water change because the benificial bacteria change the ammonia into less harmful nitrites from what i understand. The best thing i would say is to get a ammonia conditioner... would like someone to back this up first because mostly what i have read and i have only...

I agree water changes are the best way to to bring everything beck to where it needs to be... the salt mix has calcium and all that in it and you to have to worry bout over dosing.

Just checked water. Ph-8.0 Ammonia-0 Nitrite-0 Nitrate-0 Calcium-480 DKH-8 Phosphate-0
