Hey All,
I Have been having trouble with Fish/Inverts survival.
I don't know if its where I'm getting them from (I've tried Several Places), Or If I am doing something wrong?
You can see my info for my tank specs. My tank has been up for just over 1 year now.
Thankfully My 2 Clowns, and 3 shrimp are all doing well.
But I have had a heck of a time with others.... I have had 2 sally light foot crabs, both have died. a handfull of hermits all have died. Fish wise, I have had 3 Copper Banded Butterfly's die, The Latest looked great one day, and was dead the next. I had a Watchman goby stop eating and die, 2 chromis's get sick and die (This may have been due to the 3rd chromis being bigger, and picking on the smaller 2).
I have about 6 snails, thus far all are still alive.
My water quality is pretty good, I usually don't get above 20ppm Nitrate, and all other pram's are 0.
I don't know if such a thing exsists, but is there a such think as Professional Reefers? You see all these beautiful tanks at the LFS's, and you know their's probably isn't 1/2 as well taken care of. I just wonder if I am doing something wrong, or of something in my system isn't right.
Thanks for the help..
