My New Tank

No it's a 55g

No nitrates still? Not sure if I read all the posts, but have you tested for ammonia or nitrite. That's a shame an lfs would sell you a tank and fish like that and sya it was no need to cycle. Unbelievable.

Best of luck to you. Do some reading pls before you make another move. You'll be happy you did. And don't ask those guys at the lfs anything.

Yeah I tested and there is no nitrite nitrate phosphate or ammonia

It is a shame that his lfs was willing to do this to make a buck.

Well, a 55 hex gives you some more livestock options but is still to small for the lion and foxface. The issues isn't always gallons, its the tanks footprint. Hexagon tanks have a small footprint, therefore active fish run out of space to swim. As mentioned, please do your research when you buy livestock, you can't trust 90% of the stores out there. Good luck getting your tank turned around. Fishlore.com has a decent list of common fish species, you could look on there and see if there is something you like.

They won't take back the fish eather

 

[Purevil21]

Post them on Craigslist, but they should atleast offer store credit. Especially given that it was their fault for lying to you, you should point out that they misled you.

I'm having the same problem returning an anemone that they told me was perfectly safe for clown fish. Store is just not budging.

These stores should be put out of business for bad dealings.

Is it good that the algae growth is in my tank?

 

[Brough5754]

The algea

 

[XxVooDooxX]

I believe that is due to the cycling of the tank

 

[austinsdad]

Brown stuff is diatoms. All new tanks get it. It'll go away on its own. Do not try to add critters expecting them to eat it.

 

[Purevil21]

Ditto, it should clear up in due time. Patience is the key with sw tanks.

This is turning out to be a very healthy hobby for me. I was lacking that quality and this has proven to be challenging but needed

Im sure if you ask to speak to the owner about returning the fish /anenemes for store credit they with if they dont explain your situation and if all else fails ask them if they really dont want your business over the coming years then give them your number and ask them to call you after they decide most logical business owner relize the money they will make long term is worth it especially if only giving you store credit.

I'm not worried about it I made double what I paid for the two off of craigslist

 

[Brough5754]

Luckily it It is just diatoms. Probably due to
Cycling of the tank. You have a lot of fish that have a decent bioload.( they poop a lot) they might stay for a while but do water changes and if you can I would recommend getting a sump. IT HELPS SOOO MUCH. And your lfs are a bunch of cheap jerks wanting to make money from a newer customer
