Hi all:
It's been a long time since I have been on here.
I have a 125g sw tank. Under the tank I have a Wet/Dry system with skimmer. Metal Halide 75w 10k lights, 175 lbs live rock. this set up is around 4 years old.
I have a bubble tip anenome and 3 mushrooms. I have several other fish as well.
My problem is I cannot keep coral living in my tank. I will place them in the tank and within 3-4 weeks they either melt away or just plain die out.
There is no nipping or biting from the other fish I cant understand what is going on.
I am told to use this set of chemicals or that set of chemicals. Usually the information is either opposite of each other. Change your water every month, don't change it. Use this chemical, don't use it. It is frustrating.
I would really like to get into a nice coral reef system but its expensive and sad when everything dies off. :-|
How do I get a nice reef systems going? What chemicals if any. Do I sell everything live in the tank and just start over.
Help, Is there a SW doctor in the house?????
Thanks,
Obmanta
