Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Hello everyone !!! Im new to registering here but ive been reading this board for a while now.
Anyways here is how it goes, I live here in the Philippines, Ive always been a fish fanatic, Ive finally decided to start a setup.
My setup consists of a 250 gallon aquarium and a 100 gallon subtank.
About a block from where I live is the ocean, this is where I got everything, everything from the liverocks, gravel (boracay), fish, anemonies and corals. The fish practically swim up to you and there are no laws regarding reefs.
What ive done, I took 200 gallons of seawater, 100 lbs of Boracay gravel and 200 lbs of live rocks, I cycled my aquarium for about 2 weeks, figuring that since it all came from the ocean including the water then I wouldnt have to wait as long.
Ive placed several types of fish that I just caught with a net such as : 10 Yellow Tail Damsel, 1 Parrot Wrasse, 4 Chromis, 1 Picasso Trigger, 2 Saddleback Clowns, 1 Clown Trigger, 1 Porcupine Puffer, 1 Copperband Butterfly, 1 Emperor and 1 Regal (Hippo) Tang.
what Ive noticed is that what spotts have started to form on the Puffer and Clown Trigger, ive taken them out and have them in QT, then for the clowns, this is my 5th pair, every pair that i put in starts to develop a white haze over thier bodies then if not treated they die, this pair that i got right now is starting to develop it as we speak.
To name a few Ive got some inverts, corals and a bunch of hermits.
what am i doing wrong and what can I do to stop this outbreak with the clowns ?
I know i am a newbie and im probably learning the hard way but I would greatly appreciate all of your help.
thanks in advance
