Re: sharing thoughts on fish stocking

Update on the new additions - the canary wrass is a real winner. It's got a lovely yellowy colour, similar to a tang, and it's always zooming about like a mad thing.

sharing thoughts on fish stocking

Hi all,

My last post vanished before I got much feedback, so I'm hoping this one sticks. I'm not familiar with fluxx, but I'm eager to hear your thoughts.

I've got a 3ft by 2ft by 2ft tank, plus a 140L sump - that's 360L in total. I'm curious to know how others manage their stock levels, as some ...

Re: Acan coral care and troubleshooting

It's now day 3 but I'm seeing some improvement today - the swelling's gone down and I've got sweepers back. Thanks for the reassurance, guys, I feel a lot better about it now.

Acan coral care and troubleshooting

It's been like this for 48 hours now. No changes to the environment whatsoever.
Ca 440, ALK 9.2, Mag 1440, PH 8.2, Temp 79.2. All parameters are rock solid.
I don't target feed. I'm doing 2x daily Broadcast Reef Frenzy. 5ml of Zoo and Phytoplankton once a week.
