Re: Is my fish suffering from fin rot?


I'm curious about your water change routine. Do you have a regular schedule for water changes? What percentage of the water do you usually change at a time? Also, what kind of water conditioner are you using to keep the water safe for Willard?

Re: Is my fish suffering from fin rot?

I appreciate your response, thanks for taking the time to help me out. I'm a bit embarrassed I don't have a test kit, I know that would be super helpful right now.

Re: live rock vs dry rock for corals

Live rock's a gamble. Got some from a buddy's tank and ended up with bubble algae. Took months to cut it out. Dry rock's boring but predictable. My Torches didn't care either way once the water stabilized. What's your lighting setup, brazier?

Re: Plants for a Low-Maintenance Tank

Hornwort is another low-maintenance option. It grows fast, helps with water quality, and doesn't need much light. Just trim it occasionally.
