Who Gives A Fish Forums

River rocks are usually safe, but testing never hurts. Better to be cautious than deal with a crashed tank. My Corydoras had issues once from a bad rock, so I'm extra careful now.

Apple cider vinegar has a lower acidity than white vinegar, so it might not be as effective. I'd recommend sticking to white vinegar if you can. What kind of rocks are you testing? Some are more porous than others.

Here's the tank today, not much change as you can see. I'll start target feeding to see if that's the trick. I've been feeding a mix, mysis, Formula 1 and 2, pellets, and Rod's a few times a week, but maybe I need to focus on the LPS specifically.

I've been in this holding pattern for what feels like an eternity - well over a year, more like a few years now. Ever since I made the jump from my small 29 hex to the 75, I've struggled to get my LPS to truly thrive. SPS and Zoas, no issue whatsoever, but LPS just won't budge. They'll survive, but ...

Judging what's "average" for growth is tough, given all the variables at play. What kind of new heads/growth are most people seeing?

I've got an older pic from May:



It's not exactly thriving, and to be honest, it still looks pretty similar now. I'll have to grab another pic when I get home from ...

You shouldn't worry too much about stings, I've had my Fuzzy Dwarf in a 30-gallon tank and I've never been stung - although, I think he's convinced I'm always there to feed him.

When I first got him, he was at my LFS and seemed to eat the cleanup crew he was with, so that's something to consider ...

Which species of Dwarf Lionfish are you referring to? You weren't specific again.

Dendrochirus Blazulipterus, the Fuzzy Dwarf Lionfish, Dendrochirus Zebra, the Zebra Lionfish, and Dendrochirus Biocellatus, the Fu Manchu Lionfish, are all beautiful species with unique needs, appearances, and ...

I'll grab some pics later when I get home, this is all I have on my phone for now.

Here's my supposed green milli from about 6 months ago -

Fast forward to last week -

Cell phone pics, gotta love 'em

My N levels are around 10, don't have reliable testing for P so I don't bother. Took the carbon and GFO offline yesterday, like I mentioned, I don't use a lot of it anyway.

Morning everyone, just wondering, how's everyone's fish stock looking. I've seen a lot of people, like me, who struggle with getting those colors right, but still manage to get decent growth going.

Honestly, my colors are pretty bad - only my green slimer's looking good, everything else is either ...
