Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
Maybe a dumb question but since these rocks have been in the tank since February, added Dr Tim’s bacteria then as well as other things noted, waited about a month before adding the clowns, haven't they gone through the cycle process, i don’t understand why pulling them changes that? Is it a...
Thanks all for the tips. Rock was from another member who broke down another’s tank but it was all dry. I brushed the dead stuff I could and soaked it in some old tank water but I’m sure I didn’t do a great job as prob too excited to get rank going. Going to try a sea hare next before more...
Water is the Petco imagination 5 gallon pacific water, not sure if you mean I should be testing that for phosphates or other water parameters before adding?
Thanks all for the tips. Absolutely Fish has a few sea hare’s so I think that will be my next step and then if no go will have to try the lights out for a few weeks, I’ve only done a couple days at a time, and then maybe onto chemicals after that if need be but trying not to. I feed pellets...
32 g bio cube after many months of battling this green hair algae problem I am officially asking for help. Recent pics attached. I think I have tried all but chemicals and today after many many tests of zero phosphates I see a 4ppm (yes 4ppm not 0.40ppm) phosphate reading. I also just lost my...
Ok so my black clowns have been hanging for a couple years in my 14g biocube. Added a new zoa this summer and been noticing they have been all around it and now they are sleeping on it, hanging and playing like it’s an anemone. Are they just clowning around, having babies, random?
Sorry if I’m not following, so you think the angel was sick and the clown perished due to the angel?
It was a Petco (Ramsey) purchase. I ensure I don’t introduce their water to my tanks but I do get fish at petco’s especially this one was such a beautiful fish.
Oddly enough I can’t find any...
Thanks all, no quarantine tank, salinity ok. The remaining clown is doing ok currently. Good to hear it should not be power head related, figured just they get sick and then are not strong enough to escape or it grabs them once gone but seemed odd both times in short span.
32 gallon biocube setup mid-January. Have had a couple clowns for a bit over a month, a cleaner shrimp and added a flame angel ~2 weeks ago. Everyone eating fine, clowns not paired but were hanging together off and on. Came down this am to find we lost the angel overnight (found him against...
Thought this guy succumbed to an anemone after I was away for a week and then came home and didn’t seen him out for a few days. Finally yesterday I saw him hiding in a new spot being extra shady as has become pretty personable after being in the tank for about 2 yrs. He appears to be down a left...
