Thanks for identifying them for me.
My parameters are as follows:
Salinity 1.024
Phosphate - 0
Nitrates - around 10, can never tell difference between shades (hopefully chaeto and water change will lower it)
Carbonate hardness (KH) - 10 dkh
I didnt test nitrite and ammonia because everytime I...
Im new to acclimating but i dripped acclimated the shrimp very slow for an hour. Here are the pictures! I left a comment or question for each one so if anyone can answer some i would appreciate it.
Nassarius snails trying to eat my dead astrea. Thats how I finally knew it died on me. :(...
WELCOME! I like this thread because maybe i can get some opinions for the back chambers too. Right now i have:
Chamber 1 - stock sponge and filter floss on top. I hate the sponge but right now its holding the plastic i put in against the bottom and middle intakes. Anyone with an idea of what to...
Yea i agree with eric that the new aquascape is better for the fish to swim through and such. I always have that problem with my aquascape too. I always feel like it can be better but then dont touch it because i dont want to make it worse.
I bought a clownfish, skunk cleaner shrimp, and another blue leg hermit crab. My first hermit crab didnt seem to be getting a lot done since hes tiny so i bought another. Also, as soon as i added the clownfish the damsel was trying to beat him up. Removed the damsel for now until i can figure...
That looks good! I really like the bow on the tanks because it seems you can see at all angles. With my nano the corners that curve you cant really look into the tank since everything is stretched/blurry. I was actually thinking of the goby and pistol shrimp combination. How do you like that?
Thanks for the offer for the cheato. If you were close by i would definately be knocking at your door for some lol.
Yesterday i noticed my astrea on its back so i turned him over to help him out. He hasnt moved and now my nassarius snails are all over him. Is he a goner?
Yea I really dont know what it is either. I did a 2 gallon water change and I seem to be getting some coraline growth(purple and green). Found another tiny featherduster also. Clean up crew seems to be doing good. Ill try to get better pictures soon. So I think i may have a couple of bubble...
Time for an update:
Purchased a small clean up crew two days ago. Consisted of 2 astrea, 2 cerith, 2 nassarius, and a blue legged hermit crab (atleast thats what i think they are). I will probably get a cleaner shrimp in another week or so after i do my first water change. I might buy another...
Im trying to decide what to do with my chambers but cant seem to figure anything out. I know sooner or later i want chamber 2 o 3 (cant decide) to be a refuge with chaeto. Today i got filter floss from Walmart (hope its the right kind). I also cut pieces of plastic to cover the bottom and middle...
