Man I wish I took a picture
Last night I was looking at my tank and it finally getting back to the point of enjoying it.
I had an real bad case of the ugly phase.
I have lost 3 fish during this stage as well (my flurry clown still going strong)
I increase my CUC with more snails and hermits...
nice looking pair. They will be shy at first but soon will be out. Once they find their 'home' they will hang out there more than anything. I'm lucky my current Flurry decided to make the front center of my 36 his home so he is always out front.
Well I never tested the LFS water to see where their water at but *knock on wood* I never lost a fish that wasn't in the tank for at least a couple of days.
ok well I been having issues with keeping fish in this tank. I will need to start testing again to see what is going on. I have a Flurry Clown that been in the tank for 2 months and 5 days without any issues but I lost two baggai cards (one after a couple of days in the tank and the other was...
To tell you the truth and I don't suggest doing this unless YOU WANT to. I don't do dip acclimate on any of my fish, corals, or shrimps. I just float the bag to bring them to temp and then add them to my tank (after a dip for my corals)
The problem I mainly had with netting fish was trying to net them in the bucket. I felt (again no data to back it up) that it cause more stress for the fish. Also in my 54 I had tangs and they would get stuck on the net and I had one other fish get stuck on the net.
With my 36 I decided to...
I found this to work well because in the net the flop around getting stuck in the net at times. This keeps them in water for longer and maybe (no data on this yet) less stressful.
I used to do a net but just recently I took two tub-o-ware that sit inside of each other. I then drilled many little holes in one of them. I then dump the bag with the fish/coral into this tub-o-ware. I then carry both tub (the one with holes inside the other without holes) to the tank. I...
Well I really need to get back onto working on this project. I just scored another Pi2 for free (my brother had a spare one) so time to look into adding other options
