Hello From WA state!
Yes, I've also been wearing gloved anytime I reach into the tanks to avoid pokes if I can. The yellow tail is pretty and so good at hiding, I have no idea where he could have gone right now, but I did create about 5 caves to hide in my tank. So I don't think I will see him till the lights come...- davisni

Hello From WA state!
Vendor you have been very helpful, I will reference back to your comments when its time to move. I got the Turbo start for my tank and mistakenly got 2 damsels, the yellow tail killed the smaller 4 stripe damsel today, ripped off its tail fin and 2 other fins also. Should have read more about...- davisni

Hello From WA state!
Thats really good to hear because my mom lead me to believe its the worst thing you can get in your tank, I think its kinda pretty when it hasnt taken over. The corals and fish have thrived, I would guess its been about a year its been growing and their mushrooms, xenia and other corals have...- davisni

Hello From WA state!
When I was there on friday night I couldn't find his test kit so I have no idea, but I can take my kit with me when I go down there in the next couple days and find out where all the levels are at. Since I'm so new at this I actually don't know how to remove the corals and not kill them. Is...- davisni

Hello From WA state!
Is there another solution that isn't so much a quick fix? I posted some photos above of my dads tank and I really would love to bring some of his rock and corals into my tank and keep it balanced. I understand that the algae will grow if I don't take proper care of my tank. Without going into...- davisni

Hello From WA state!
So chemiclean will get rid of whats there and then once I bring stuff to my tank the only way to not have it reoccur is with my own tank upkeep, which i fully intend on keeping my tank as healthy as I can. For years my dad never had an issue, but since he got sick he hasn't been able to care for...- davisni

Hello From WA state!
Question for all you experienced people! I went to the biggest local saltwater store here and the person recommended Chemiclean treatment for the red cyanobacteria in order to cleanse my dads 120g tank so I would be able to bring some of his rock that has mushrooms and other types of corals...- davisni

Hello From WA state!
Ok, so my tank is set up and running. I've got all my equipment running, sand has been in since Sunday, I received my Fiji live rock today and cleaned it up and got it into the tank.

Hello From WA state!
My Dad has a 5 gal bucket always with the aerator so i set up the same thing. Do you have a brand recommendation for the Ro di units? I don't know that my dad has anything like that so I would like to do some research- davisni

Hello From WA state!
That explains a lot, I went to my dads last night to take care of the tank and the salinity was over 1.028. Its only been 3 days since he last added water, so when I added his bucket of declorinated water it went down to 1.024. I was worried it was still too high but now I understand it needed...- davisni

Hello From WA state!
Took me a minute to figure out that he has a Randall's Anthia, and my tank is going to be too small for him. I'm thinking it won't be good to bring him to my tank, moving will be stressful however but to also put him into a tank thats only 36 gal when he has been in a 120g would also be added...- davisni

Hello From WA state!
I don't really know the life expectancy for clown fish and anthias, these are the last of my dads fish and since he can no longer care for his tank my goal is to care for the fish for however long they live and continue to build my reef and add fish along the way. I definitely know that I don't...- davisni

Hello From WA state!
Right now I've just got sand in the tank since I'm waiting for my fiji rock to arrive this thursday. I have a couple small pumps just for water flow, the fluval 205, reef octopus skimmer that I thought had a sump, and overhead Led lighting. Over the weekend I added my salt to the dechlorinated...- davisni
