    Carlos 60 gallon new tank

    I finally got a chance to take a picture of the tank Tonight. Not the greatest but you get the idea of what the tank looks like these days. So far I have a couple of Perculas, Royal Gramma, Purple Firefish and my new espectacular Sunburst Anthias which I am in love with. At the moment I have...

    Carlos 60 gallon new tank

    Wow, it's been a while since my last post. Believe it or not my tank will be 1 year old next week. So far all I got is my pair of Perculas, a Royal Gramma, a Purple Firefish and a few SPS frags. I will post some pictures soon! :)

    Carlos 60 gallon new tank

    I am concerned about my pH. Since it's getting cold these days and obviously I have been keeping the windows closed, the pH swing has gone worse. Right now it's swinging from 7.65 to 8.35 and that can't be good, especially since I am trying to keep SPS corals. Once the lights turn off, it...

    learned lesson

    Gaby, sorry to hear about your tank problems. Honestly I don't know anything about flatworms so I just wish you good luck! :) By the way, is your flasher a carpenter's flasher? I remember you were the one that suggested that I get one of those but at that time you didn't have one.

    Controlling excess nutrients

    Thanks a lot for the tips Lee. I think my current problem comes from the feeding. I was not rinsing the frozen food before so that is most probably the source of phosphates. Since I have been running my Phosban reactor for months, I was never able to detect it with the tests. Other than that, I...

    Controlling excess nutrients

    I know this is out of topic but I would like to know what else can I do to eliminate the excess of nutrients in my tank? So far I have, doing water changes every week instead of every other week, cleaning my skimmer cup every other day, chaging and cleaning my filter sock more often, stop...

    My male percula

    I mixed the nori with some frozen foods and they have been eating it with no problem.

    New gramma sick

    Lee, Wow, after reading the article, it all makes sense; I do have a water quality problem in my tank so a bacterial or viral infection is very likely to be the problem. I don't know if you recall a thread that I posted here a few months ago about having similar issues with my male percula. At...

    New gramma sick

    No, the firefish has been in the QT since it arrived. Also can you tell from the pictures that it's ick for sure and not something else?

    New gramma sick

    Should I treat the new purple firefish that I got Yesterday too?

    New gramma sick

    So should put all 3 fishes in the same 10 gallon QT or separate them?

    New gramma sick

    Scooty, I've tried everthing, this gramma I got it from Saltwaterfish.com but the first purple firefish and the one that I just bought, I got them from Liveaquaria.com. I only gave locals a shot and that was with the Anthias and the other Gramma which died of ick whitin a week and if you...

    New gramma sick

    You mean "Marine Ich - Myths and Facts" ? Because the one that I had died in the QT a few months ago. He got ick so I had it in hyposalinity and during the third week, one day in the morning he was fine, 2 hours later he was dead.

    New gramma sick

    Ok so here I go again! I got a new royal gramma 5 weeks ago. I had it in the QT for 4 weeks and a couple of days. It was doing great and eating well. A few days ago I moved it to the main tank and and it was doing very good. Yesterday while feeding I noticed that one of its eyes looks cloudy...

    My male percula

    Lee, my clowns won't eat Formula 2 or Spirulina formula and I really would like for them to eat more greens. Somebody suggested to get fresh Nori from an Asian store. What do you think? also, how about ocean plankton?

    Carlos 60 gallon new tank

    Gaby, I think the clowns are doing better. The female has not been bothering the little guy these past few days and I'm hoping it will stay that way. Thanks for asking! by the way, how is your tank doing?

    Carlos 60 gallon new tank

    Updates I have been playing with my Alk and Calcium parameters this week, dosing B-ionic. So far, it appears that if I keep my Alk around 10 dKH, my pH swing is not that big as it used to be. Calcium levels require little dosing to keep steady around 420. From what I have seen, the refugium is...

    Carlos 60 gallon new tank

    I finally got the refugium set up. I hope this will help with the pH but I guess time will tell.
