    Lethargic Blue Trigger (Odonus Niger)

    Or maybe it just misses its owner. I don't believe that every change in behavior has to do with a disease or parisite. Not always doom and gloom. Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk

    And those little white shrimp like things running around are copepods, not parasites. Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk

    Lethargic Blue Trigger (Odonus Niger)

    I wouldn't change anything up right now on him. Just try to normalize the lights for him. Timers are pretty cheap. I even have an extra one you can have. Triggers normally only hide when they are either scared or calling it a night. How long have you had him now? Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk

    Lethargic Blue Trigger (Odonus Niger)

    I would be willing to bet its the lights. I would suggest putting the lights on a timer. Saves you from having to remember to turn them on and off. I think this explains his behavior. My triggers and wrasse put themselves to bed about 15 minutes before the lights go out religiously. They freak...

    Lethargic Blue Trigger (Odonus Niger)

    I guess a better question is, has anything in his tank changed recently? If I so much as change the lighting schedule on my tank, my niger will be skiddish for a few days. Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk

    Aggressive fish keepers.

    Nonstop- I intended on keeping an angel or two at first. I just happen to come across the triggers first. They keep it interesting when its time to feed or clean the tank. Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk

    You must not have had the "your sand bed is going to crash your tank" talk. But then again, your a BB guy. Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk

    That's the same cave troll that I talked to krish. He makes me want to take my tank down every time I talk to him. He have the same effect on you? Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk

    I need macro algae asap!

    I'm not saying that biofiltration doesn't play a part. But if you are not actively trying to remove as much as possible right away, long term you are going to have issues. A little birdie once told me that the denitrification process is a bunch of bull as far as our tanks are concerned anyways...

    I need macro algae asap!

    I must be missing something. I want to deal with the matter before it turns into trates and/or trites by means of complete, or close to, removal. I would rather my skimmer eat the fish turd then the bacterias in my LR. Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk

    I need macro algae asap!

    Don, I don't know that LR is a nitrate consumer. Or atleast that's not how it was explained to me. Established live rock is a waste producer ie detritus. Consuming excess food and fish poop then shedding that out as detritus. Nitrates are the product of organic matter breaking down in the...

    My triggers are awesome. My new blue throat is not one bit shy. He comes after fingers, not sure about arms yet. Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk

    Hey

    Good lookin tank. I hope to do the same with my 250. I finally got the tank up and running, slowly but surely collecting corals. What are you doing for lighting? Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk

    Aggressive fish keepers.

    Hasn't once looked at the coral. He has bitten the rock but I am pretty sure he was goin after a stomatela? snail. He loves those. I just can't keep a cleaning crew with him. I did have a dog face in there but he had to come out because he destroyed my poci's and mili's. Sent from my PC36100...
