umm ok, i'll say a few weird things i do or don't seem to be liked
water changes... umm i think last may was my FW's last change, only one loss though...
testing, never been a big fan even on my sw, never tested my fw before, whenever i do test my sw nitrates 0 and eveyrthing else is what it should be
yes i use tap water, with conditioner though,
and yes
i do have a sand bed mixed with crushed coral
i do not abuse tangs, so far my yellow tang is my longest lived fish, odd things happened to my other ones,
ocelleris i turned off the skimmer for 3 days they seemed to have died with no marks, i'm think suffocation
firefish, umm one died cause i think i stressed it out in transfering, didn't go out with all the water, which is another bad habit, using the lfs's water in my tanks when i buy new fish,
umm gsm nipped to death by my yellow tang, for a while they got a long then one day the tang just started nipping away...
o when i treated for flatworms used all 300 gallons worth on my 80 gallon system my sargassum forests died, no one besides me really liked them and then i tried carbon and killed most of my xenia, kinda sad, o and since i hated flatworms so much i would squish them on the glass whenever i saw them after treating, now they're all gone hehe
that's all i can think of for now, and i just passed a year for my tank
