tennis20 Posted March 21, 2012 Author Share Posted March 21, 2012 Never believe instant ocean hydrometer. I thought i had perfect SG. It turned out that my SG was 21! Always use a refractometer. Link to comment
tennis20 Posted March 22, 2012 Author Share Posted March 22, 2012 My new ricordea is not opening fully. I think it is because of too much flow. Any way here's a pic sorry for the bad pic i took it with my phone Link to comment

FlCandy Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Pic of my bangaii cardinal that diedhttp://www.nano-reef.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/mad.gif Thank you for being the first person that is not me to comment I am sorry the cardinal didn't make it. No worries I know how it goes my thread was on here for almost a month until someone posted. Usually it's Joel, he is really awesome about giving help and feedback to everyone. I just beat him to the punch. I really like your tank the scape is good and you have some nice first frags. They will grow quickly for you! My new ricordea is not opening fully. I think it is because of too much flow. Any way here's a picsorry for the bad pic i took it with my phone Might be too much light.... mine are in pretty high flow and seem happy with it...... See if you can't move them down to the sand bed until they get used to your tank. Link to comment
tennis20 Posted March 22, 2012 Author Share Posted March 22, 2012 I have 3 WPG and the camera on my phone makes it look like there is a lot more light then there actually is. Link to comment
FlCandy Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 I have 3 WPG and the camera on my phone makes it look like there is a lot more light then there actually is. I would try moving them down just for a few days, see if they open more. Most rics are lover light and you have plenty. Tank looks awesome though! Link to comment
tennis20 Posted March 22, 2012 Author Share Posted March 22, 2012 When i put it in my tank i left it on the bottom and it opened fully so i think thats it............Thank you Link to comment
tennis20 Posted March 23, 2012 Author Share Posted March 23, 2012 What's wrong with my Xenia?(left unhealthy xenia)(right healthy xenia) Params pH:8.0 SG:1.023 nitrate:20ppm nitrite:0ppm ammonia:0-.25ppm 3 Watts per gallon Link to comment
tennis20 Posted March 25, 2012 Author Share Posted March 25, 2012 I am thinking about getting aquastyle 12x3 watt LEDs. Any thoughts on them. Also i am hopefully going to get some more snails today. My CUC is so tiny. Maybe some Nassarius Snails or Margaritas. Link to comment
Choice84 Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Looking very nice. Hope everything works out with the xenia. Link to comment
FlCandy Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Re they 2 different frags on different sides of the tank? Ammonia should always be 0, if it is not something died off in the tank and you need to do a WC. Try placing the Xenia in a Moderate flow area with Moderate lighting. Mine loves to have a small current over it. Link to comment
tennis20 Posted March 25, 2012 Author Share Posted March 25, 2012 Tested ammonia today. 0ppm. Also went to the LFS and got a scooter blenny, feather duster, and 2 margarita's. Pics coming soon Re they 2 different frags on different sides of the tank? Ammonia should always be 0, if it is not something died off in the tank and you need to do a WC. Try placing the Xenia in a Moderate flow area with Moderate lighting. Mine loves to have a small current over it. the xenia's are right next to each other Link to comment
HVani Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 I'd take the scooter back. They are very specialized feeder and need a mature tank. I just don't think he will find enough food in a 6 gallon with 2 other good sized fish. I'm even hesitant to put one in a future 60 gallon (they need lots and lots of Pods to eat). 3 days ago you had ammonia, I would wait until ammonia is 0 for at least a week before adding anything else. Definitely no more fish since a domino damsel is going to get huge. A 6 gallon is really only big enough for 1 clown Sorry. Link to comment
tennis20 Posted March 26, 2012 Author Share Posted March 26, 2012 I tested the ammonia wrong and I am going to get rid of the damsel soon. Link to comment
tennis20 Posted March 26, 2012 Author Share Posted March 26, 2012 They don't get that big. Right? And they're bottom dwellers Link to comment
tennis20 Posted March 26, 2012 Author Share Posted March 26, 2012 also i'm going to do .5g to1 gallon a week WC Link to comment
HVani Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 If I were you I would research fish before getting them. Scooter's get up to 5" long and are difficult feeders. They are dragonets and eat only pods in the wild. In our home aquaria many starve. Even if they end up eating other types of food, they have a high metabolism and need many feedings to keep alive. Scooter Blennies Like I said in the last post a clownfish really fully stocks this tank. Link to comment
