NanoTopia Posted March 8, 2013 Author Share Posted March 8, 2013 That really sucks. Fish deaths r always worse than coral for me even if they were 1/10 the price. Have you thought about isolating the Chromis in a small quarantine/hospital setup and spot feeding him for the time being? Maybe some really healthy food soaked in vitamins? And as soon as you know he is eating, maybe medicate or hypo? I'm not sure if there is anything medication-wise to help though I took him out last night, he was crashing into the glass and getting banged up, I just put him down, very hard thing to do for me but I felt it was the only thing to do at that point. Thanks all for helping In his better days...R.I.P. "Tuna" Link to comment

1reefluvr2 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Thanks Kat, he is the last survivor of the original chromis clan. Last of the Mohicans! The wrasse is fine, thanks for asking. Yes QT is the solution to many reefers troubles down the road. It's really important to put healthy fish, free of parasites or any diseases, into your aquarium. Link to comment

NanoTopia Posted March 14, 2013 Author Share Posted March 14, 2013 Added May 2012, this 1" Cali Tort was a sickly looking frag, but I had high hopes for it... This is the Cali Tort now, some 10 months later, slow to take off and attacked by AEFW, it now looks happy and growing nicely. I'm calling it the "Come Back Kid". Link to comment
Veng Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Very large amounts of encrusting on the base of that one Link to comment
SDartifex Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Wow that tort looks great! I'm very sorry to hear your chromis didn't make it, I had to do the same when my prized opistognathus rosenblatti developed BSJF disease and I couldn't bear to watch him suffer anymore. Link to comment

brad908 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Nice growth. How long did it take for you to receive your clear tides reactor? Mine was said to be sent on 3/7, but nothing yet. Link to comment
NanoTopia Posted March 15, 2013 Author Share Posted March 15, 2013 Oooohhhhh, sweet! Any chance of top-down shots? Thanks Bello, since I hung my LED I find it hard to get in there to take shots, I am going to make a viewing box from some left over acrylic so that should help. I would like to take some good top down shots. Nice growth. How long did it take for you to receive your clear tides reactor? Mine was said to be sent on 3/7, but nothing yet. Ya, show shipping from the UK, then there is customs to consider, it was a good three weeks for me. The box came all torn up, I was sure the reactor didn't make it in one piece, but it did. Their packing sucks. Are you going to do the mod on it? Link to comment

Bummer; he said it would take a week, thought that seemed a little fast. Yup, doing the mod. Already bought the eheim pump Link to comment

brad908 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 How do you get your skimmer to not over flow? Ever since dosing start 3, I can't get my skimmer to not overflow. It either isn't enough to get gunk in the cup, or overflows. Can't win. Link to comment

It either isn't enough to get gunk in the cup, or overflows. Can't win. I skim dry so mine hasn't overflowed in months. Try a float switch in the cup connected to a controller that will shut off the skimmer when it starts to overflow. Or...skim dry, lol. Link to comment

MikeTR Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Just poppin in for an updated FTS .. I have that same purple gorg, love it, and can really take a beating from the vortechs. Sorry to hear about the fishy.. I've lost 2 chromis recently also.. one in quarantine, it was fine when I got home, then saw him having difficulty swimming after lights out. The other I just lost on Monday. No idea what happened to him, he just went missing in the big tank.... and then there were 3.. Good advice on the float switch in the skimmer cup.. I've not had a flood yet, but came close. I used some epoxy in the tank and my skimmer reacted violently, just about blew the lid off from all the foam and water was starting to pour down the sides. It does have a drain to shut the air supply off but that apparently doesn't seem to work very well at reducing the amount of bubbles the bubble blaster puts out. Link to comment
