@thirdchild - The larger one in the group is that angry and a bully. The rest are tame.

 

@revaltion - Long story short, I wanted a DSLR but the wife wanted a point and shoot... We decided on the Sony Alpha NEX C3 w/18-55 zoom lens. The best of both worlds, it does take some wonderful close up shots due to the SLR CMOS image sensor.

Well I was going to take some pictures today but I think I have a major issue...

 

Looks like New Tank Syndrome :(

 

For the past week the tank has been getting progressivally cloudier. I added chemipure to see if it would clean it out but it is just getting worse and just today I am missing 1 out 3 of the chromis. Broke apart the rockwork trying to find his dead body but still couldnt find him. I have a DIY net on top of the tank and there would be no way of jumping out I even checked around the tank and cant find anything.

 

So this is the plan, I have my RODI unit filling up a 35 gallon container and tonight I am going to make some fresh saltwater and do a major water change during this major water change tomorrow I hope to find the decaying fish.

 

Any advice would be helpful, for clean up crew all I have is 1 blue legged hermit and 3 large turbo snails.

 

Maybe it took longer to cycle than you thought and screwed some stuff up =\. I got a strange spike in mine but I think it was because of a dead macro I had in there.

I figured out what happened during that issue. Biopellets created the cloud when they were first introduced and the fish went down the overflow and chewed up by the skimmer. :(

 

* I actually have had to save 3 fish so far that have wandered to close to the overflow. All have survived down in the sump until I netted them and brought them back to the display. Lets just say they learned from there mistakes :)

Sorry ;)

 

Clowns started to host the nem! But for the past month I have been getting ready for a career change which will probably move me out of state so I have been selling the coral and just recently put the tank up for sale on a local forum.

 

Im not out totally just for the time being until I move. Definitly will be a bigger and better tank when stuff gets situated.

 

Thanks for everyones interest ill be back soon :)
