metrokat Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Do you know the parameters? I think phosphates are high based on the color of the Kat. Might need to get about 5-10 peppermint shrimps or a file fish to help with the aiptasia. Quote Link to comment
TheKleinReef Posted August 19, 2016 Author Share Posted August 19, 2016 Do you know the parameters? I think phosphates are high based on the color of the Kat. Might need to get about 5-10 peppermint shrimps or a file fish to help with the aiptasia. No idea on parameters. I'll do a barrage of tests when I'm home. I'll be removing most of the rock and supergluing/burning the aptasia. I refuse to get peppermint shrimp. Too many mixed experiences. A file fish would be cool, I just don't know what kind to get or where to get one. This tank needs more fish. I also might pick up a media reactor when I'm home. edit. I want more fish, but how will the tang play with one inhabitants. Ii'm planning on the scape being redone. If the tang won't play nice, I can potentially swap him out for different fish. Although my mom loves the tang, so that may not be an option. Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Your LFS will have matted file fish - call them ahead of time and see if they will order you one - specify aiptasia eating filefish. How long are you home for? Quote Link to comment

TheKleinReef Posted August 20, 2016 Author Share Posted August 20, 2016 i love my midas blenny I just don't want the tang to kill any new fish. Quote Link to comment
Ebn Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Stick your tang into your sump or in a temporary tank. Then rescape and add the other fish as needed (doesn't seem like you'll be QTing the new additions), with the tang going in last. That should help with the aggression. 2 Quote Link to comment
ninjamyst Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 when you come back, hit up Wojtek if you want some LPS. He has more LPS than most LFS. Quote Link to comment

My sump is big enough I think. Thanks! when you come back, hit up Wojtek if you want some LPS. He has more LPS than most LFS. what's that? Wojtek? 1 Quote Link to comment
