DaveFason Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 The FW tank is looking lovely. Do you have any issues being close to the window? Quote Link to comment
Cannedfish Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Tank is looking amazing (per protocol) and that eel is beyond cool. Like really cool. What is it's personality like? Will it interact with you? Really makes me want to upgrade to just a slightly bigger tank to get one... BTW, this needs to be TOTM. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Dave, I had a ton of issues in the beginning (green slime algae and brown brush algae). I think this was mostly due to poor equipment. I have now switched from a cheap fluval CO2 system to a bucceplant regulator and have had much better success. I also added a Twinstar M3 algae remover (I’m not actually sure how it works ) and have noticed quite a difference. 1 Quote Link to comment

Thank! and I have found that the less I “mess” with the tank the better it does. The Eel is very outgoing and will extend 7-8” out into the tank when he sees me (he is about 9” long). He is peaceful to his tank mates and has not shown aggression to any of the imverts in my aquarium so far. 2 Quote Link to comment

William Posted November 13, 2018 Author Share Posted November 13, 2018 Some updates tank pics and a video to follow. As as you can see I need to do a water change soo , having some diatoms (May also need to change out my RO membrane) I also noticed some stringy poop coming out of my aptasia eating filefish, so I decided to treat the tank with Prazipro 3 Quote Link to comment
William Posted November 13, 2018 Author Share Posted November 13, 2018 Here is an updated pic of my freshwater pico for those who are interested. I ended up pulling out the dwarf hair grass, could not seem to be able to get rid of the algae in it. 3 1 Quote Link to comment

William Posted January 29, 2019 Author Share Posted January 29, 2019 Some updates: my waspfish has gone missing 😕. I have had him for almost three years so it could be old age or the snapping shrimp could have gotten him. My aptasia eating filefish has grown a taste for rock flower anemones ... (I’m so happy 😡) and I finally tested my water and my calcium has been staying at around 300 for the last 3 months... (was using an expired test kit before). 1 Quote Link to comment
William Posted February 6, 2019 Author Share Posted February 6, 2019 Just caught my aptasia eating filefish eating my brittle starfish ....☹️ 2 Quote Link to comment
vlangel Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Does your aiptasia eating filefish eat aiptasia or just RFAs and brittle stars? Maybe it ate the wasp fish too? Jk 1 Quote Link to comment
