slowngreen Posted March 9, 2018 Author Share Posted March 9, 2018 Didnt take time to turn my pumps off but heres a pic of it now. Been running since March 6th. Transfer went great. I dropped a rock on my Wall Hammer and he's not been happy but he's opening back up slowly today thankfully and theres a few other pieces not opened up fully yet but I'm sure they are fine. 4 Quote Link to comment

slowngreen Posted March 9, 2018 Author Share Posted March 9, 2018 Thanks! I need to redo my white balance on my camera for a more accurate pic but running the two R60 Sanrise at 12%W, 100% RB, 100%B, 85%UV and the two t5's, it really pops and seems to be about a 18-20k color. Quote Link to comment

IAShane Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I like your purple stylo. It's on my list of future additions as well. 1 Quote Link to comment
slowngreen Posted March 15, 2018 Author Share Posted March 15, 2018 Thanks, it's something I've wondered if its a Stylo or a Digi. Quote Link to comment
markalot Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Excellent, the tank is up and running and already looks good. Hopefully smooth sailing from here. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
slowngreen Posted March 16, 2018 Author Share Posted March 16, 2018 Thanks Mark. KH and Cal are staying the same as they were in my 40b so my dosing hasn't changed. Everything else stayed the same too so no unexpected swings of any kind. Quote Link to comment

slowngreen Posted May 16, 2018 Author Share Posted May 16, 2018 Bad news this morning, my pink spot anthias was dead when I woke up. His mouth was really wide open. Hadn't seen any bad signs, he had been eating very well and was always out and swimming around. 4 Quote Link to comment

Hadn't seen any bad signs, he had been eating very well and was always out and swimming around. I lost my female in a similar manner. I have small and large pellet food and it was after i fed some of the larger pellets that she ended up dead. I assume these things dissolve fast enough that getting stuck should not be a problem, but I haven't fed the larger size since. 1 Quote Link to comment
slowngreen Posted May 17, 2018 Author Share Posted May 17, 2018 Dammit, my Blennie, Doobie, was dead today. I found my problem. I did a 10% WC last weekend and stupid me I didn't check my salinity, just figured it was close as I use the same measuring cup every time, but I checked it a minute ago and am about 1.030! Gonna start taking a little out and replacing it with RO right now till I'm back to 1.026. I'm truly sorry Leanord and Doobie, RIP. 3 Quote Link to comment
slowngreen Posted May 24, 2018 Author Share Posted May 24, 2018 Things are not going well. I ended up losing one of my fire fish, blue hippo and mandarin over night. My clown and blue eye tang are still alive and active but the clown is covered in what looks like Brooklyna. I did a 5 min freshwater dip with him. Is it likely that my mess up with the salinity stressed everyone enough that they got ich? Quote Link to comment
seabass Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Stress is enough in itself. Specific gravity must have been rising steadily over time, it's hard to make a huge swing in salinity with just a 10% water change. Now I'm wondering if there isn't ammonia in the tank. I'd check for it and dose Prime if you detect any. 6 minutes ago, slowngreen said: Is it likely that my mess up with the salinity stressed everyone enough that they got ich?

slowngreen Posted May 24, 2018 Author Share Posted May 24, 2018 The clown has more of a white powder look to him. The fish that died were already decomposed enough to tell. I just tested for ammonia, it shows none. Should I do a large WC just to be safe? Like 20% maybe? Quote Link to comment
seabass Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Did you add a new fish recently? Kind of sounds like Brooklynella. Quote Link to comment
