seabass Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 It's probably not necessary to have the fish before you transfer the shrimp. However, the fish helps protect the shrimp, so it might not be a bad idea to wait. 1 Quote Link to comment
Kindanewtothis Posted November 25, 2021 Author Share Posted November 25, 2021 I think I have dinos in the 10g (sorry for the bad picture) I'll have to investigate... Quote Link to comment
Kindanewtothis Posted November 26, 2021 Author Share Posted November 26, 2021 Update on the 10g: I could not find any dinos, false alarm I think but the tank is in bad shape and needs a good cleanup and a significant water change. The zoas frag I have in this tank do not look good since 3 or 4 days now (see pic). Everything looks "dusty" (the rocks, mexican turbo shell, water heater. I try to capture the pistol shrimp today. My plan is to take water out in a bucket, remove the main rocks, net it and transfer it directly in the 50g. I could not find a YWG. I wanted to wait to have a pair but I choose better conditions over pairing. I'll get a YWG when possible and hope they find each other in the 50g. Quote Link to comment

Kindanewtothis Posted November 26, 2021 Author Share Posted November 26, 2021 Ok guys I need a quick answer before I do a stupidity. I took the rocks out of the tank to net the pistol shrimp. It's in the 50g now. The neon goby was hiding in a rock and is now in the bucket. Do I put it back in the 10g or with its small bioload I should add it to the 50g? So 10 ou 50? The 10g will be sold.

Jakesaw Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Have you ever had any GHA in your tanks? My 10 gallon since bumping up the nutrient level is getting some good GHA growth on the back wall and a few of my frags. MY Marco - Live Rock seems to be seasoned off enough to be avoiding GHA so far - the rising Nutrient level is actually starting to cause some bright red corraline algae forming ( I think ). I'm going through my first ugly stage - First Dino - now GHA as I raise the nutrient levels. Quote Link to comment

But it could get nasty quickly - I suppose. I scraped some off the back wall last night and it's already back there again. - FUN Quote Link to comment

IMO you're stressing yourself out trying to run 2 tanks. If it were me I would shutdown the 10. 2 Quote Link to comment

I'm closing that tank. Quote Link to comment

Kindanewtothis Posted November 26, 2021 Author Share Posted November 26, 2021 I've put the UV in the 50g for 24 hours, trying to beat those brown diatoms particules in the water column. Quote Link to comment

Springeri is now in the 50g, no fish left in the 10g. I cannot find my halloween hermit, it must be in a rock, I found some molt. There is also a trochu somewhere. I need a brush for the mexican turbo shell it's full of algae and "stuff". Quote Link to comment

Kindanewtothis Posted November 28, 2021 Author Share Posted November 28, 2021 All is out from the 10g except the Mexican turbo (I need a brush) and the zoa frag that is not going in the 50g. Now I got to make sure everyone eats in the 50g. Quote Link to comment
