Moon wrasse is tough fish to keep.. I have 1 in my tank and needs a lot of space to swim around. Can be aggressive too.. When you fish for love, bait with your heart, not your brain...

Ammonia levels must be 0 No2 levels must be 0 So that you know that cycling is completed. No3 and Po4 is what you need to take note.. If the levels are high, you need to water change till the levels drop, start with 20%-30% water change if you are not dosing anything.. The most important part is bacterial in your water, you need to cultivate it.. I hope you have dose bacterial in your water and media to retain so it can breakdown your bio load & debris. The more fishes you add, they more you need to watch this part.. When you fish for love, bait with your heart, not your brain...

Tank project 5ft,2.5,2 - Newbie @ punggol 21
blackcell replied to blackcell's topic in Members Tank & Specs
Yeah.. I think it did.. I am just watching water condition and feeding dr g food.. Hope the rest is okay. When you fish for love, bait with your heart, not your brain... -
Bro, you can use a syringe attached to ballon long tube which you get from marine shop.. Slowly release at the side.. It will catch.. Or you can use live shrimps.. Cut small pieces and place it at the side.. Please also handle with care when feeding as spikes might come off or damage.. When you fish for love, bait with your heart, not your brain...

Sianz, the cowfish didn't survived !! Got infection.. My Dr G medicine came in too late.. When you fish for love, bait with your heart, not your brain... -
It's best that you do atleast a 50% water change if not most of your coral is not going to survive. There is a build up of something in the tank also hence your ammonia level. How long you have this tank and the size ? When you fish for love, bait with your heart, not your brain...

Bro, still need salt mix to adjust, ready salt water still need to fine tune the parameters.. What does your hydrometer tells you ? You need to test for PH, KH, No3, P04, CA, MG and temperature once that is tested. you balance it with dosing.. Recommended Parameters Calcium/Ca 380-450 ppm Alkalinity/KH 9-12 dKH Salinity 35 ppt / 1.026 Temperature 25-27 degree pH 8.1-8.3 Magnesium/ Mg1250-1350 ppm Phosphate/Po4 < 0 ppm Ammonia <0 ppm Nitrite/No3 <0.1 ppm When you fish for love, bait with your heart, not your brain...

Honestly bro. Tap water is fine.. You need to let it settle down with the salt mix before you pour it in.. Try to get a aquarium fan as temperature is important too.. Don't forget to get a thermometer... When you fish for love, bait with your heart, not your brain...

Hi bro, water is important and is the key to a successful marine keeping, cycling is must... Your bacterial is not cultivated that why your fishes keep on dying. I suggest using ATM Colony Marine Nitrifying Bacteria if you can't wait. I cycle my tank in just days with livestocks. Weekly, you can dose ATM outbreak or you can use Redsea po4/no3 reducer. You must have atleast liverock and filter media for this to work well.. ATM is available at green chapter and Westcoast aquarium. This section here explain the cycling process. http://acrylictankmanufacturing.com/resources/aquarium-cycling/ Next is your salt mix, it's holds important nutrients. I use redsea as its the most affordable and dosing is reasonable. You need to invest on the test kits so you know what is going on in your tank. Lastly, if skimmer is not use.. You must change water weekly religiously. Wish you all the best... When you fish for love, bait with your heart, not your brain...

Cure for Ich/Parasite
blackcell replied to nakazoru's topic in Disease treatment/parasite/pest control
Have tired many methods and by far.. The safest way is feeding it well and good water parameters. All the other treatments like copper and hypo stresses the fish, by catch it already lost half its life.. Anti-Parasitic & Anti-Bacterial Caviar by Dr G's Is a good mix when feeding before any signs of parasite outbreaks.. When you QT your fish, it's best you train it on Caviar first before releasing it to main tank.. The worst cases of Parasite infection when your fishes lose control of swimming and your wavemaker is push it around.. It's time to say your prayers.. It's often tough, as its gills and fins are already too badly damage to savage it.. So prevention is better then cure.. Happy reefing..

Zoas nudibranch
blackcell replied to clownfish_forever's topic in Disease treatment/parasite/pest control
Fresh water bath is best.. You should extend it to atleast 10mins.. You can see brown particle floating out.. Zoas are relatively tough corals. When you fish for love, bait with your heart, not your brain... -
Hi bro, Can you list out the equipment that you currently have in this setup.. So can assist you. Btw.. I use tap water for my 5ft tank, it's not a must to ro/di unit for a small setup as you need to water change regularly or weekly basis I think you a lacking of skimmer and your water flow is important as I don't think a wave maker can fit in.. You also need to understand water parameters.. Did you test it, please give us some info so we can help you to achieve it.. Lastly, white carpet anemone is quite handful to look after, as it demand space and when it move, it's often sting other corals.. Happy reefing and welcome to sgreef !!
