Terryz's Gobies Tank

[Terryz_]

Hope it will survive...

[FuEl]

Both my rainfordis although are fat..but so far not eating anything that I feed. Only picking at debri in my tank. Hopefully they start eating soon enough...

[Terryz_]

Btw bro... I think they wun eat mysis shrimp ler... I tried before... They wun touch it.. Can try cyclopeeze... Mine eat it...

[Terryz_]

Current Fishes in my tank...

1 x Black Blenny

1 x Black Antenna Goby

3 x Princess Anthias

Planning to add 2 x rainfordi next week...

Think thats all unless got nice goby appearing anywhere...

[FuEl]

Try adding them towards late week. The anthias will put a strain on your bioload. let your biological system cope with it first.

[Terryz_]

Okaie... Think i add them the week after next week... To play safe....

[Terryz_]

Left side of tank... With one Princess Anthias hiding under the LR...

[Terryz_]

[Terryz_]

All died liao... Not going to keep them anymore... Very difficult to keep...

[Terryz_]

Thinking of changing the lighting to T5... Want to keep LPS only... Is 2 x 24w T5s enough anot...

[Terryz_]

[Terryz_]

Found one Princess anthias die just now while feeding...

[aStRoBo|]

bro.. seems like ur LS in ur gobies tank dying gradually.. maybe keep a lookout?

[Terryz_]

Just change 50% water on Sunday... Ammonia, Nitrite all zero...

[Terryz_]

I am leaving it to stablise..

[aStRoBo|]

ya bro.. maybe transfer ur anthias to ur main tank..

[Terryz_]

Will died faster... Due to the sailfin and damsel attacking it... I selling the anthias to someone liao...

[KingFish]

I am leaving it to stablise..

Ya man, leave your setup to mature before deciding what to keep.

Good luck

[Terryz_]

Could it be that i dun have a skimmer yet... Adding one only next week...

[nutx]

I am leaving it to stablise..

my tank has a problem in keeping fish during the 1st 3 mths, after cycled. Ammonia and NO2 are 0, and NO3 at 12.5-25. Fishes just died after 1 week+ in the tank. Change water at 30-50% weekly also no used....the last thing I did before fish can survived inside are the adding of carbon. I also have Macro skimmer running.

Let the tank mature on itself is better, I suspect could be some Ammonia surge during night, etc....

Oh... Was thinking of adding carbon... Skimmer getting next week... Thanks to nicky...

[Terryz_]

Duh... Just tested my Nitrite just now... Increased to 0.2... What could have caused it huh... I only added a Macroalgae rock from reb***... And three anthias... Could these be the cause...

I suppose these are the mini 'cycle' that is going on in your tank that kill off/stress the fish.

you 'load' in too much stock for the existing bacteria to handle..so unbalance created.
