Shiraz, Are you using a DSB? I seen bubble form at the side of your tank in the sand.

Is that an effect of No3 breakdown into nitrogen or is that oxygen due to photosyntesis of algae?

Tank 4x2x2.5

      FOC Coral Bandid Shrimp

      Hi, I'd need to give away my CBS named Shadow. He's a decent sized guy, been with me for a few months, a darling of a shrimp. But he's started attacking my small fish, fish have gone missing through the months, few have died the past week. Unsure him or anything else. My current fish are all healthy. Free of charge. Just promise to take good care of him. Please quarantine him first, or put him in a fishless setup for a few weeks. Self collect at Indus road. Cheers.
