consider yourself lucky. I’ve been in this hobby a long time and can definitely tell the difference between camel and peppermint. It was peppermint that are my fungia i caught them in the act. 20 out of 60 people also agreed they are not reef safe and ate their coral on my R2R poll.

because people buy them? they are popular for aiptasia control and not difficult to captive breed. Peppermint shrimp are not reef safe. I’ve had peppermints eat the center out of my fungia plate and start on a favia. I did a poll on R2R and 1/3 of people had them eat their corals.

Petco stores are selling small 1.5” captive bred filefish at most locations for pretty cheap.

Bump still available. Cash, paypal or trade for tuxedo urchin plus cash.

Bump all still available.

sorry but it looks like it’s done. all the white flesh around the base of the polyp is gone and that’s a bad sign. I’m not aware of anything that can be done at this point.

dang you’re like the king of pure water! haha

Nitrate is 30 and Phos is 0.12. I tried a DIY chaeto reactor and it worked great for the first couple weeks but then the clear plastic of the started getting green film algae on it blocking the light and got no growth. Is there a good nitrate removing media i can put in the filter basket? I’m...

I’ll admit my hobby knowledge may be outdated. What’s the best current method of lowering nitrate? By best, I mean cheap yet effective. I used to think it was just large water changes and cutting back feeding.

@Tangwhich Fungia plate coral is an easy one. @tofucube Favia as well. @tygerjace has the space invader and burning banana stylo that are hardy.

ok, as paranoia said definitely want to add a decent strength powerhead angled towards the water surface to make a circular gyre flow in the tank and get good oxygenation. and a large water change is recommended. you can re-dose the meds after to their therapeutic levels.

are you running an air stone on the QT tank? and high flow? the powder blue and brown both need well oxygenated water with good flow. I call these death spots. these fish are hard to QT. They need a big space too. 4ft long QT minimum. tank likely needs a 50% water change and the raise the copper...

could be a couple things. their could be an air pocket trapped inside. Or it could have debris in the impeller housing. Or it could be a defective pump. Next step would be to take it out, disassemble it and check for debris, take out the impeller and give it and the housing a good rinse then...

ok then i take back what I said i was mistaken. i suggest turning it down to the lowest setting and see how the noise is. as others have mentioned, you can put a silicone pot holder under it to help with vibration noise.

A DC pump will come with an controller that allows your to adjust the flow electronically. Yours has that?

you can set the pump on a mousepad that’s can help a bit. A DC pump is really the best way to go. they are literally silent. Sicce is still good for AC, but they do make noise. If the noise from water going into the baffle is loud, the most simple solution is to put a ball valve on the output...
