i forgot to mention that i have been feeding invisible fish once per week and so the ammonia doesn't seem to build up either. so i guess all good.

i had to get some time to actually be able to test the water, but they're exactly the same as when i first tested the water on 4/14. i have like 2 small pieces of live rock in there still (i took one out for the QT) from a friend's aquarium. those 3 pieces or LR from my friend's aquarium have...

cool thanks for the tip! Yea I try for that period, but I think I can only get him to feed for a minute or less. I timed it. Then he just starts spitting things out. I am doing small feedings twice per day right now to hopefully keep him healthy.

yea since sunday he finally seemed to stop breathing hard and looks more normal now. he's pretty active now and i'm happy/relieved to see that he appears more normal. i'll still be watching him like a hawk for now, but it appears like it just took him longer to acclimate. he even found the...

Just looking for one health helfrichi firefish. Located in the san fernando valley area.

ok i'll look into that, thanks!

ok cool thanks for the help! i've never seen a fish curl up like that (especially in an S shape...) nor have i had a fish with this kind of personality. it kind of worried me cause in all the videos i've seen of these guys they are pretty much lined up straight and not curled up. Then again...

I got a new pearly jawfish. He seemed kind of active at the fish store. when i brought him home i tried to acclimate him using the drip method for 30 minutes starting from 6:30 PM to 7 PM tonight. temp is around 78, salinity is about 1.024. he tried to jump out when i transferred him to use...

are these fish still available?

ok thanks guys. after reading some, I realize they're not bad, but it freaks me out. I know as soon as my gf finds it she'll never want to go near my tank... haha. i think i'll get rid of it.

Do you guys know what this is? Fell off of some live rock my friend just gave me. safe to keep or should i throw him out and let him die?

I'm going to try to put in the live rock today and maybe wait another week or two. I'll test some more later. I'll also dose with ammonia afterwards and see what happens. I'm in no rush since I don't really have a ton of time to do a big project at once, so it works!

Yea I wasn't expecting it to be cycled already. I assumed everything was dead already after three weeks. But yes it was still moist. When you say spike do you mean another ammonia spike?

I have about 25-30 lbs of rock in a tub of about 8 gallons of red sea max water from a LFS. I got the live rock from another reefer, but had it out of water for about 3 weeks (so I assume all dead). The rock was kept in some 5 gallon buckets with covers and moist when I took them out. I...

ok yea... the rock has been out of water for maybe 2-2.5 weeks so i'm assuming all the worms are dead now.

I got this live rock from a fellow reefer, but it's covered with tube worms. When removing them, do I need to get off every bit of the tube worm? Are they so resilient that they can regenerate off of a tiny bit of flesh? Should I be removing part of the rock that they're attached to as well?

I just picked up about 25 lbs of live rock for my 28 gallon nano cube. The LR has been out of water a few days and I plan to get my RODI setup this weekend and have the LR back in salt water soon hopefully. the person I picked the rock up from recommended that I wash the LR off a little and...

thanks for the rock! good luck with the new tank!

I sent you a message, will text tomorrow. Thanks!
