Happy One year anniversary. Many changes...worst was my not so brilliant idea of adding faux corals. Within a week my tank crashed.
For about 8 months I had just fish and live rock and a clam
Then added the faux coral and an anenome
Then tank crashed- I do believe all the coral...
We know a month or two ago my tank crashed when I put in all those faux coral. Poisons leached out and killed my live stock. I never had any real coral. But I did love my live rock and fish.
So here it is now with real coral and more new fish and my two clams- the little inch one died...
Thanks JJ..I emailed a photo of it to you. I can't upload it on here. Because Iam on my iPad and my main computer is down. Maybe you could add the photo here and teach me what to do???? Ayayayay...you knew how much I was looking for a big toadstool. Finally get one and nothing but...
Big words...I was so hoping that is what it is..but where it tore at and ripped even more btw.... The start is where it was brown. I started reading up..researching all over the web..fear is the brown edge areas are necrosis. I read some people saying in post to cut the brown edges off. Then...
I got a new Fiji leather (yellow)
It was on a rock and shaped literally around the rock..limp..and deflated.. Quite large for something I thought was going to be around 3-4 inches..
More like 7 inches
Some of the edges are a dark brown. Most edges are fine...
But it's shaped funny and...
Mmmnnnnn...so the pinkish color is cyano..wow..all my parameters all clear and good to go..looks like its then getting trapped in the sand. Maybe I should ass more sand clean up crew. But I don't want things disrupting the sand where it disrupts my little whittle baby elegance coral...
But If I use just aragonite...then I have to rinse it right??? If I use live..then don't I get to do one less step.lol
Or would the live sand cause an issues. I really only want to add some more in areas.
Question also. What's the pinkish reddish colored stuff in my sand ... that up...
Need more sand. How should I do this? What I originally put down about a year ago was live sand. Didn't rinse it..just poured bags in.
So what and how do I add more now, I really do not want to cause any cycles.
Pleas dish what you all do.
Good luck to you and sounds like once you work out all the kinks...oh then more show up..lol
Your gonna love your tank. Sweet score. Sounds as if that person you got the tank from did it up,,has a uv unit?
