Zoster butterfly,easy to care for and considered mostly reef safe.

anybody?

?

just wanted to get some ideas. thanks -jordan

the nitartes are very high, i would do a 50 percent water change once then keep doing 10 perecent a week. what size tank do you have? also do u have any dirty filter pads that could be producing nitrates. lastly theres no way that brittle stars gonna live with nitartes that high.

ok so i should leave it in until my nitrite and ammonia is zero then i can take it out, and start to do water changes remove nitrates. although il prob wait to do water changes so i can give my tank a chance to build more bacteria. -jordan

i just tested my water today.... nitrite .25 ammonia .50 this is 2nd day with the shrimp, my tank is starting to smell so should i take it out now since my levels spiked? thanks -jordan

i have heard good things about bluezoo aquatics and reef hot spot.

i added the shrimp, i have it a net so it doesnt shed in the tank. il test my parameters tommrow to see if anything has spiked. thank you for all the help. -jordan

so when i add the shrimp, do i take it out when it starts to decay or when the ammonia starts to rise? thanks

i tested it on thursday then i went on vacation and i just get back today and its read 0 so im not sure if it ever spiked i think i might add the shrimp just to make sure it will spike, even if it is the second time probally wont hurt.

its been 7 days since i set up the tank, i just tested my parameters... nitrates 10 nitrite 0 ammionia 0 do u think im done my cycle?

should i put it in something or can i add it right to the tank? also can i use a frozen cocktail shrimp or does have to be fresh? my last reef cycled with just Live Rock so im new to this. thanks -jordan
