| Re: HMA’s 115 gal. Reef Tank The hermit is certainly described as a not reef save. She's supposed to catch smaller fish and also eat according the description. However, I could never observe this. She bothers no corals and other Invertebrates, only the starfishes must sometimes suffer, she eats, at least I could observe this, in the skin of the starfishes without to injure this obviously. I have 3 of it in the 115gal for 4 years now.
The Qt…now … is standard Doni. I dont use a sponge filter because I always seawater to the immediate use have ready. I rather change every day 5-10% of water in the QT. Up to now in this manner I never had problems with nitrite or nitrate in the QT. The QT is used at most for 7-10 days, is a clear and very short period. A little more work than inevitably, but is not really worth mentioning. |
