A new 30g cube w/stand ,corallife150w MH, moonlight, tunze skimmer/box filter. Anyway So
I set it up and let it cycle for about a week, then added everything from the other tank including the HOB skimmer/Refuge. The tank never had a ammonia, or nitrite ****es, which I thought was really cool. I tested the water every other day and everything is good so far. Nothing died from the move. but I did have a peppermint shrimp eat my new crocea clam (I got for Christmas) the night I put it in. Anyway About a week ago I added prodibio and a seahare to see if it would eat the remaining hair algea that was transfered over from the nano. A few days later my lawnmower blennie die, from what I think was starvation. After doing some online reading, I found out they only like small hair algea, and one of the first things prodibio effects is small hair algea. But the good news is the green algea that I was cleaning off the glass everyday has disappeared, and the water looks alot cleaner. I do have some diatoms behind the rocks but only a small amount, I'm guessing it's coming from the hair algea dieing off, or the two hour light increase. I do a 10% weekly water change,
and dose b-ionics 2 part daily.
Inhabitants include:
Fish: Three striped damsel
Corals: ORA green birdnest, Orange Digitata, Green monti cap, Orange monti cap, yellow polyps, Eagle eye zoas, Pulsing xenia, Purple people eaters, Metallic pink palys, aquablue palys, blue mushrooms, Mint green candy cain, and two different Blasto merletti
Inverts:10 Snails, 4 hermits , 1 seahare, 1 Peppermint shrimp,
Filter: Purigen,Two skimmers, cheato, Live Rock.
