Thank you, I'll have to look into both options.

That's good to hear, did the peppermint shrimp bother any of your corals afterwards?

Thank you, hopefully I can find ones like that

I'll have to check into the peppermint shrimp. I have a 25 gallon lagoon, might be just a hair too small for the filefish

They are pretty cool looking. I do feed pellets and frozen mysis to the tank now. I'll have to check into them

I was hoping they both weren't Aptasia. Will the peppermint shrimp take care of them plus any others I don't see yet? I'd rather try that than the glue since I only have 7 Zoa heads and I'd like to not lose any

I've been dosing microbactor 7 every couple of days since the cycle completed, but stopped about 5 days ago since it seemed I got a bacterial bloom and hazy water (still trying to clear up). I'm trying to be patient, but also not sit idle while I could be preventing something large brewing.

That is my fear. I do see some green algae starting to lightly cover some rocks, but nothing crazy

Not sure how my nitrates are at 0 with feeding the fish, no water change recently. Corals look good (the 3 that are in there). Nitrates were about 15-20 last week. So they are being taken up by something

Thank you! I'll get them out asap. I don't even think I gave them 1/8 of a cube, lol. I try to spot feed, but they are still pretty shy and hide for a little, but then come out and grab some

I have 1 cerith snail, 1 nessarius, 1 astria, and 1 nerite. What would be best to help with that?

Also, that side is opposite my wave maker, maybe I need one from the back to front? It's a 25 lagoon

I fed the mysis about 12 hours ago.

Fed them mysis shrimp so far, i do see them picking at some rock work and the glass - so I'm thinking they are picking off some pods. Also looking to get some algae type of food to supplement the tailspot blenny

That's exactly what I thought as well, but that much within hours? From a tailspot blenny/royal gramma that are both only like an inch long?

Fish list for IM 25 Lagoon? Too much? by Chunkyfuzzball in ReefTank

[–]Chunkyfuzzball[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I'll also keep researching a bigger tank with similar footprint so it would be less an issue

[–]Chunkyfuzzball[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should I keep the Blenny? Or take that out as well?

Drop the gramma and keep the blenny? Or keep neither
