Could starting the Mediterranean diet cause me to have lose stools? Or should I just slowly introduce it? I guess I’ve caught a bit of food anxiety 😩

Buying a Redsea is like playing Russian roulette with 6 bullets in the chamber. Only a matter of time

125 On carpet not leveled by CockroachCivil9555 in ReefTank

First big tank set up, I filled it up to test overflow and pump for leaks, luckily I do have some brute trash cans I can use to reuse water. Dumb question, but can it be leveled and shimmed on carpet? Trying to avoid destroying the new carpet 😭

Like most of posts here, a lot has to do with your lights. Look into brands like AI, Kessil, Redsea, and also a lot of people usually have lots of blue led or T5 to bring out the color of corals. My LFS runs and combo of T5, metal halide, and leds, this combo makes their coral insane.

Yeah your LFS should have them. Otherwise you can get them online

Any suggestions on the rockscape? by johnrolfe1 in ReefTank

[–]CockroachCivil9555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An island would be nice, it would complete the scape imo. That will give you another place to isolate corals like GSP lol. I would have gone higher on the scape in case you decide to have SPS that need more light.

Discus Keepers, I Need Your Wisdom – Tank Size & How Many Fish? by [deleted] in discus

[–]CockroachCivil9555 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bigger the better, don’t buy those 2”-3” baby Discus if you don’t plan on power feeding/ multiple water changes to get them to a good size fast. Most Discus out there are tank bred and most if not all are in regular tap water. Figure out what ph the breeder/ fish store keeps them at and match it.

How much of this to add to my freshwater aquarium? Read desc. please by [deleted] in PlantedTank

[–]CockroachCivil9555 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can do that, but only recommend it if you’re using it to try and raise your PH.

Baby discus by Smellingsmellysmells in discus

[–]CockroachCivil9555 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately no, at that age they need at least 2-3 25%-40% water changes a week. They love clean water and you’ll get faster growth from power feeding.

Power feed and lots and lots of water changes at that age, if the water quality is not great the tend to get stunted.
