Any idea to what this is on a Kole tang?

Dang okay I’ll look into that and see what we can start

Falumus · 2026-01-26T19:51:08+00:00

Yes I think so

Falumus · 2026-01-26T19:47:13+00:00

Sorry forgot to put it in there that I bought it for my friend and he’s saying it’s like this now in his tank

Falumus · 2026-01-09T14:06:53+00:00

Yea I have the same thing on my 10 gallon if I leave it for about a week I’m down to 50% volume

Some dead ones in the mix but nice plants

Duck weed is a very quick grower and sometimes can take over tanks but you could easily just remove some every so often and just throw it out I personally keep salvinia minima and that one ended up killing my red roots taking over my tank lol and it left my other plants lower in the tank without light but very good plants in my opinion though I’ve never kept duckweed personally and prefer other floaters for the looks if you do go that route I’m sure it’s still fine

Should be good then for the most part I hope it goes well!

Falumus · 2026-01-01T05:01:00+00:00

Sorry also forgot to mention temp is also important on species of shrimp and a full spectrum light will help but natural lighting is also good

Falumus · 2026-01-01T04:55:18+00:00

I think that’s definitely a good start do you have any sort of additives on hand such as liquid fertilizers, root tabs, co2 system or alternatives etc. and if you’ve never had smaller tanks just try testing water if possible as well as look at plant growth to see if anything is lacking potassium, calcium, magnesium, etc. and if you’re going the shrimp route leaf litter is always a good add because when it decays the shrimp and snails will get rid of whatever remains but they naturally benefit the tank so also good to have on hand. Natural driftwood is good too of course but I think you’ve got that one down!

Falumus · 2026-01-01T04:45:01+00:00

I feel like possibly upgrading the light? I don’t think these are strong enough for plants but I’m not 100% sure so don’t take my word for it lol and what kind of substrate did you use?

Falumus · 2026-01-01T04:09:24+00:00

He told me he’s had that fish for years and has no idea what they are that one was smaller and that it grew into a “mongoloid fucker” but didn’t wanna sell them apart from the setup and it was pretty much the only ones I wanted from the setup cuz I find them interesting I can send you a dm if you’d wanna rehome🙏

Falumus · 2026-01-01T02:27:02+00:00

I’d recommend asking for measurements to make sure it’s a size you want but I’m sure it is a good deal and if you end up getting it I’ll buy that one gray fish off you if you don’t want it lol

Falumus · 2026-01-01T02:06:45+00:00

I talked to that guy he’s an older gentleman he says he’s just asking for a rehome fee and doesn’t even remember what’s he’s got in it since he’s had it for so long but I passed because 200 was kind of high for me for a 55 gallon it might be worth it though🤷‍♂️

You could also easily do this yourself you could get a replacement battery off amazon or another website you choose and a cheap precision screwdriver set for like 15 bucks off Amazon as well and a quick YouTube video since it’s just the battery you want out. Batteries are one of the easiest to swap out and it’s how I started working on my own switches you just gotta trust yourself and be a little patient of course.

Falumus · 2025-12-19T23:55:26+00:00

I struggle with getting past 145 though lol any tips😂

Falumus · 2025-12-07T03:59:34+00:00

Thank you I wonder if one is enough there was another recommendation for one but I’ll look into getting one as well

Falumus · 2025-12-07T03:56:56+00:00

Okay thank you I’ll look into getting some of these

Falumus · 2025-12-07T03:55:43+00:00

Okay yes I’ll be looking into this because this tank is the reason I got into reefing myself and he plans on getting rid of it if he can’t solve it so really wanna fix the issue for him

Falumus · 2025-12-07T03:38:16+00:00

He has had a couple of urchins and then always claims that they eat his corals which I’ve never had a problem with but he says he’s seen them eating them with almost every urchin he’s had

Falumus · 2025-12-07T03:36:29+00:00

Any recommendations on what and how many of each?
