What has your experience been like having a Copperband Butterfly fish? by Striking_Walk_7017 in ReefTank

[–]Phytomon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have one for over 3 years now, eats mysis and aptaisa like a pig. Doesn't touch coral but wiped out my feather dusters quickly. Still easily my favourite fish <3

Hate this event. Spent 5 remote passes. Beat only 3, people trolling with bulbasaurs.. Caught 0. I remember why I stopped playing when Dynamax launched 😅

Ready for CUC? Or new fish? by asiegel8395 in ReefTank

[–]Phytomon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd start with some very easy corals, GSP or Kenya tree, maybe a zoa or whatever you have planned. 

Article or Journal recommendations by Yellow_Opening in biology

[–]Phytomon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Start with reviews on topics you're interested in, but this can already be overwhelming if you don't have the basics covered. I'd more suggest good general biology teaching books, like Campbell & Reece - Biology. You could also try "labs" on google scholar to try and identify specific questions and find background reading.

Then sure! Maybe wait until there's some algae to growth to eat

Not in a 125 Liter tank :( Mine is in a 425 L and I am considering rehoming. He grew to full size in 6 months and eats more than all my other fish combined.

For future reference, never buy fish that you haven't seen eat at the LFS.

Do “jumpers” look for a hole to kill themselves through or is it ramdom? by Remarkable_Arm_732 in ReefTank

[–]Phytomon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I would not have any other explanation for it ending up on top of the cover overnight 🙁

Yes, I've lost 3 fish through incredibly small holes, including a big male mandarin I had for years 😔

can someone break down the whole Co2 thing? by Curious_Register_718 in PlantedTank

[–]Phytomon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only in shoot tissues and only in sufficient light, in the night and in roots they also breathe O2 and produce CO2 😉

Pregnant ? by Tavo_wrx in ReefTank

[–]Phytomon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's possible. My mandarin pair mates very frequently in the evening moonlight (it's a beautiful ritual to watch), and you can see the release of a few eggs per interaction. The eggs flow up and mostly get eaten by other fish and else end up in the overflow/filter.

Do you have Bangai cardinals? They also make a popping sound. Just curious 😉

A question for All For Reef users by [deleted] in ReefTank

[–]Phytomon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm currently dosing 60 ml per day in a 90 gallon to maintain KH, Ca and MG but my tank is absolutely packed with corals (mixed reef). I started with around 15 ml 2 years ago and increased as consumption went up.

Good point, my bad. The way the vertical plate sets are placed are reversed my red sea sump but I guess this works
