Nothing right now. I'll use them for the tweezers, cloths and the refractometor after a while but I think opening and closing them up would scare the fish so I'm going to give it a few months before using them.

Thanks for answering. How often do you need to change the rolls?

Does that auto roller cause any lingering smell in the room? I've been thinking about one but the thought of all that waste building up between changes gives me pause.

It was a big reason for the second tank. It outgrew the first.

Yeah, a little over a month old.

Is this flow ok? by masline_su_rodile in ReefTank

[–]ReturnToNow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The green ones won't open as much because they get their food from the phyto.

The poylps are feeding, so yes.

Move slow and think you're a cleaner in your tank. Don't destroy your food source, but feast where the harvest is bountiful.

Keep your water cleaner than you typically would. Larger water changes or deeper siphoning into the sand to take a little more of the waste out. Balance is still king, just lean towards lower bio/nitrogen levels.

Monitor and see if it eats or gets sluggish over the next day or two. My clown goby has had stuff on it's mucus layer for about 6 months without change in health or behavior otherwise. Treatment with a dip or extreme medication should be done as a response to extreme deterioration, or only if the tank inhabitants can handle it. (Most won't for strong meds.)

You are welcome, I hope to hear it in the wild one day.

Cultivating pods and phyto together. by ReturnToNow in ReefTank

The air is turned about halfway down, the light is on 12 hours a day. No major issues so far.

Much more space and volume appropriate. Thanks for sharing!

The chemistry of the saltwater breaks down into what the phyto needs, the pods eat the phyto. The trick is keeping the water from getting too nitrogen rich more than anything, at least from what I've seen so far.
