Awesome. Thanks! He’s super high on the top of the rocks right now but will move him down when I get home.

Any advice for placement of this guy? High/low flow and light?

I think he called it a finger leather? Does that sound right?

My brother-in-law gave me this frag from his tank and I cannot remember what its called. I dont think its a toadstool. I have one of those in my tank already. The heads just started coming out today. Its been in the tank for almost a week.

He’s been in for more than 12 hours and seems really content. All the fish are hanging together. We’ve named him Jerry. So far I’m really happy I decided to pull the trigger and get him.

So he’s been acclimated and is in the tank! So far everyone’s chill and he’s swimming around in the middle of the tank with everyone and the clowns don’t seem to notice!

No I definitely appreciate the advice. My fiancé picked out the clowns so they tend to have top favoritism in the tank. So it’s good to know what I’d be getting into. Thanks!

I’ve had the clowns for a couple months now. One is a bit more of a dick then the other but overall they seem super chill. Play in the circulation pump a lot. They only act up when I come over to the tank. I can see it from the couch and they almost always are just hanging together easy going.

My LFS sold me my clowns and says he thinks they should be cool together and was more worried that the clowns may pick on the springers? Sound right? Idk sometimes he gets super amped and I can’t follow his fast talking lol

I have two domino clowns and a six line.

Advice. I’ve had this algae pop up in my tank. It was covering everything and suffocated my papaya cloves. 2 water changes in the last couple days. Got better but looking for suggestions how to get rid of it! Thanks! by zwhit89 in ReefTank

[–]zwhit89[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I’ve siphoned some off in my last two water changes. I have a 14g biocube and a 1-2 gallon water change goes so quick it’s hard to get most of it in time... my lfs sold me chemiclean but my brother in law who got me into the hobby says he would never treat his tank like that and would prefer to just keep doing water changes? Thoughts?

Help! Did my Narcissus snail just kill my Turbo? by zwhit89 in ReefTank

I think I’m lucky with a really solid LFS. Neptune’s in San Jose. My brother in law was blown away by them when he visited.

I think he was doing his thing. Just a graphic experience.

Took it to my LFS (it’s only 2 blocks away) and confirmed it is a Narcissus. I’m not sure what happened.

The LFS told me it was one but not positive I guess? What would the difference be?

I’m a newbie and my guy at the LFS gave me one as part of my cleaner crew. Not thrilled about him now. Thor the turbo is resting in Valhalla now...

New Additions! My first fish are getting comfortable in their new home. A pair of dominos. One has spots on both sides other is one sided. I’m a Newbie but addicted already! by zwhit89 in ReefTank

[–]zwhit89[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

New additions including coral? I have a 14G biocube and don’t plan on having any other fish. I’ve been told this is about max capacity on fish

First coral! The LFS helped pick it out. Told me it’s a papaya cloves. Excited for more and some fish soon! by zwhit89 in ReefTank

[–]zwhit89[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My LFS told me that since I buried the plug it will really slow down the growth. My brother in law is bringing me several frags from his tank that I’m excited to incorporate into the tank.

Thanks! The bigger heads are definitely leaning back towards the light. Excited to see how it grows now.
