Can anyone help me figure out why my tank is so cloudy? Did a 15% water change yesterday hoping it would clear, but it's the same. We have a lot of hair algae (got a lawnmower blenny). We took the front rocks out yesterday and cleaned them (just with a toothbrush to get some of the algae off) in the water we took out.
Tank is 2.5 months old, has 3 fish and a bunch of CUC. I was adding Purple Up for a few weeks every 3 days or so and that was making it cloudy, but haven't added any in almost 2 weeks because of the constant cloudiness.
Please be kind, I'm still learning. My parameters are below and have been steady. We used Dr Tim's method for startup and have had 0 Nitrites and 0 Ammonia since mid-January.
Would like to add 1 or maybe 2 more fish, more open water swimming would be nice. I had a 1.5 year old Biocube 32 with 2 clowns, 1 lawnmower blenny, and 1 diamond goby. As well as sufficient cuc. Planning on upgrading to a 90 gallon in the next year or 2 if that helps with adding a juvenile larger species. Anyone have some recommendations? TIA
Looking for opinions on final fish to add to my mixed reef tank. I have a 125 gallon (2’x2’x4’) tank. Currently have a quoyi parrot fish, 2 watanabei angels, a magnificent fox face, a mandarin, a Midas blenny, a naoko wrasse, 2 clowns, and a Randal goby. My plan is to add a bristle tooth tang (either a tomini or maybe a Kole tang) and maybe a Bella Rose goby? Or maybe a female mandarin as the male has bee showing off his fins lately. Is this too much? I have a large varied clean up crew, a 40g sump with an over sized skimmer, a lot of media and a Clarissea roller.
Had a question for anyone that owns a court jester goby(Rainfords goby) or bi-color blenny. Do they do a good job eating hair algae? Which one is better at eating the algae if you’ve owned both? Thanks!
I got got my tailspot blenny on Saturday but now there’s this weird white film on its side. I’ve seen the night stripes on it and this doesn’t look like them, I don’t know what’s wrong with it. Does anyone have any ideas? (sorry the pictures aren’t great it’s still a little shy)
