Quarantineing the Tangs before I move them to the new tank. Inplant to add a few new fish before these guy get in there. So this way the new fish have time to establish them selves while the tang gang takes a break.
I setup a quarantine tank setup for a new fish and live rock. Been a few days now. Got this out of the live rock today. Can I get help knowing what some of these things are? New to saltwater beginner here.
A couple of weeks in and things are going decently well! Introducing clowns has been much more stressful than I anticipated!
Yes, I said a couple of weeks. My tank was bought as an established set up with live rock, GSP, an orange storm clown, a pajama cardinal, and four scarlet hermit crabs. It went through a mini cycle as the bacteria recovered from the move and is now experiencing a mini ugly phase as parameters stabilize. CUC was added after the tank finished cycling (I added extra bacteria to give it a boost), and now I'm working on introducing a black and white ocellaris to my orange storm. My orange storm is a butt so she's in breeder box jail for a bit.
Day #1 (RE CONTINUED) updating my tank
Bought a turbo snail and RBTA (red bubble tip anemone) yesterday
And the anemone was looking fine today.
except the snail... Still hiding in shell (still alive
Started cycling my Hello Reef last week, and today I saw my first signs of nitrite!
I’ve been ghost-feeding consistently since day one, and the bacteria are finally kicking in.
I’m thinking about starting to quarantine a few members of the clean-up crew soon.
What do you guys recommend, should I wait a bit longer or start prepping the QT now?
