    green algae

    my tank has finally cleared up and is stable. I wanted to start a Tank Journal and share everything about the tank - before, current and future ideas. I wanted to read some other journals for pointers. Since I have a small 30g tank, I decided to read another small tank journal. So I read...

    Tiny Maroon clown fish (gone)

    @MichaelB - I can take it off of your hands. Once it settles in and is destressed, I can put it on DBTC. I am looking to get a pair of perculas eventually, else I would get a second maroon clown and call it done...but one never knows I will be in the south bay on Wednesday.

    Growing copepods

    Look forward to your findings. I do not want to increase algae growth by adding too much phyto

    Growing copepods

    No refugium atm. Previously I did not have macro algae in the tank. Now I have chaeto. I believe that is where the scar hangout. So you reckon the pods will grow within the chaeto? That would be really swell!

    Tiny Maroon clown fish (gone)

    @MichaelB - what is the advisable tank size for a pair of percula clowns? i had a pair in a 20g for a while along with a blue tang. i got the tank like that and folks were surprised that I was able to keep a blue tang in there for the life of the tank.

    Growing copepods

    I want to create a healthy copepod population in my tank before introducing fish and more shrimp. Any tips on how to go about it? Previously when I had four fish and two shrimp, I ordered the pods and phyto from AlgaeBarn but the copepod population never took hold. Instead of doing the same...

    Frozen food choice and have you had any issues?

    since i only have an anemone and one peppermint shrimp, i feed the anemone a tiny piece of salmon or mackerel from my own food. I feed the shrimp a tiny bit of Ocean Nutrition flakes once every 3-4 days. i was going to ask how often I should feed the one shrimp =)

    Free GSP

    @metareefer - i am doing just that with the back of my tank. I put three pieces across the base since they grow upwards and spread outwards a bit. i learned that it has to be full flat piece and not be a like a little branch piece.

    What other hobbies do you have?

    did you ever start the home brewing? I have hens and was going to go to the local breweries to see if they would give me their used grains to feed the ladies

    green algae

    Added 5 trochus snails to eat up the GHA and they are having a blast. One of the peppermint shrimp reappeared long enough for me to feed it. @Kensington Reefer - temp is 77F. Thanks for the advice. The nem has opened up wider and I think it is the temp. Probably by next month, I shall start a...

    green algae

    Yes this hobby is intensive and I have been burnt out twice previously. That was pre-forum/community and the only person I could speak about the hobby was the guy at the LFS' that I was going to at the time. So hoping for a better run this time round. After all, the sixth tank is the charm...

    green algae

    Bay Bridges no longer carry saltwater fish to speak off. They have some now and then. They are mainly all about freshwater fish. They still carry saltwater and RODI and it is a 2 minute drive from my place =) Yes, been to High Tide, gorgeous livestock. Also went to a talk there once. It is...

    green algae

    thanks @Alexander1312 . I used a refractometer to test the salinity. the RODI and saltwater is purchased from Bay Bridges Aquarium in West Oaktown. Heater is plugged in. I plan to do a LFS water test next Wednesday when I have to go down South.
