This could be the case. Though, I don't have a blue devil damsel, but I did get some blue Chromis fish.
As of now, I have a clown tang, a yellow tang, a blond naso tang, chromis, and a yellow head gobi.
Thank you.
PBT about a one year.
yellow belly Blue Tang 4+ years.
Sohal Tang 6 months
Purple Tang 6 months
Bangi bijama fish 3 month
Anthias 3 months
There are a few others that I am just too depressed to remember.
Not before this ordeal started. I added a nem two weekends ago and a couple of frags from folks this past weekend. I dip all my corals and acclimate.... but to your point, this could just be a slow death for most of them.
Found my powder blue dead this morning. I don't see any scars/wounds. I'm just speechless.
On top of this, I am leaving on a trip tonight for a week. Will see what's left when I get back.
When I get back, I am going to start setting up another smaller tank. Take all the fish out. Almost...
No big changes.
Same schedule for the past couple of years. Two months ago I got the plank and been using it to feed the same food/pellets, but also mixed plankton with it. The fish devour it. Of course I also add nori for the tangs and other herbivores.
I don't disagree with you. But I do need a solution for all the detritus/debris in my tank. Filter socks are a pain.
Curious to know more about why you think it's unnecessary?
i didn’t take too many pics of the fish as it was kind bare.
I did do an ICP test and it came back last Friday. Nothing I didn’t already know. Higher phosphates. No heavy metals indicated in the report. See images below.
As far as the string poop, I have not seen any stringy poop to be honest.
yes. Two drains and one emergency drain. Also, my drains are 1.5" I'll have to significantly reduce/restrict the flow which may not be ideal for this size of a tank.
Yeah. I think two small ones would probably be best. But that's gonna be pricy.
I sent an email to Red Sea. Let's see what...
My motivation to get one is to get rid of the detritus/debris in my tank. But my issue currently is, I have custom filter sock chamber, and I'm just not sure how it will fit. Unless I Dremel the area, but I'm not too crazy about the idea. Unless there is a hang on version.
