Sounds like a headache. Could have had eggs on the gsp. I don't think dips effect eggs.
Nice aquascape!!Hello welcome to my build thread on a aqua one 300 reef ( believe is around 80 us gallons)
Had dt running about 5 weeks at moment and first week or so ghost feeding every other day then left for 1 .5 weeks then started adding doctor tims amnonia chloride and seachem stabilty for 7 days and and done nothing for about 2 weeks now ( amnonia staying put at 1ppm and 0.25 ppm on a api test kit)
Got qt cycled using doctor tims one and only and amnonian chloride and after 22 days i joined reef 2 reef and asked advice on " is my qt cycled ) after reading lots threads saying nitrite in a salt water tank shouldnt even be tested for as chloride in salt stops the fish intaking nitrite so not toxic,most agreed even though my api test kit read 2 or maybe 5ppm nitrite ( even after a 90% water change ,i know sounds strange but did test correctly and thats what it said and still says ) coming from just under 10 years in freshwater side of fish keeping adding fish to a tank which shows high pevel of nitrite isnt good idea,but i went along with it and bought 2 common clown fish ( i wanted 2 black ice clown fish but my 3 year old daughter pointed out to me " nemo is orange " and she wants nemo so she won ) plus alot cheaper and common clownfish still nice looking fish.after accliminising them i noticed straight away one had clamped fins and big lumps behind each eye ,so now im ummm i naively thought got qt tank but just be observong fish for one month and all be and possibly need medications but be after 1 year ( how wrong i was .) I just took both first fish back and changed for another 2 clownfish from same tank at lfs ( as this thread progresses we shall find out if i made wrong decision by not returning fish and going fallow for 6 weeks ( as got told possible brook,or for 76 days to eradicate most parasites.
Current fts 26/04/22 in blue/white,only just found out could do this ^_^
Thanks very much ,took me 3-4 hours over 5-7 days if remember rightly.Nice aquascape!!
Yeah my wrasse annoys me so much ,every few hours or so he dive bombs the sand and then catches the bugs that now in water Column ,or least looks like this anyway,but fine -ish sand and wrasse that putting in water coloumn and landing on and irritating corals could make me also go to remove my silver belly wrasse,even though he my cheapest and favourite fish and probably helping me eat all them pests in videos on that thread I shared couple posts back, so if removed him,could have even bigger problem than I do already lol.Torches hate sand being spat on them. I am almost feeling if I want to keep torches, I may need to remove sand bed. Malenurus wrasse is getting a new home because of always spitting sand on coral and eating my cuc.
Edit: tank has been getting fed 5+ times a day. He has no excuse!
Thanks.Sorry your slug problem isn't going away
Fish don't seem to be affected at all, just carrying on as normal ,same for snails ,hermits,cleaner shrimp and pistol shrimp,just recently found like orange stuff on sand,first thought was the conch as it was face down into pistols lair ,but reached in and moved it,and its moved so alive but moved to entrance to one off caves in my rocks and just chilling there so what I seen I'm guessing one off the trouchus dead maybe and other end off tank seen a few nassarious snails together so seems like they eating something but can't see nothing and can't see any empty shells from a recently died snail so not sure,but all nass snails out and about and trouchus snails active on rocks and glass.How are the corals looking? How are the fish?
