Hi Everyone! Happy Holidays!!! I need advice please. In addition to my pico reef. I have an 8 gallon lagoon/macroalgae/dwarf seahorse tank that has a pair of dwarf seahorses, tons of live mysid, amphipods and copepods. All of which are thriving. It's a 7 year old established tank. My quandary is that I also love those Florida yellow sand sifting sea cucumbers. I had one once that lasted about a year. I can't seem to keep them alive very long now. The parameters of the tank are an sg of 1.026, a pH of 8.3/4, phosphorus of 26-42 ppb, nitrates between 2-5, 0 ammonia & nitrites, photoperiod of 14 hours with an AI Prime HD with moonlight, hydor 300 gph pump. I feed the sandbed daily with algae pellets and debride the macro biweekly for nutrient export. Any advice on what else I can do to maximize lifespan of these wonderful creatures?
Thanks and Happy Holidays!
