Is ChatGPT right?

[scaredmantisshrimp]

That's understandable, I wanted to respond to the post I was quoted in to clarify how I was using AI with my tank planning since I stand by it being useful in the way I used it. I've enjoyed our discourse over the last day and hope I haven't come off as confrontational with you. If so, was not my intention.

Also, poor OP is going to be an extra @scaredmantisshrimp when he opens his notifications.

Fr bro this post was dead for like five days I come back to this

Will possibly end up fighting. Territorial. Damsel relatives. I’d get 1


All above good
Gramma is semi aggressive. Hit or miss

Coral eater


Both good


Ok


Hit or miss. Some end up pestering lps corals to death. Some are model citizens


More like 15-20. Great clean up crew member

All good

One per 75g

You’ll eventually get these free as hitchhikers. But can buy if wanted sooner. Good guys to have

Ok

You’ll regret it in a year. They shed branch nubs that blow around to the most inconvenient spots then attach and form new Kenya tree. Your tank will be taken over. Ask me how I know and I’ll give pics of what happened to me.

I consider this nice looking but invasive. Isolate on its own rock. It will spread on anything it’s rock touches. Difficult to remove.


Your coral list is up to you.

Add 10-20 Mexican turbo snails, or astraea or a combination of both

Add a yellow coris wrasse. Peaceful. Durable. Bright. Good pest hunter also.

I’ve been keeping 75g reefs for 12 years. My info is verified :)

I heard the yellow coris wrasse will get aggressive with my other wrasse what your opinion, he also really liked how the comet fish (marine betta) looked they seem peaceful, except to small invertebrates whatever be safe to add that

1. Noted
2. Nice
3. I bought them for my favorite LFS they were in the same thing and we’re chilling next to each other I asked a couple employees about cycling and they told me that fish in cycling is the way to go and I ultimately ended up getting the two clown fish and now they’re in the tank
4. What does 10-4 mean
5. Thanks

10-4 means OK lol

I believe the coris wrasse will get along because it doesn’t look like the other wrasses. They tend to fight if they are the same type, but different types usually get along

 

[scaredmantisshrimp]

Ok, also what do you think about the comet fish

 

[BeanAnimal]

I think you need to get through your first few months and focus on learning what you are doing and go from there. Your perspective on what you want, how to take care if it and what works and does not work are going to change as your move forward.

See the Mike Tyson quote about having a plan until....

Marine betta is typically peaceful but may eat shrimp. They also like darker environments and might spend most time in shadows, behind rocks, and in darker areas until they are comfortable

Ok thank you

I don't know AI from BC or any other letter combinations or letters that don't make sense but I wanted to correct this statement of "mine" that you posted. I never encouraged to feed leavily. I encourage to feed correctly and in my mind that means to only feed foods with living gut bacteria which only comes from the guts of living creatures and no dry foods.

I think this one thing that few understand is which makes all the disease threads on all forums.

OK I will go back to reading all of Beans fascinating inputs and leave you all to these abbreviations.

(Why is the word "abbreviations" so long? You would think you could abbreviate it. )

Thank you for correcting me. I wish now I knew what I was originally quoting when I said it that gave me the misunderstanding! Is it accurate to say that you discourage light feeding as a means of reducing nutrient loads in the tank, in order to encourage a stronger biome, or is my understanding just entirely wrong?

No, that is fine. I am actually "light" feeding now to reduce a whole lot of algae and after a few months, it worked. Unfortunately, my corals think they are algae and are also shrinking. But they will regrow as soon as I start making a mess of my tank.

I think we feed to much anyway, especially dry foods which are loaded with artificial colors, fillers and preservatives. I don't eat that stuff and I don't want my fish to.

Just look at the ingredients on dry foods. Do most of those chemicals look like food?

Yeah!

Dihydrogen Monoxide sounds like it would be terrible for fish!

lol

Yes, I am looking at the ingredients on a can of "quality" dry food now. There has to be 60 or 70 ingredients and maybe 3 or 4 of them are actually food.

Iron oxide, or rust, menadione sodium, No clue. Bethane hydrocloride. Like really! and I can't even copy most of the rest of them including all the preservatives. What are they preserving? The artificial colors!

The second ingredient is wheat flour, or bread which is practically free. Do fish need bread?

menadione sodium, No clue.

It’s a vitamin (K3). lol

 

[Announcera]

I’ve used nitrate and phosphate kits right after feeding and got higher readings too. Waiting a few hours gives more stable results, so timing does make a difference for me.

 

[Announcera]

That’s a really full list for a 75, and it looks beautiful on paper. I once built out a smaller reef plan with ChatGPT too, then ran it past an experienced hobbyist . A couple of fish got swapped because of compatibility and bioload, so you might want to double-check the anthias and chromis numbers with someone who’s kept them long-term.
