Hi everyone,
After running my tank for 1 month with live rock and sand (after having the cycle completed), I decided to add the below live stock (as per to the suggestion of my LFS who had built my tank)
1. Cinnamon Clown x2
2. Toadstool leather
3. Waving hand anthelia
4. Hermit x5
5. Snails x15
It had been 1 week since I have them. The anthelia started to open its polyps just today, the toadstool is not happy so far. I couldn't see any improvement with the toadstool yet. I would require some support on how I can make him feel happy.
Also, the cinnamon clowns look to be too shy to show themselves. Though the tank is 180 gallon (such a huge area for them), they are alway hiding behind the rocks and don't swim at all. They become active once I feed them only. Is this normal for a cinnamon clown or do I need to be concerned with them?
Below is the chemistry of my water;
pH 8.0
Ammonia 0ppm
Nitrite 0ppm
Nitrate 80ppm
Calcium 140ppm
KH 125.3ppm (7dKH)
Phosphate 0ppm
Salinity 1.028
Since the last week, I am changing 5 gallons of water every day with direct RODI water (my initial salinity was 1.036 and trying to reduce to 1.026 via this practice, hope this is right).
I would appreciate all the input so that I can make my fellows happy and start to add more neighbors and friends
Below are some pictures from them;
