What's up everybody... So new to the scene. So go easy I picked up a 9gal Nano tank that was already established. Supposedly 6mo and the live rock was taken from a 1yr established tank.
So fast forward to today and I've now had this tank for about 3mo.. Added a few things.. And it seems to be going well.
My last recorded readings were
My zoanthids dont seem to be doing well.. 3 frags of them.. 2 are small and ok, 3rd is a bit larger and not 'blossoming' as they were weeks ago.
I did adjust my lighting a week ago due to some growth on the substrate (see in pics). And Im working on a water flow problem. My wavemaker is a bit too powerful and cheap filter doesn't do much (AQ 20). I am actually in the market for a new tank. But learning what I can with this one.
Since this is my problem thread, I'll add another issue.. So I bristle worms. Not sure traps would work as it's a small tank.. So I currently stalk the tank at midnight when they come out and do my best to catch them. But the other night I saw something different.. it was a long tentacle coming from my LR.. It was smooth (not like bristle) and it was just reaching upwards. I want to say greyish in color. It was quicker than a BW in going back into the rock. Any ideas on it? First time I've seen it.
Here are my readings.
8.2PH - Ammonia - 0 N03 - 0 N02 - 400 Cal (added cal) - Salinity 1.025 - P04 .25
Light put on timer from 9am to 7pm. Changed from 5am to 9pm.. And I put the blue light on for the last hourish.
