I'd be doing water changes, even small ones daily, and adding prime, and would also add another bottle of biospira. Not only should you not have fish in to cycle a tank, adding that many fish all at once is also not good as your good bacteria need time to adjust to the bio load. In the beginning, it's best to add just a few fish at a time, not 7. Right now, the focus should be getting ammonia and nitrites to 0 Nitrates won't harm the fish
I started with a tank and a Marineland HOB filter. I did water changes religiously and grew all kinds of corals. Sumps are good for hiding equipment and increasing total water capacity but they are not a necessity.
also my anemone plant got stuck on the filter somehow i detached him and i found like some pieces of tentacles on the filter pad. The plant is still alive cause i fed him a krill and he eat it. thats the only thing that happened a few days ago
Cloudy water is most likely a bacterial bloom and should clear up on its own. Anemone isn’t a plant it’s an invertebrate, and if they get stuck to a pump like it did and were to die it would most likely kill the fish in your tank unless you’re running a sufficient amount of carbon to absorb the toxins.
In my FOWLR tank I only do water changes to keep my nitrates and phosphates down so that I don’t get nuisance algae growing or risk a cyano outbreak. That being said with my feeding amount and schedule, I do a water change about once a month. My reef tank however gets a water change weekly to replenish trace elements, calcium, etc.
friday i found my fire shrimp shed and the anemone had it in its mouth is this normal?. my shrimp is completely fine i thought he had eat my fire shrimp
