How did you get 2 sets of clowns to live in harmony?

i added them both on the same day, they get along very well too. I've never seen them have any issues. they are also angels when I'm feeding or when i have my hands in the tank.

I thought clown gobys and coral gobys were the same fish? Haha

 

[leodb89]

Coral gobies are those tiny yellow or sometimes black ones. And clown goby is usually green with markings on it a massive head and a small body

 

[Bdear22]

Yeah I'm pretty sure they're the same species though?

Stunning mate. That plating monti is going nuts.

I think you'd had better frag it soon otherwise it will take over the tank ;) I'm happy to take a bit off your hands ... all for the sake of your tank you know :P

You still just dosing 0.35ml 2 * daily for Start3?

Ben

 

[OSCAR85]

No just 0.30ml daily x 2

how often do you find the algae building up on glass and having to clean or are you really low with nutrients

happy to frag it, but as i would know how to pack it pick up would be best.

i clean it once a week. I have just starting using biomate twice a week. 3 drops. That has also helped.

 

[OSCAR85]

sorry one is yellow and the other green :)

@vpreef Hi just thought id run it by you. I just changed the stones over 3rd time. Im getting some bleaching from the base up of one of my sps. cats paw coral i think its called. My flow through reactor was 330lph, I've now lowered it to 280lph, removed some stones and did a water change and the issue is still occurring. I also didn't let the stones sit in ro water for 2 days prior. Not sure if this may be the cause. I have tagged g.alexander in zeovit forum awaiting response. Any thoughts?I also just replaced the carbon at the same time. I use matrix carbon its quite strong i think. I have jus removed some. Maybe this will help

 

[thepubenator]

Changing carbon and zeolites at the same time is not recommended as it is a harsh/drastic change at once. Reduce the flow to half recommended flow rate for 1 week then asses and increase to 3/4 rate additional week then back to normal. Also check alk fluctuations

 

[vpreef]

as @thepubenator has suggested. I have found carbon in the past to cause STN in acro's.
