Hi guys! I have a couple of questions that I looked for direct answers to, but couldn't find in the threads I searched.
1. Do you need to feed your acans, zoas, and hammer corals? If so what do you feed them. I am currently just dosing with fusion 1 & 2, Seachems fuel and ion. Is this enough? Every thing appears to be doing great....
2. Skimmer related- This is my second tank, my first was 125 (no longer have got out for awhile), now have a RSM250. Skimmer is not really producing the stinky green froth (it is frothing alt, just not green). I am however running a bag of purigen and a UV light off of my chiller line. Current- bio load are (4) clowns, (2) anemones (1 haitan(sp?) and one BTA, these will be give away next week if any one wants them as I am getting new ones from LA reef</em>) and (2) fire fish gobies. In addition I do water changes (5 gallons) about every 3 days(I know more than necessary, just like a clean tank). I do have a full clean up crew and a few hitchhikers bistle worms, 2-3 starfish (very small, not sure what kind).
I had a terrible cyano out break when I first got the tank (I purchased this setup used with sand and rock, had about 4 hrs of down time before I got it back up and running) that I couldn't shake, I spoke with a LFS after we confirmed other issues were not the problem. (very helpful, sold me Red Slime. Worked great! Thanks Jenn!) The cyano has not returned and this was about 1 month ago.
The question I am trying to get at is...... How many more fish can I add? Can I add a sand sifting goby to help keep the top of the sand looking great? My concern here is the existing fire fish gobies that I already have. Is there a guideline of gallons per inches of fish? The water perimeters are in good shape and I am feeding the fish 1/2 cube of the frozen mysis shrimp every other day, the others I am looking to add are as follows;
1. Goby (mentioned above)
2. Blenny (lawn mower)
3. Tang (must be reef safe, wife wants a yellow, I want something a little different)
4. Anything with bright colors....
5. I have a LFS looking for (2) fighting conchs
Any questions answered will be helpful and thanks in advance!
