chris_kerryn Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 I set up my 75 litre system 2 months ago and have had nothing but problems, especially with water quality. Have had fatalities, even once all tests were ok. Not sure what it was. Going to leave it for a while now.everything is covered in green and brown algae even though I clean it 1-2 times per week. Does it cause WQ problems when you clean of the algae and dont get it all sucked up. It looks like it dies on the bottom. My tank is too small to suck heaps of water while cleaning otherwise the water changes are too big. With the money I have spent on this small system because I want to shift house soon and also wanted to try it first before spending too much money, I should have just gone for the bigger one which sounds a lot easier and you can actually put fish in it. Not having the best time with it. One good thing is I have noticed a small anenome of some type starting to grow. god know what type it is though. It will probably grow up and kill something else. I hope I can get my tank lookn like this. How are the chromis with other fish? When I get to put some in I would like a clown and one or two others. Problem is all the small fish either get big or dont get on with each other. ie damsels. probably should have started a new string! chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetskisteve Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 Hang in there Chris. As we always say PATIENCE is the key, chromis are the most peaceful fish 99% of the time & are a good starter but only add them if you're tests are good.

ben19185074 Posted November 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 My chromis has half it tail bitten off once (grown back now) i think is one of the other chromis that did it. They also eat very quick they may cause other fish to not eat enough. Other then that i have no problem with it at all. Very good starter fish.

petplanet Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 My tank must be crap to. No cyno for three years or more. Great water circulation and plenty of grazing fish take care of it. Didn't even have any when my phosphate level was 10+ppm. That worm must die!!! A wrasse will help take care of them. Read up on them in that book I lent you.

chimera Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 if you dont want the worm, i'll have it!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petplanet Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 bristle worms eat corals, clams, anemones and snails. Especially the big worms. I never chance it and get rid of any I find. My wrasse loves eating them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimera Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 my refugium would love that worm to help turn over the substrate. if you're giving it away, i'll even make a special trip for a single worm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 You're the first one I've ever heard say that. Everyone else for the most part says they're harmless detritus eaters. Only a possible risk when they get to be several feet long and the width of your thumb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wrasse loves eating them. Very few species of bristle worms eat corals. Another one of those reefing myths which has been passed on for years. Of course you could be unlucky and end up with one which does eat coral, but unlikely. Layton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
