Will you carry on breeding clowns when the new tanks done?

shes been breeding them recently so most likely??

 

[-Nemo-]

Oh yes, of course. Although once I move them, they may not spawn again for a while, until they get comfortable.


Water stats today:
NH3- 1.5
NO2- 0.25
NO3- 0

 

[-Nemo-]

Day 7 of cycling, stats:

Ammonia: 1.0
NitRITes: 0.10
NitRATes: 15.0


Getting there!

 

[-Nemo-]

Stats today tested as,

NH3- 0.25
NO2- 0.10
NO3- 20.0


Ammonia dropped a ton! I have since added 61ml more ammonia tonight and will test again in the morning.

 

[-Nemo-]

Test last night:
NH3- 2.0
NO2- 0.25
NO3- 20.0


This morning:
NH3- 1.5
NO2- 0.40
NO3- 20-30?


The difference between the two tests is about 12 hours, and since the ammonia dropped by 0.5, it should be dropping 1.0ppm a day. I'll test tonight to confirm. If so, it's sure sped up!

 

[-Nemo-]

Still cycling...

Ammonia was down to 0.25 a couple days ago, so I dosed more ammonia.
As of yesterday, the stats were:
NH3- 2.0
NO2- 1.0
NO3- 20... still?

I'll test again today once my classes are over.


Trying to catch my manager this week to see if we work something out about the laboute's and possibly rhomboid wrasse

 

[-Nemo-]

Ammonia is now going down 3.0ppm every 12 hours. Getting close! Talked to my manager about the fairies, she's getting back to me this week about pricing

 

[Morri]

Nice choice on Wrasses`s Nemo have both in mine the Rhomboid shows his proper colours a lot more since adding the Labouti

Neither are cheap you are just like me with an expensive taste in fish

 

[-Nemo-]

Just looked at the couple pictures you had of em, makes me want them more!
Can't decide between lineatus or rhomboid. I definitely want the laboute's.

Manager said she can get me the wrasses for 50% off retail, i'm perfectly OK with that

 

[Morri]

Nice deal on the discount the Lineatus is one of my other favorites what about a nice Cirrhilabrus jordani they are stunning as well

I also like the Cirrhilabrus bathyphilus but they are not very common in the UK.

I could double my tank size and still not have enough room for all the Wrasse I would add

Oops forgot to say I will try and get some decent photos over the weekend showing both of the Rhomboid and the Labouti in full colours

 

[-Nemo-]

Thanks Morri

I was looking at the jordani too, but not too sure. Too hard to choose
I should just copy paste your stock list... you have nearly all the fish i want anyways

 

[simonas]

are Wrasse that gooda fish to keep? I;ve never considered them but then I;m a novice with marine fish species. can I keep one in a 20g and if so what would you recomend?

Fairy wrasses are adorable, very active and friendly fish; beautiful colors too!

Can't really do any in a 20G I think even a sixline would be pushing it and sixlines can be meanies. Wrasses need plenty of swimming space.

 

[Morri]

Have to agree with Nemo Wrasse are one of the most stunning collection of fish families you can keep but they do need a bit of swimming space the smallest wrasse I can think of would be a Flasher and they tend to need a good 2 ft if not 3 to dart around in there is an easy answer Simon BIGGER TANK

Nemo if your current tank is anything to go by this one will be a stunner

Have you thought about the NP Biopellets for this one ? I am running them on mine at the moment just got upto 1L, I cannot get a reading on my phosphate kit anymore and Nitrates are slowly coming down sat around 8 - 10 its a nice way of managing any nutrients and it adds good bacteria to the tank and for the corlas to feed on
