lol tryin to write when the baby is screamin at me dont work my spelling is bad

well checked my qt tank again tonight and water is at 5-10 nitrate and that has got few small bits of LR from main tank so same as before i put it in there

 

[Tony_essex]

well ive moved all my corals apart from the mushroom rock as its holdin everything up lol to my QT tank plus my 3 new frags that i got today

i plan to move the fish and all CUC tomorrow and remove rest of LR to my temp containers for few days and then hopefuly i plan to empty the tank of ant small liveforms i find in sand and rear and keep them then clean the tank out completely and clean my wavemakers as they now brown ! then replace the new sand and new rear pumps then refill with RO water that im saltin myself for first time as i have 34KG of salt sittin there lol

then plan to stick new media in rear fit new skimmer in rear and then The LR and corals leave for few days then stick the fish back in

whats best way to mix the salt and how much do i need ?

 

[Tony_essex]

found 1 or 2 stars in the rear chambers when cleanin it out today lol god knows how many are in the main tank then

also seffie there 5 bags of LR rub in rear do i need 5 bags ? and could this also be storein Nitrate and be a cause of my high nitrate

 

[fishy55599]

[Tony_essex]

lol that was just on the bags of media in rear i have seen loads and loads and loads in main tank lol dunno if havin 2 many is a problem lol

 

[fishy55599]

[Tony_essex]

will that eat them then ? ill have a look for 1

 

[fishy55599]

there diet is starfish only, eat nothing but starfish

 

[seffieuk]

Why would you want to get rid of them, they are great

 

[fishy55599]

i agree they are great
but if you dont like too many that is an option

 

[Tony_essex]

there are loads and loads in the tank its not i dont like them just didnt no if 2 many would eb a problem in a small tank

 

[woody88]

I would leave them in bud! They look ace!

 

[Stampos]

Plus harlequin shrimp would demolish them in no time and then slowly perish

Stars are good CUC imo

 

[Tony_essex]

cheers guys
