hi everyone
merry christmas , i'm new to this board but have been folling some of the questions asked and answered for a little while now and find you all to be quite informative .
i came from christmas dinner tonite to find two of my fish to have what i think is piscine TB [ this was the closest i could get from any of my books]my red tail filefish was all but dead , i found him tucked under some rocks very faded and both eyes bugged right out . i removed him right away and then noticed my white saddled clown had one eye bugged out as well . he seemed to be allright other than that though [ eating still and swimming around ]
since none of you know me i wil give you a little info on my setup :
i had a 48gal tank setup since june this year and it had been doing quite well , i decided a month ago to upgrade to a 75 gallon tank and change it over slowly to a reef setup. [ i used about 90% of my old water on my switch and live rock so i was informed i would not really need to cycle it this way ] i had added a few corals in this time , i now have around 80 - 100 # LR , bubble coral , three mushroom rocks , cabbage coral ? small carpet anenome,and what i was told is a cauliflower coral ?
fish are yellow tang , flame angel , electric blue damsel , and the clown i mentioned above [ also 10 blue legged hermit crabs ]
filteration is in tank [ not quite sure what it would be called ] but in simple terms the water flows into a small chamber with heater first then into next area with carbon bag and the thru biological filter befor returning [ no pumps at all just move thru with water move ment of the tank .
i have a seaclone skimmer [ i know not too good ] but is starting to work better lately
lighting is 440watts vho lighting [ icecap ballast . and water movement is 3 powerheads hooked to wavemaker pro .
OK ... sorry little long but i thought since you wouldn't know about my tank at all this would help with any other questions i will have [ i'm sure i'll have more lol ]
all test have cheched out fine as well [ ph 8.1 nitrate below 0 and salinty 1.020
any ideas would be extremely appreciated
thanks all [ look forward to bein a part of your board ]
