thanks for the help, i thought it was one.

Will it die? i mean the tank has been set up for 2 days and alot of die off and stuff is taking place, high ammonia. Skimmer is working overtime. It was on my LR i am not stocking my tank for at least a month, will they make it?

 

[Azurel]

They might not make it, yumas are very finicky and high ammonia will most likely do them in.....

 

[spanishmack]

they wont make it thru the cycle as you have explained it, maybe get someone to babysit them for you or sell them to another aquarist. RTAW has a classifieds section. if you are in perth i can babysit them for you/buy them maybe. i would start changing water to stop even more dieoff on your rock.

 

[Ehudd]

its looking heaps better, i did a water change, ammonia is still high but its alright.

Spanishmack! good to see someone else from perth, if you want a frag, i can give you one, i have 8 of them.

 

[spanishmack]

thats good that its looking better. thanks for the offer on the ric, i may just take you up on the offer, i'll have a ric to trade for it i'm sure. if it starts to go pear shaped with the cycle give me a yell and i can babysit them for you if you like.

i spend a bit of time on RTAW forums, do you?

 

[Ehudd]

sorry dont know what that forum is :S

Yea that would be awsome, none of my mates have fish tanks.
I got the rics from veba's, on one of the LR pieces! lol and if you know that shop, they are so stupid, they dont even know what a ric is!

RTAW, reefing the australian way

this corallimorph forum is the best for ric advice, but for general stuff rtaw is a very good reference and most of the people are helpful and friendly

i live north of the river so don't get to vebas at all, but yeh i have heard of the rics they get, they are misnamed by the collector and they do the same thing.
