SRC Member diki88 Posted April 10, 2018 SRC Member Share Posted April 10, 2018 stop buying fish or corals or anemone. or any livestocks. you are just going to get more dead animals the more u do this till you end up decomming cause you keep flushing money down the toilet. stop adding any corals/anemones. if your fish can die within hours, what more corals/anemone. keep one tank, suggest the ios with livestock. the other one decomm. wait for nitrite and ammonia to to drop to zero. not cause its toxic but that means there's still ammonia, which is toxic to fishes, present. btw to whoever is reading, nitrite is not as toxic as others have stated. read the following link and see how high can a tank-bred clownfish stand nitrite levels. http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2005-06/rhf/index.php. unless there's a new study proving otherwise, its to clear misconceptions. change 50% of the water once ammonia/nitrite zero. meantime, feed your damsel. thats it. dont add anything anymore. if you can do this, then its a good first step.

rojakclownfish Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 I believe water is really the foundation of any tank, even more so for a nano tank. so really need to be patient and ensure water is stable before introducing fishes and corals. we wouldn't build our house with straws because the big bad wolf will blow our house down. same theory for a tank. haha. all the best and hope you will persevere with this hobby!! fighting~!

SRC Member JMW Posted April 10, 2018 SRC Member Share Posted April 10, 2018 If you are in it for the long term, invest in refractometer in order to know what your salinity is. I would consider reliable test kits staple equipment too. & pls stop buying more livestock to throw in “to see if your water is ok”. We learn hard lessons as we go in our way in the hobby but one of the most important lesson is that we as hobbyists have a responsibility to the livestock once we buy them from the LFS or other reefers. Damsel or not, it is still a life. Sometimes the gravity of this tends to get away. Staying tuned to when you have some water parameters to share so that all of us here can help you out. lastly, this hobby needs patience......... so cliche but so true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member NubReefer Posted April 15, 2018 SRC Member Share Posted April 15, 2018 My only tip is take your time, slowly add in other animal, start with a damsle. Then maybe couple of nassarius snail, and work your way up to hard coral and anemone! I feel your pain when all your fish died, but its a cycle so again, practice make perfect.Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member nyxnhh Posted April 17, 2018 SRC Member Share Posted April 17, 2018 what is the highest salinity that fishes and corals can endure? I am using red sea coral pro salt. followed their instructions for 38.2g/L and i ended up with 1.028 salinity...is it too high? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solo77 Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Normal salinity 1.020 to 1.024.....if u buy stock and don't acclimatize properly.. Yr livestock may get 'shock' and die... Shrimp is very sensitive.

SRC Member nyxnhh Posted April 17, 2018 SRC Member Share Posted April 17, 2018 i dont have shrimps. got 2 separate nano tanks. one for clownfishes, anemones and soft corals. the other nano solely seahorse. salinity also differs at separate time of the day, right?

SRC Member Jeebusai Posted April 20, 2018 SRC Member Share Posted April 20, 2018 Nice! Have you bought any refractometer ot test kits? I will think minimal will be to check for Salinity & Ammonia (Min). I started with 3 test kits. Now i have so many i dont want to count LOL. BTW, I am a newbie too, but I agree that correct and stable water parameters is of utmost importance! Happy reefing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
