    Cleaner Shrimp with Hawkfish?

    in General Reefkeeping_

    Posted

    Hi all,

    Should I risk buying a Cleaner Shrimp and putting it in with my Hawkfishes? The two coral-banded shrimp so far are fine, wondering if Cleaners will survive.

    Thanks!

    Get a big cleaner. Small onces will not make it. I have 2 fire and 2 cleaner and 1 flame hawkfish....use to have 2 hawkfish before my carpet ate one.

    live rotifer. Where to get?

    How much phytoplankton do you feed per day? Live or Instant Algae?

    From my limited knowledge, you do not need light to culture rotifer unless you are using live phytoplankton. Just ensure that the water is slightly green at all times. Since you are keeping it at room temperature, did you do any water changes? The culture water is pretty dirty if you do not carry out water changes since the metabolism rate is high. It is recommended to harvest about 30% of the culture everyday to ensure optimum density and water quality.

    It may be a typo but specific gravity of 1.17 is too high but 1.017 is fine :friends:

    Yah. It is a typo. Thanks for all the input. Will try again. Upz for all the help.

    Sand Bed Thickness Increase

    Bro, can just check with you? why not using life sand? i ask auntie fr RB, she said using life sand to add is better. now confused. haha..I want to add sand too. so before i add.. its better to ask around..=p

    I think it is due to life sand having bacterial and fish are not used to the sudden change. Not very sure. This one is personal experience. Kana twice with nothing else changed other than the life sand and the live sand i use are the "famous" onces so cannot be contaminate.

    You can try, but add slowly. Dun one shot add 1 packet :)

    Hi there....

    Anyone has tried further increase the sand bed after the tank has stabilized?

    Have to slowly add. Try not to use life sand. Had experence adding life sand all at 1 go. end up killing some life stock. Recently created a refugium using live sand for refugium. Even though I add slowly (subjective), End up killing 1 wrasse and cause another wrasse to have inflection.

    Think if there is really a need.

    Try LCK. They have plenty. 1 red and green note each.

    You're trying to contain an Aipstasia outbreak I'm guessing? If you are, getting Peppermint Shrimps is not a guaranteed solution as they may or may not feed on the Aipstasias in your tank. I bought a pair and they didn't do s-hit for me.

    Decided to use Joe's Juice in the end. Worked like a charm heheh 

    I'd recommend The Juice instead of Peppermint Shrimps. 1.2 red notes v 1.5 red notes (which may or may not give you returns on your investment), I'd go for the former.

    I second this provided the Aipstasia is within your reach.
