I'd say 1 jester goby and mayb a watchman goby possibly some pajama cardinals and mayb a speckled buterfly or a raffles buterfly I'd Say a hypo tang or tomani tang but they will need to be rehomed after about 6 months to a year they get too big for a fork

40 gallon * they get to big but keeping a baby one is really fun I have a hypo tang in my 40 breeder but am working on getting the equipment and supplies to move and change my 80 gallon into a tang gang tank gona put a sump on it too I would love a 120 with a biig sump but that mayb a dream for the future

Starry Blennies are fantastic, it's rough struggling with low nutrient tanks. I'm not going to tell you to change anything with your routine since it's working, but if you can replace the main+trace elements without waterchanges you'll have an easier time keeping nutrients up by postponing them to a month or every-other.

@SalamanderFangskin Жыл бұрын

In my opinion, if you want a lot of fish that is cheap, beautiful, and environmentally friendly, use mollies. Many people have told me that Poecilia latipinna [Sailfin Molly] and Poecilia velifera [Giant Sailfin Molly] tend to do best in salt water. And besides they are great algae eaters. 👍

@zafishguy5166 Жыл бұрын

I'll second this. Especially the sailfin mollies. You might have some trouble acclimating standard store bought mollies though

@charlottefalconer8602 Жыл бұрын

I agree too! I’ve got P velifera and they are the best clean up crew I’ve ever purchased and no risk of brining in marine white spot if they are acclimated from fresh to salt over a period of days.

Before getting my betta and setting up a 10 gallon, I was debating on a freshwater or saltwater now I want a saltwater tank, it just the beauty of the corals and fish that grabs my attention so my next tank setup will probably be a 55 gallon saltwater or a clownfish only 30 gallon tank.

Hey bud I’m currently going through a Cyano outbreak. My tank is 7 months old and it’s a 38 gallon bowed front tank. It’s all over the rock and some areas on the sand. I have been doing 25% water changes every 6-7 days and it’s not slowing down. I moved my powerheads and the are placed 8” down from the top roughly right in the centre on each side pointing at each other for the most part. I was told to use Chemiclean. Would you do that, or do you have a better method. Your tanks look great.

@dazsboxofwater Жыл бұрын

I’d creat as much flow as possible & dose bacteria first before chemical to treat cyano, might take a few weeks thou. Check your parameters too, too low can create cyano & dynos too, good luck.

@Scott-cy6zv Жыл бұрын

@@dazsboxofwater I have zero nitrates and nitrites and ammonia and salinity is 1.023. PH is 7.8. May I ask what bacteria to dose with as no one has mentioned this method to me. I really appreciate your knowledge and time to help me. And if I put a third 528gph powerhead down about 6” above sand that would help? Thank you SO much!

@dazsboxofwater Жыл бұрын

@@Scott-cy6zv just be careful you aren’t blowing your sand everywhere or covering corals ect , plenty of bacteria products - brightwell, special blend, dr Tim’s ect , I think I saw it on a brs video a while ago now, I always dose bacteria now , once every two week or a month, sometimes even a small amount after a water change especially if a larger water change too, maybe feed the fish a bit more to get nitrates & phos up , good luck & hope this helps.

What nitrates and phosphate do you aim for? Have liked your videos last couple years.

@DannysAquariums Жыл бұрын

I don’t really aim for any specific levels, neither do I test very often. But when I do, they’re always at zero and I can confirm that by how the corals are doing/looking.
