New Reef Tank.Help ?

[zaitmi]

Yes it is typo mistake. Mine is 30 gallon only.

But the Small Sailfin Tang started getting micro white spots and died today morning. Last night after coming from my office when i spotted white spots and he was gasping near the sand falling from this side and that side, i immediately removed him to my fish bowl with the some tank water and tested for nitrates in the tank, it was 10 ppm. Fine..but ??.

I knew he won't survive.

May be Sailfin Tang got stressed a lot due to the damsel annoyance and transportation. Poor Soul i feel so sad about it. God Bless his/her soul.

Pakistani Butterfly is doing well. But what about his food(always searching for algaes)? Can i give Live worms(Deep Brown Colour) which is fed to the freshwater fishes? Brine shrimp is not available here in Kolkata, india. I am still searching for hatching eggs?

How long it will take my algaes to grow ? Can anybody answer this one?
Its been more than 2 weeks of the diatom bloom ? 12 hrs. light daily provided. Aqua Coral & T5.

Pasfur/Arkamaic r u guys concerned?

turn the lights off. you don't need them. your cycle is not done that is why your fish are having problems. it is still too soon.

[zaitmi]

Butterfly im guessing is too large for that tank as well. Wait until the diatoms are completely gone to add more fish.. Dont turn lights on. The reason the sailfin died (the white spots) is because of a disease tangs will get when they are stressed and other things commonly called ick, probably because sailfins need atleast like an 120 gallon tank to survive.

Well I have finally purchased more 18 lbs of cured+MATURED Rocks with some green purple algae and very few tube worms from my LFS. He bought it from one of his customers who wanted to sell the rocks. Well they look beautiful. Wait till i upload the pics.
Total 35lbs Live Rocks in my tank now.
Made lots of aquascapes. (Picture will be updated soon).
Protien Skimmer xptd soon.

should i give garlic which we eat in food. White ones, 1 inch long. Or fishes eat some special garlics mixed in their food. Plz reply fast for this one.

Butterfly is doing well always searching for algae or may be worms.

Your not paying any attention to what everyone is telling you.
finish the cycle and quit buying fish until then, plus everything your buying needs a MUCH larger tank...
Good luck

[zaitmi]

is the whole world dead ?

Thanks for Not Commenting on my Tank.

From day before yesterday both fishes are going in front of the Powerhead most of the times. R they enjoying the flow of air.
or is it Ph problem.

May be Ph is higher in front of the powerhead ? Mine is 7.8

saltwaterabout.com : The generally accepted pH level in a basic saltwater system is between 7.6 and 8.4, but reef tanks are a more sensitive, and therefore need to be kept at the higher end of the pH scale, 8.0 to 8.4.

Mine is a FOWLR.

[Loverotties]

Are you testing your pH at the same time of day?It is different all the time though the day and night.

[zaitmi]

yes.
