Progession of a 46 gallon reef tank

thanks they are very active

 

here is another pic of my fish. Pic is slightly blurry and the glass is a little dirty but you can really see the size difference. I've named them Panda and Gypsey. Once in a while Gypsey will pick at Panda but then all is good.

 

I'm not going to add nems but I'll eventually add other corals that they can possibly host on.

So I redid my aquascape again. I didn't like how I had it, I feel that I have to much rock to work with so I'm taking half to the lfs. I still have a lot of rock so that's good. I don't have the rock how I want it. But the water is really murky right now and the fish are stressing a bit so I'm going to leave it how it is for a few weeks. I also have a towel over the front of the tank to help relieve some stress

 

thank you. You guys will be loving the fsh that i will be getting next. Look up Red Velvet Fairy Wrasse

 

here's an update:

The female hasn't been active lately so i was checking her out to see what could be wrong. I'm able to see that she is very skinny, and that could be why she hasn't been active, because no energy to swim. So i will drastically up their feeding to two times a day

 

thanks

 

she's been doing ok, still skinny. I've been feeding them two times a day. She's a slow eater and the male is fast, so i don't know if that's why she's skinny because he gets most of the food. She does get some though. Once in a while she will be swimming downwards in one spot, but then a little while later she's swimming fine, i think she doesn't have enough energy to actively swim like she did on her first two days. I think she will pull through, i guess] like everything in sw it just takes time

 

yea I've been watching her like a hawk. She only does that once in a while then she swims normal again and becomes more active

 

i sure hope not, i can't afford any diseases in my tank. Even though i watch them eat i am reasured that she is digesting it ok and stuff because she's pooped a few times, which was white and long, i was used to seeing pellet like poop like what the puffer does. I at first freaked and thought it was a parasite, then it came off later, and the exact same thing was back like two days later, i'm assuming it's like that because of the food i give them. I have yet to see the male poop but he looks good.

 

One of the foods that I give them is white so that could be why. But stress could also be a factor like you mentioned

 

nitrite and ammonia are finally at 0
