01-10-2006 22:08 by stevo	finally after all my problems with nitrate my levels have been fine for the last few weeks, i added more live rock bout 7 kg and i got some fish of a guy tonight. got 1 lrge yellow tang, cleaner wrasse, dragon wrasse royal gramma 2 chromis and a pair of black perculas. the black perculas instantly paired with my original perculas in the tank. the tang started to come out his shell all seem fine so far.
02-10-2006 00:02 by stevo	the lights are off thou it looks as thou the tang has a lil shade of black underneath the surface, ne ideas of what it could be. i did acclimatise them fairly quickly as the water was stone cold.
02-10-2006 00:11 by nick	it is common for fish to change coulor when the lights are off
02-10-2006 00:21 by stevo	yeh i know that but i wasnt sureif it was a disease as iv heard of a similar thing b4, where a brown shade comes up or sumthing. maybe i am a bit too worried as they are new to the tank and iv had a few fish die b4.its aways better for sum1's opinion
02-10-2006 11:34 by Ste	Is it wise to introduce so many fish at the same time , when you have had nitrate problems . Surely the extra *** from the new fish will push your nitrate back up again. This is only an assumption and i expect to be told differently and that i dont know what i am talking about.
02-10-2006 13:30 by stevo	loll, nah u r right actually i was abit worried bout that so i went and brought a nitratereducer so i never have to worry...hopefully!
02-10-2006 17:40 by trik	your nitratereducter will take any where between 8 to 12 weeks to set up and produce 0 nitrate. unless you bought a second hand one still full of marine water and only turned of for max 12 hours . sorry to be bearer of bad news , and if you dont get the flow right it wont grow ANAEROBIC bacteria not to be cofussed with AEROBIC bacteria , ANAEROBIC is is then feed on nitrates , converting them to firstly to NITROUS OXIDE and finally to free NITROGEN GAS , to fast a flow converts nirate back to NITRITE and to slow deadly NYDROGEN SULPHIDE which smells like rotting eggs .HTH.
