Fish For Simple Setup

[TORX]

The 50w ones are tiny. They fit in the back chamber of my 3 gallon picos. So small

The ht30 is only 6.25" Prob can't get much smaller than that!

Just when i think I've got this tank setup, i've run into another issue. I'm using a fluval cp4 powerhead. Finally found a spot which provides great flow and is fairly inconspicuous. Problem is it only has suction cups for mounting (no magnet), which means it's falling off every few days. Other than using silicone, how can i semi-permanently mount it?

I hate powerheads with suction cups, I used them in the beginning and they would be fine for a few days/weeks and then when all seemed ok I would come home to a milky white tank with all the sand on one side lol.

Haha yeah one corner had a 6" mound of sand! Guess I'll have to switch back to the bulkier sicce.

I also use the sicce pumps now, they are really big but at least they are reliable I guess.

So good news and bad news... Good news is I got these two big guys today. Each about the size of my pinky finger

Bad news is the smaller of the two black clowns died. Seemed perfectly fine when i fed them this morning. Went in to drip shrimp at about 3pm today and he was dead in the sand

I think you need to step back and stop adding things to your tanks.

It only had 3 fish in it (clown pair and springerii) Don't think it is a case of adding too much too fast.

It just seems you have terrible luck with fish.

Are you still using tap water? How often are you doing water changes?

Still using tap. Started doing 30% water changes beginning of oct. Only started that thinking it would be nothing but beneficial. Starting to think that's not always so.

Have to tested your tap water? When was last water changed done? Do you add anything to tap water?

Haven't tested tap water. Changed water last weekend. Meant to mention water changes are every two weeks. Always add prime when topping up/changing water. Cichlid tank doing amazing (i know, apples and oranges).

I do think you should test your water. Seems there may be an issue there. Any photos of tank currently?

Here's a pic. Got gha. That seems to be my arch nemesis in every salt tank I've had.
