Just ordered 15 Pretty stoked!

I have been letting my tank cycle for a month, and while there is no algae present I was wondering if I am able to buy some Opae Ula now. Ammonia, nitrate, and nitrite are at zero, and I have added macroalgae from the store here. I did do one 50% water change in the middle because I thought I had so...

Generally speaking it is not necessary to feed if you have enough algae. If you do feed it only needs to be done every couple of months and very very sparingly. Those pellets look really big so you would only need a tiny amount. You could crush the pellet and sprinkle in just a small amount. Wait a...

Hello, wanted to buy some food when I eventually get some Opae Ula. Would this be suitable for them?

I bought the Dennerle 2.5 L Nanocube tank which is nice. My only complaint about it is that the glass lid that is held at the top is kinda small which allows for dust to fall in overtime .. I have a Dennerle shrimp cube too, I think you meant 10 L which is roughly 2.5 gal. Nice tank. The lid is str...

My tank has had sea fan in it from the beginning over a year ago now. It has not deteriorated at all and has posed no problems. If it is properly dried and sterilized, it's perfectly safe. I wouldn't go picking some up off a beach and using it but if it's been dried and treated and sold as aquarium...

If you used distilled water then there shouldn't have been any chlorine in the tank to begin with. So indeed the test strip could be faulty. But yes, chlorine does dissipate from water over time. Chloramine, however, acts rather differently. So you may still want to treat the water with something l...

Okay! Do you think the chlorine level will drop at some point? Not sure if it will evaporate from the water or if it will sit there for a long time :\

Also if I were to buy a liquid test kit should I buy the freshwater one? Or does the reed or saltwater one work better for this kind of brackish water tank? https://www.amazon.com/API-FRESHWATER-800-Test-Freshwater-Aquarium/dp/B000255NCI/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=API+Liquid+test+kit&qid=1...

.. Did you add marine salt to the distilled water to create a brackish water environment? Half seawater strength is what is needed. Also, I suggest you remove the sea fan as they tend to break down and cause problems. .. Yes I have added marine salt so the level is around 1.010. I have seen some pe...

Hello there! This is my first time trying to care for Opae Ula and I have just started my tank which is about 2 to 2.5 gallons. Before I go into my specific question this is what my tank set up is like. I have small black lava rock as the main substrate, and small red lava rocks and calcium carbonat...
