I woke up only to discover my one small percula is gone... No body, no trace... I guess the boxer shrimp got hungry ☹
I went to Sterlig Aquarium in Ontdekkers Road in Roodepoort and purchased:
• Purple Tang
• Yellow Tang
• Purple Firefish
The Purple Tang seem to have about 14 small white spots - seems pretty much like Ich! It immediately started feeding on the algae once added to the tank. When I added the Yellow Tang, they immediately attacked each other. So my Yellow Tang has some fin damage.
I called the LFS and they said I need to give the fish about an hour to sort themselves out. After a stressful hour they seem to be more tolerant of each other. Phew...
I tried to give the fish Sprung’s SeaVeggies - but none of the fish eats it...
When I added Brine Shrimp everyone in the tank went nuts and even P. hepatus came out for the first time. She started feeding for the first time since I added her.
With all these fish I added and the drip acclimation I lost a bit of water. Every time I just added RO water... Thus the salinity is now 1.025.
Since I have currently only been running on a single 54W T5 Actinic tube and a common white tube, I bought two additional Actinics and added that to the other ballast. It does not provide much additional lighting, but I guess it is better than not having enough light. I found that the Leather Coral started bending toward the front of the tank where the white light was. I need to get my 3 x T5 54W Aquablues VERY SOON.
