Don't want to be a downer or nuthin', but if you have 2 Maroons in the same tank with that other Clown, more than likely the Maroons will soon dominate and the beat the little Clown to death. Maroons and Clarkii's do not play well with other Clowns. Especially in a 55. That may be what happened to the others mate.

 

Good Luck

the mate died before i added the maroons, they dont bother one another at all. i was surprized.

The cabbage coral its doing great.no mucas at all. the only issues its my polyps.

I just did a water change also swapped my carbon add it was dirty. My leather seems to be opening even before I did that'the .

ive killed all 3 kenya,xenia,gsp not shure what i did. some lived some melted away..

must have gotten lemons

i had a 250 mh before that, but at that time i didnt have any of these corals. i just had old t5 bulbs.

my light is 36" long not a 4 footer.

as for dipping, are you talking like cookies and milk type of thing? lol like take them out and dip them? or is this something you can do inside the tank. and is this something i should start doing all the time?

and either of these should work? revive or coral rx

they are all glued down but if this will help ill break them all off.

these are the bulbs i bought

3x ATI Coral Plus 36 Inch 39 Watt T5HO Fluorescent Bulb

3x ATI 36 Inch 39W True Actinic 03 T5HO Fluorescent Bulb

oh i also run two littlefishes phosban recators with carbon, that i keep up on about 4 cups of carbon total. keep my filter socks clean

are any of the polyps need more or less light? i will buy a couple sun light bulbs whe i get some cash anyone have any links to some decentones?

sorry for being all jumbled on the typing trying to feed baby and type lol

does anything require special lights? i have a tek 6 light t5ho. i bought all new bulbs 3 actinic 3 coral light? they are like purple.

i dont have any sunlight bulbs mabye thats a issue?

i just add my water to the water they come in for about 20 min ro so. and add them to the tank, i never dipped or anything. is that a must do type of thing. im still new to corals so im learning, just weird how my other softires are ok. my leather doesnt sem to want to open fully either

Hi everyone.

i have and been having a issue with my polyps. i have around 6-7 diffrent ones. they are never open.

i have a really nice size bunch that were really cool deep green and now are pretty much brown/white

all my polyps are closed and have been. everything else is fine in my tank. all my corals ect. i do my water changes, everything is good water wise.

any input? maby some sore of dosing these need?

thanks

im interested in a two bags. how much to ship to 97355? lebanon or

i had super bad gha i pulled most of it off by hand comes off kinda easy. but i ended up taking each rock out and cleaning them the biggest thing was my lights were old and i had them on to long. i got a couple timers new bulbs i have ZERO green hair algae i havent had a issue with it sence. i do a 20" change about every 2 weeks or so. i use tap water

i have a 3ft 6 bulb tek, new lights. i only run 2 lights but my light is about 6-8 inches from the water level. so a bit close. ive noticed instead of stuff growing tall. seems to hug the rocks and stay low. depends on what you have ofcourse. i can tell a huge diffrence in my corals being alot happier with only 2 lights on instead of 6.

i dont know how slow you should lower them, but when i do run all my lights none of my stuff get hurt/cooked.

i dont think there is allot to worry about being t5's? i switched from halide huuuge diffrence. i killed stuff with my halide being to close!

Is the little guy dead or sleeping. Your discription could be read either way (scratch)

 

I have heard of them going to a courner of the tank to sleep or upside down under a rock but have yet to see one on the sand bed. But I am by no means an expert so hopefully some more experienced clown folks will chime in.

 

I hope the clown is alright, such cool fish.

 

Edit I didn't notice the words next to the picture. Sleeping fish

haha, no she is sleeping very alive!.

she will stay like that all night. till the light come on. almost like she needs a tiny blanket lol. she had a mate she slept right next to her on his side also. he died not shure why about 1 month ago. i have yet been able to fine a clown large enough to stay alive in my tank but small enough to be able to become a male and not be a female, if that makes sence.

my maroon clowns are completly diffrent, theyjust hide in the rocks at night. just thought it was odd a fish would do this.

video below

kinda sad :(

Dial it down with a valve

i run a rio 3100 or 3200 not shure but like he said there is a dial you can tone down the flow if not add a inline valve

thats a awsome price for the chiller i just bought one. wish i would have waited!! so nice the temp stays at a steady 80
