I have 50 gallow bow front reef tank (I use reef loosely) up and running for 10 years. 20 pounds live sand / 50 pounds live rock / over abundance of mushrooms / flame angel / two clowns / goby / cleaner shrimp / clean up crew / HOB skimmer / power compacts / HOB filter / strong circulation. My nitrates are high - always are around 30ppm. My Anthias 5 days old is not eating? I introduced a flame angel and Anthias Last Sunday... I think she ate in the beginning of the week.. and now no eating? I feed frozen preparations... many different varieties? Formula one / Spriralina brine shrimp / mysis shrimp / squid. I feed once a day. Do you actually feed your fish more then once a day? Many of the fish I have say feed at least 3x a day but I have NEVER fed more then once a day as to not dirty my tank?
SUGGESTIONS?
When I introduced her I kept the lights off for two days.. then I was worried my rock / mushrooms would have a negative effect w/ no light. Flame Angel is doing great but Anthias is not even going after food? AND TODAY I can't find her? She must be hiding in the rock? Quick ideas and foods she will eat? I will run to LFS and do whatever to keep her happy.
I was going to do a water change today... will this help or hurt?
And next week I have a blue hippo and a scotts fairy wrasse on order to complete my tank.
thank you!!
