Whats wrong with the grunge?

Bought a complete setup with one of those.Had live stock in a rubbermaid tub and before I could take it to the LFS my wife put it in a 265g because it was cute.
After losing several cleaner shrimp/blood shrimp and most of the cleanup crew we finally removed all the live rock and still had trouble catching it.

It caused a major spike of NH3 in my tank and killed some of my inverts. I was lucky to get it out of my refugium before it killed my entire tank. The grunge was basically black nasty sand saturated with hydrogen sulfide. It smelled 10x worse than my skimmer cup. There is no doubt it caused my NH3 to spike after my entire tank had already been cycled. Maybe you did not witness this in your rock tub. I will never use the stuff again and strongly suggest people not to put the stuff in your tank.

Six line wrasse killed everything new I would put in my tank. it could be 5 times bigger than him he was going after it. Damsels your curse I love them , have 35 of them in my 1200 gal reef they add a lot of color. mine only bother each other. Do beware though some kinds will wreck havoc I have the plain blue yellow tails and three stripe, jewel damsel. I think tank size helps.

I placed my Green Star Polyps on the overflow to grow over that ugly looking black thing. It's been close to 4 months and it looks great! Once it starts getting closer to rocks/glass work I'll end up cutting it off with a razor blade.

Mushrooms are starting to take over my tank. I have purples and greens. The greens are much slower multipliers but the purples are like gremlins in water

tangtang clown · 03/09/2010, 12:05 PM

I added 3 damsels 1 black and 2 blue. Paid $15 for all and I had to take everything out of my 75 to catch them. What a pain.

I also regret adding any mushrooms and green star polyps. I am still trying to get rid of them all.

Mine would be my murdering Lunar Wrasse. He killed everyone in my tank.

On the Xenia and Green Star Polyp note. I love mine, have the Xenia isolated as well as the GSP. But im only 3 years in, a newb with lots to learn.

tangtang clown · 03/09/2010, 03:42 PM

I am only 3 years in also. I wish I would have I isolated my GSP, but know I have some on about half of my rocks. As for the shroom, there is no real way to isolate them b/c they will move around the tank.

I almost forgot about the orange spot rabbit fish someone gave me that developed a taste for zoas about 2 weeks after its arrival and ate every zoa in the tank except some ugly greenish brown colored ones.
