Frequently Asked Questions
What is the recommended maintenance routine for a healthy reef tank?
A good maintenance routine for a reef tank includes performing a water change of about 15% (~2 gallons) every week. Regularly clean algae on the glass whenever it appears, and top off with RO water as needed.
How often should I test my tank's pH and salinity?
It's recommended to test pH and salinity occasionally, ideally before performing a water change, to ensure optimal conditions for your corals and fish.
What should I do if I notice algae growth in my tank?
When you see algae growth on the glass or decorations, clean it off as soon as possible to maintain the tank's aesthetics and water quality.
How can I promote the growth of my corals?
To promote coral growth, ensure they are positioned in a suitable location within the tank that mimics their natural environment. Monitor their health and growth closely and be patient, as corals need time to adjust before thriving.
What actions should I take if a coral appears unhealthy?
If a coral appears unhealthy, check water parameters and the placement of the coral. You may need to move it to a location with better lighting or flow conditions. Additionally, inspect for pests that may harm the coral.
How should I introduce new fish to my reef tank?
When introducing new fish, it is best to quarantine them in a separate tank for a few weeks to ensure they are healthy before adding them to your main tank. Introduce them during low light hours to reduce stress, and provide plenty of hiding spots to help them acclimatize.
What is the compatibility between different species of fish?
Before adding new fish, research their compatibility with existing tank inhabitants. Some species, like Ocellaris Clownfish and Firefish, tend to do well in small community tanks, but it is crucial to consider the temperament and living requirements of each species.
