Who Gives A Fish Forums

Thanks, everyone. I'll test with another kit and add an airstone. Filtration is a Fluval FX6, flow's strong but not turbulent. Feeding once daily with frozen bloodworms and pellets.


FX6 should be plenty. Maybe cut back on bloodworms for a bit—they're fatty. Try soaked pellets with garlic guard ...

Surface hanging could mean low oxygen or gill irritation. What's your filtration setup? Also, check for any recent additions like new plants or decor. Sometimes contaminants hitchhike in.

Feeding's key too. I spot feed my Zoas reef roids once a week. They puff up like balloons. But yeah, flow's the main thing here. Less is more.

I've got a 75 gallon tank with mostly soft corals like Zoanthids and Mushrooms. The flow seems off, they're not opening fully. Running two MP40s at 30%. Should I crank it up or add a wave maker?


Two MP40s at 30% might be too much for Mushrooms. They like it chill. Try pulsing one pump at 15 ...
