Who Gives A Fish Forums

I had the same problem last year. My chaeto was outcompeting my corals for nutrients. I started dosing a tiny bit of neonitro and neophos to keep levels stable. It's a balancing act, but my corals perked up after a few weeks. Tank's a 75-gallon with a 20-gallon sump, running a Radion XR15.

Yeah, overfeeding's a killer. I learned that the hard way. Lost a whole batch once because I got too excited and dumped in too much food. Tank went cloudy overnight, and boom, fry were gone.

Yep, what they said. Also, watch out for any bigger fish in the tank. Even small tetras might pick at the fry. If you can, move 'em to a separate grow-out tank. It's way easier to control the environment and keep 'em safe.
