Red Corris Wrasse... He IS the Devil...

Posted: January 31st, 2012, 8:58pm CST by Dlaria

The Red Corris Wrasse is a complete jerk and should not be in a reef tank. They flip crud over and disturb the dsb. I call mine El Diablo, because he IS the Devil... I hate that fish. He eats my clean up crew, no matter how much he gets fed. Flips rocks, corals, and even pries them off of their putty/mounts. Just noticed he's now gotten FANGS! He's impossible to catch. I get within view of the tank with a net, and he burries himself in the sand under the substraight. The jerk spits sand all over the corals. He'd be ok in a preditory fish only... I wouldn't even feel bad if he ended up as some other jerk's meal. It's a good thing I don't own spear fishing gear or a gun... I'd probably snap some time and shoot through the glass at him. Just sayin', I wouldn't ever recommend one of those fish. He's the bane of my existance.

What can high TDS cause?

Posted: January 31st, 2012, 7:11pm CST by CW

Hi PPL

Just would like to know what is the effect on a tank with RO water with i high TDS.

I tested my TDS on RO unit water today.
OOPS, TDS was 63.
Very high.

But everything seems fine in my tank.
I got 3new membranes today and replaced the old ones.
To my knowledge i have to replace them every 6monts and the top membranes once every 2years.
Ive got a 6stage RO system cos i use the water for drinking as well.

Any tips or input welcome.

CW out

:slayer:Hi all,

While visiting my boet in Boca Raton, Florida, i fell in love with his 300 Gallon aquarium, so i've decided to start one as well but not as big. I've just purchased a 260L tank. Still very clueless how and where to start but i've got a mate, who introduced me to this forum, guiding me all the way. I'll keep you updated on the progress and ill post some pics as soon as i get started.
