Mark, is the Picasso safe with corals and shrimp? I have a peppermint and just picked up a pistol.

 

[FishBeard]

Whats the size and price on the flameback angel?

 

[markitekt]

Flameback is super awesome and I'm like 51/49 on selling it. He's a little shy of 2". Got him as a 1" baby. $60

Here he is.

Dang, if you are that close on the fence, keep it, especially if its a reef safe specimen.

I seriously wouldn't try it. Your hands will bleed from this sucker. I doubt inverts would survive.

 

[Funlad3]

Cool, thanks for the honesty!

 

[markitekt]

Honesty is good, brutal honesty is even better. LOL

 

[Tethered_Limbs]

good choice on the midas blenny. one of my favorite fish.

Staring again is always exciting. Good luck.

Question:

Got some slight haze in the water since the new setup. Been there for about 5 days and not going away. I'm skimming and running carbon. Any ideas?

 

[Herbie]

i had a haze when I moved a tank into my frag set-up. I think it was a phyto outbreak or something bacterial. I ran 2 HOB filters with floss and that seemed to help, but it took like 10 days to go away completely.

 

[prestige-led]

That's pretty normal,mine took almost 2weeks to subside. Massive bacterial bloom.

 

[Smitty]

Yeah, it's a bacteria bloom...normal filtration, water changes, and time will get rid of it.

 

[madjoe]

same here set up my brothers new 120 with new sand and was hazy for about two weeks . give it time thats all

 

[markitekt]

Funny, I just borrowed someone my UV to take care of a bacterial bloom, and now looks like I could use it.

i have a 18w one u can borrow if u need but it will also go away on its own

 

[markitekt]

The haze is actually subsiding on it's own. I'll do a 20% WC today and kill it for good.
