Fish Fanatic
Hi everyone! I saw something strange in my saltwater tank today. The lights have been off for about 2 days now. They are off because of an algae problem. These creatures look like tiny shrimp with a stripe going down their bodies. These things are small. Not that small for a copepod or the like though. About 3 mm.
Here are tank details:
55 gallons
Canister filter
Heater (not sure wattage)
Temperature is 78
50 pounds of rock
60 pounds of live sand
Ammonia: 0
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate: 20
Stocking:
Mandarin fish- have lots of copepods/cultured and bred in the tank/extra dose every other month. He also eats frozen foods.
Linear blenny
Orange skunk clown
Hector goby
Sun coral
Hammer coral
X2 urchins
This tank has been set up for a little over a year.
Any advice appreciated!
Will get pics tomorrow!
