Hi,
I've started with 10 babdensis babys I hached in a Breeder hanging in my 26g nanoreef, waterparameters are all as good as SPS need it to grow fast. Nutritions not mesureable with my easy testkits.
For filtration i've 15kg of liverock. Nothing else, just a aqua medic miniflotor skimmer if its needed.
Light is a 60W LED DIY fixure.
So now to the problem:
last saturday the first cuttle was died, today the second. three of the remaining 8 looks also bad, they are realy dark purple and have bright white eyes. I'd not see them eating for about 2-3 days. One of them tried but after catch a shrimp he let it go imidiatly.
The diet contains of
-Mysis
-freshwater Shrimp (of my own "farming")
-Saltwater Shrimp
They just eat realy big shrimps a week ago, two times their own lenght but now they doesn't eat somthing of the half lenght of them.
I've startet dosing "purple up" and since them they stop eating and become shy and inefficent hunters.
Have you any idea what is the problem with my cuttles and what could I do to make the cuttles feel better?
I've taken some Steps now:
-install the skimmer
-having carbon in a filter, may there is an infection
-stop dosing "purple up"
please excuse my miserable english, hope you understand all I want to say.
