i've had my 10g FO tank w/ 2 ocellaris clowns for 8 months now. about 2 weeks ago my male started to eat less food. I give them a mixture of marine flakes and brine shrimp. now he doesn't even touch the flakes and only eats 1 or 2 brine shrimp and spits out the rest. The female is perfectly fine and eats everything. my water quality has always been good from the start. Ph: 8.3 Ammonia: 0ppm Nitrite: 0ppm Nitrate: >15ppm (has never gone over 20ppm) sg: 1.023 is there anything i can do to get my male to eat? hes getting skinnier
another question i have is about filtration. i currently have 1, 150gph whisper filter w/ an aquaclear sponge for mechanical filtration, 1 100gph cascade filter w/ carbon and a smaller sponge for chemical filtration, and a 120ish gph power head for extra circulation. so a total of 320gph & 32x turn over rate. the noise on the filters is driving me nuts so i was thinking about getting rid of the old filters & pump and getting a penguin 350 since i can get 1 for $26. would that be a good or bad idea?
