Hi All,
I am new to the forum, but I have been keeping saltwater fish for about 7 years (kept a 180 FOWLR with moderate success). Two years ago I set-up a 26gal aquarium with the hopes to make it a reef tank eventually. Currently the tank is filtered by an Fx5 (only bio, chemi pure blue and filter floss (changed once a week)) and about 20lbs of live rock. I have good success with the tank so far, standard parameters all in order. Current inhabitants are two black ice clownfish (2 years old in the tank) and a blue reef chromis (1.5months in the tank). I added a Blackline Blenny about two weeks ago and for the first week he was hiding a lot and exhibited weird behavior (curling up) but overall seemed healthy and was taking food. The last two days I noticed that when he swims to the front he is gets blown around like a helicopter, I think he is on his way out but wanted to confirm. The only reason I am raising the question, is because he seems to swim okay when he is in the rock work.
Thanks in advance.
