Good day all! Been reading forums and had just bought a ruby dragonet. He was eating frozen at the store but seems to not eat frozen in my tank. My current tank is 90 gallon aqueon reef ready(the one with the overflow) with plenty of live rock. Sump is a 40 gallon modified aquarium which uses about 30 gallons. I have a single filter sock, Bio balls(the plastic ones), 4 large bags of seachem matrix, a reactor with denitrate, and at end the water runs through a UV light before returning to the display tank. The tank has been running for 6 months but i used live rock from my previous tank which was running for 1 year and i also reused 50% of the water. I noticed the dragonet will not eat the frozen but picks off the ground. Im unsure if hes eating detritus or copepods. I just doubt theres copepods due to my UV light or at least if there is any that its just a few of em and he will eat them out. Does anyone think its possible for them to reproduce in my aquarium? I dont want the ruby dragonet to die. I live in the cayman islands( small island in the caribbean) so i get about 40 gallons from the ocean. I mix it with enough RODI untill its 1.025 and put it in my filter sock in the sump. Any parasites and diseases should die before going into the main display. Any advice?
