CJ, I see in post number 12 you said the temp is 73... is that correct? If so it needs to be moved up to around 78... thats a huge stress on fish as well As far as your last post about the quarantine, get your temp right and salinity right then do what they call ghost feeding... add just a...

I cant remember where to set the meter but you can check for voltage with a basic voltmeter

The only ammonia test i have heard that wont give false reading no matter what water treatment you use is the one made by Seachem... I use Prime as my water treatment and was told it can lead to false readings as well. As far as your ammonia spike, check the ph... From an earlier post it already...

it took me 3 coral beauties to get one to survive and i tried to flame angels twice.. the 2 coral beauties and the 2 flames all died in a week... The third coral was never sick, never a problem...i think its plain and simple, the quality of the fish

New to the "aggressive" side of the hobby. Just set up a 55. Tank now has a Niger Trigger and a Volitan Lion. Im just wondering what is typical behavior for a lion. Are they a typically "lazy" fish that stays in one spot or do they constantly move? The one i just put in my tank moved quite a bit...

i had a fire shrimp and cleaner shrimp in a 55. i added a coral banded (the one with long arms) and he was ok. shortly after i upgraded to a 120 and a few days later the coral banded was dead. i assume the cleaner killed him. they went at it a little in the 55.

vodka wasnt a choice so i cant vote
