    Instant Ocean to Oceanic salt ok?

    I made the switch from IO directly to Oceanic and didn;t experience any problems. I was doing 15g water changes on a 75g tank.

    Which salt?

    +1 for Oceanic - I've been using it for 8 months and have been pleased with the results.

    Blue Reef Chromis question

    I've lost a number of these over time as well. I had a school of five to begin with - I lost two of them rather quickly and the other three were doing fine for several months. I'm now down to two and it has been that way for a while.. Not sure what it is with those fish..

    An easier way for a H20 change?

    I siphon the water out with 1" hose because it gets the water out in a hurry - then I use a Mag 5 to pump waste water out of the bucket and into the sink - take pre-mixed SW and pump it back into the tank. Fairly easy operation.. Only a few drips here and there. After you do it enough you'll...

    Finicky eating Banggai Cardinal??

    I got mine to start eating with Brine soaked in garlic. Do you know if it is wild caught or not? Tank raised specimens are much hardier and less finicky when it comes to eating.
