MH is very hard (IMO) to compare to other light sources. It produces a very intense light over a very small area. Other light sources are spread over a larger area. That intensity is what makes it a popular (and necessary) light source for high light organisms.

What was your fish load on the tank. Dory and Nemo are a tang and clownfish. I would wonder if your nitrates where high due to fish load. The tank may have crashed from that. Give a few more details about your set up. Filtration (skimmer)? Amount of LR, Sand bed, the more info the better.

I got lucky mating up a pair. However I added a clown that was two times bigger then my exsisting. If they are the same size you will need to remove one. They will fight to the death. Maroons are the hardest to pair.

Water changes, and time. The best way!! Double check your test kit. That is extremely high. calcium would precipate at that level.

Thanks Bang for the reply, I will feed her tonight and take your advice and just monitor the situation. That's the one thing about this hobby, you always want to react to a situation and it is not always the best thing to do. i wish I could take back all the times I did something before getting...

looked into the crevice he is hiding in. Still looks okay, but hasnt come out yet. Should I worry now or give it several more days to move into the light.

Wow.. Those are nice. Where did you order the frags from. scarybo@aol.com

Nope.. no changes. Still hanging out in the rocks (buried deep). Tenticles are still inflated. Looked at it in the rocks and still looks real healthy. Not bleached, good color. Hopefully it will go back thru the rocks to the proper home.

The maroons have been with the BTA since I got it. I can still see a few tentacles from behind the rocks and they look okay. I'll let you know if anything changes.

Patience.. patience..patience. Okay..I'll leave the bubble tip alone and keep receiting the above.!! Thanks for the fast reply and advice. I'll really appreciate it.

I need the advice of Anenome experts. I have had a bubble tip anenome for the past 10 months. It has been eating good and growing. About a week ago it starting acting strange. It stopped eating as much as usual. It still looked okay so I wasnt too concerned. Two nights ago it started moving...

It is also very slow to raise cal levels with kalk. I would use tubo calcium. USE CAUTION! It is very potent and can do more damage if not used carefully. Once your levels are where you want then use the b-ionic. Because I have a large number of sps, I also use kalk for replenishment.

I agree..b-ionic is better for maintain calcium. I use tubo-calcium to get my levels where i want then use b-ionic to maintain them.

Esv B-ionic for Alk/Calcium Esv Strontium Esv Iodine Esv Magnesium Kalk The directions on the bottles are (in my opinion) useless without testing. You need to test before you start to find out where you are. You need to test almost daily when you start your initial doses to find out how your...

Thanks..Big Mac Cant wait until I can get a calcium reactor.
