check him for parasites.. or any shrimp/fish that could be pestering him. Have you checked him after the lights go out??

dragon wrasse and niger trigger... possibly risking it there with the ray.

I would change the lights... could do way more with the same wattage.. swap out to an 8 bulb (or better) T5HO fixture with individual reflectors. An anenome may or may not thrive under your current lighting.. it's a tall tank and the current lighting may not provide enough PAR where the anenome...

good deal on that pH... I like keeping my calcium pretty high, but results may vary.. mine is typically 480. I think you'll be fine... just make the LPS tough it out.. lol.. they're way more adaptable than sps.

Originally Posted by T316 Good analogy...but I see it more like trying to run 87 octane...in a DIESEL engine... well that would take out the motor right away... the detonation from the 87 will slowly (or quickly lol) knock/ping the motor to death.

achilles...or powder blue.. your call.

I used the chemiclean before, but you gotta make sure that the top is off the tank and there's plenty of aeration for it.. can't overdose it either.. there is a prescribed amount on the box. if you dumped the whole thing in without measuring it.. eek....

sps really need the higher KH... the lps will get used to it if you give them time. I am keeping my 15gallon sps dominated tank at 14dKH=5meq/L (up from 12dKH) and my lps and rics on the bottom are ok with it.

brown zoas...
