    water and coral

    I use a hydrometer to test the salinity and it's about 8.2. I took a sample to a my lfs today. The guy who tested it owns the place and he sells nothing but saltwater stuff and knows everything about everything when it comes to marine aquariums. He said that he can't find anything wrong with...

    water and coral

    Ah Ha!! I just found this out a couple days ago. I've been using carbon 24/7 since the day I started my tank not realizing the damage that I was doing.

    I heard that running carbon for too long can drain the water of trace elements essential to coral growth. has anyone else heard this?

    water and coral

    well I plan on bying a filter really soon. I'm not even sure that it is copper or anything that is doing this to my corals. I just want to know if that is what could be causing my corals to fail? If it is, is there anything I can do to remove the copper from my water?

    water and coral

    I have 2 power heads for a 16 gal, a penguin (I don't know the name of it) filter with a bio wheel and a carbon filter, and a skimmer so the water is well filtered and moving.

    water and coral

    oh, and I have a leather, some green zoos, kenya tree, recordas, and green mushrooms. I'm afraid of doing water changes because I'm worried that the water is the problem. Do you think that it's ok to do water changes?

    water and coral

    There is a water softener and a filter (not ro/di just a regular filter) in my home. Wouldn't those take lead, copper and that kinda stuff out? I just can't figure out what I'm doing wrong with my corals and that's the only thing that I can think of.

    water and coral

    I asked this question on the tap water thread but no one answered it. I switched to tap water from distilled water because the tap water made my tank look nicer than the distilled water but I never took copper or lead into concideration. My inverts and fish are doing awesome but my coral looks...

    Tap Water?

    Ive got a question that goes along with this thread. I switched to tap water from distilled water because the tap water made it look nicer than the distilled water but I never took copper or lead into concideration. My inverts and fish are doing awesome but my coral looks terrible. Even some...

    starfish question

    I set up a 10 gal tank for my girlfriend and she really likes starfish. right now there isn't much in the tank because it's still very new and there is no coral and we don't think that we're going to put coral in it. What I want to know is if there are any starfish out there that can survive...

    Flower crab

    maybe a white anemone (porcelain) crab. If so they're reef safe filter feeders and really cool! If you get a pic someone can tell you for sure.

    boxing crab

    I had one in my tank when I was fairly new to the hobby and I loved it but unfortunatley it died after a few months . Like you all said, it rarely showed its face except at night. I would love to get another one but unfortunatley I haven't seen anyone selling one since then
