All my levels seem to be fine ph 8.1 ammonia 0, nitrite 0, nitrate 20, temp 79, sal 1.023. I have plenty of water movement and I do a 20% change of r/o water every 2 weeks. Should I worry about my 2 clowns and the anemone? what else should I check for?? :needhelp:

I don't have a choice now he has gone to the slugs and I have no type of fuge for him to go in so the question is would it be worse to take him out of water and let him die or let the snail have their way? This is my first saltwater fish to die I might have to shed a tear

I can see red at the bottom and on the nose of my yellow tang. It looks like the blood in his veins, very dark red. He was fine last night, but he won't move out of this one spot and will not eat the frozen brine shimp I have fed him for months. I also just noticed todays that there was...

I have a 29gal FOWLR and I have a pink tip anemone. I would also like to start working with some begginer corals and mushrooms. Would this light I found on the aution site be suitable for my needs? does anyone use this light? and suggestion I don't have much $$? My 29gal tank is 30" wide so...

I have had 10# LR cureing the a tub or 6gals salt water and It has been there for two weeks now. I have seen the ammonia go through the roof and back do and now the nitrite are off the charts but no sings of nitrates. How much long do you think it should take. Just want to double check, but I...

I have been doing a 20% water change or more to my tank every week 29gal with 6gal water changes. when you take into affect the 25#LR and 40#LS it is much more than 20%. I quess I should stop that OPPS :notsure:

I know my test are fine because I test my display tank and it was 0. the only thing I can think is that I have a tub with live rock cureing and maybe I transfer some water on my hand while I was checking the temp. Would that little of water make a difference?

I get r/o water from the local car wash $1 for 5gal

I made up 20gal of R/O saltwater to use for my water changes. It has a pump to keep the water moving and it has stayed around 78 degrees. It was mixed about a week ago and when I tested the water today it had 0.50 Nitrite and everything else was good. Should I use this water to do a change or...

will my rock be ok? or should I worry?

I have 10# LR that I just had shipped to me sitting in a rubbermaid with a over the top filter (no carbon) running just to keep water moving. It is sitting in the shed and I won't have a heater for 2 more days. The temp changes from 60 to 70 during the day and I was wondering if I might "kill"...

anybody has suggestions on whether I should do a water change to the rock that is curing or not?????

How often should I do a water change to the rock that is just being re cured from the die off of long shipping? Also How much water should I keep this cureing rock in? 10# is the more water better or is less water best? It has been cureing for 5 days and the ammonia is through the roof at 8...

I use coralife and I have not really tried any other so I don't have anything to compare it to. So far it works well for me :yes:

I had to just drop my nassarius right in and had no problem. Most of them started moving right away. I decided to keep all of them which turned out to be 60. I also picked up 2 mexican turbo's from the LFS, which are acclimateing right now. I hope they will clean my glass because the...

Well I recieved my snails today and just put them in the tank. I got 60 of the little guys and look really good. I can't really tell if any of them are dead, how do you know that one is dead? Should I leave the dead snails in the tank?

I almost have that same problem but I was just cheap and went with the ground shipping. Ordered last tuesday and just recieved today. The rock has lot of color and I found a lot of nasty goo that looks like maybe a starfish or something that died. I wonder if I would have went with the...
