They sound like Echinometra lacunter. Be careful with your hands around them. They can give you a bad infection if you get stabbed.

Often crustaceans become stressed after being moved. The natural response to stress is to molt. They usually hide for a few days during and after a molt.

I agree that using a mix of Sodium bicarbonate and Sodium carbonate is ideal. something close to a 5:1 ratio. But, it's not totally necessary as long as you don't try to raise ALK a lot all at once. There will be a natural carbonate/bicarbonate ratio that your tank will maintain. So when you...

Baking soda is fine. Add it to your topoff water so the rise is gradual.

I spent a little time reading the instructions for that test but still do not know if it only measures KH or overall Alkalinity. The reason I want to know is because Borate also contributes to Alkalinity levels. So, if the Alkalinity additive you are using contains a lot or Borate then it will...

Have your husband take everything back to the store and contact the better business bureau. Those fish are doomed unless you get them back to the store. This problem cannot be fixed.

I thought of a question. Does your test kit measure Carbonate hardness or total Alkalinity? The vast majority of kits test total Alk but there are a few that only test the Carbonate portion so can you look that up just in case.

For what it's worth, there's no real reason to test Nitrite levels. And DOC is Dissolved Organic Compounds. They produce acid as they decompose. Hydrochloric acid...

Vexing to be sure. That is outstanding that you are keeping a log. I cannot express how much that helps narrow down the list of problems. I can see that precipitation is not a problem. Let me think on this a while. I think I have enough clues, I just need to put it all together.

You can also drink the RO water instead of bottled water and it makes the best coffee. I've tested a few of the local stores here and their version of purified water does not match what I think it should be. But to be honest, I don't think your source water has any impact on your problem...

Yeah. What would really help is a chart of Calcium and ALK levels tested once a day at the same time of day for a week and any dosing listed on the chart.

Are you using tap water? You source water should have a dKH of 0.00.

Just so I understand - You Alkalinity drops from 7-8dKH down to 6dKH with no associated drop in Calcium. Is that right?

I used a recurve until 2009. I had a shoulder injury and could no longer hold it for more than a few seconds.

I bow hunt. Don't know much about modern broadheads though.

Fixed it for you...

The place I work for does the same thing.

The law, last time I looked at it, was restricted to foreign workers that have specialized skills not available to employers in the US. The fact that they require training means they do not have the required specialized skills and Disney is violating the law and the intention of the law. Yet...

Resembles a baby Thorny Oyster.

The law is already pretty good regarding H-1B Work Visas. The issue there is enforcement. Corporate violations are being completely ignored.
