If your Salinity was significantly low then yes, raising salinity would raise PH. In your case it's not really very low. What is the temperature? For PH, there are several things to check: 1 - Alkalinity - Try to maintain this is between 3.0meg/L and 4.0meq/L. The more consistent the...

It's fine. My assumption is your unit of measure is dKH.

My suggestion would be just let them get hungry. They'll eat. How long have you had them?

I've never found Clownfish to be picky. They are very territorial though and Percula are at the extreme end of territorial. Have you had them long enough to settle in? Once moved they can take over a week to get accustomed to the new environment.

Can you adjust your flow? That would be ideal. If not then if it were me I would take the risk and move them. The problem isn't the day to day flow. It's that every once in a while they will close up just prior to a significant growth spurt. If stuff settles on them while they are closed...

Sounds good so far. Are you monitoring Alkalinity?

Let us know. I'm very interested.

Siganus doliatus I called mine a Pencil-Streaked Rabbitfish. It has at least a dozen common names.

First test to see if it's OK. Chemi-Pure will not help with Alkalinity. If it's low Sodium Bicarbonate added to your topoff water will help. But only if it's actually low.

What's the Alkalinity?

I'd suggest either getting a little more flow to the sand bed area there or manually siphoning out the detritus once a week or so. For now I would simply siphon it off the sand surface.

Is that an area that accumulates detritus?

Initially once a week. Once everything is going nicely then every other week. Once the tank is mature it's once a month unless something looks off.

Speechless

Doesn't sound like normal behavior to me.

I think we've already mentioned that a Sailfin in a four foot tank is going to display unusual behavior including aggression.

So Fog Lights should do the trick.

I wasn't sarcastic. Really, I cannot tell how large this egg is from the picture as there is no scale. As I'm sure you know Skate eggs are large & flat. Unlikely to be confused with a Cat Shark egg but from a flat, single view picture that's what it seems to resemble to me.

+1

Not aggressive at all. They are completely focused on the food.
