Hmm, is the tank temp overly warm. You don't have a tight fitting lid rt?

What do u have in the tank for aeration?? Filter, powerhead, bubbler, ect

Thank you imforbis!!!. That pretty much sums it up lol. Kessils are great lights, but expensive. I didn't see in your original post if you wanted a reef tank or simple fowlr(fish only with live rock) system. I like current orbit led lights, I don't do a reef tank tho.

He still doesn't want live ghosts?? Thats weird, lions can go on hunger strike. However live food usually is irresistible

Led lighting is the way to go. There becoming very popular. I just got a set for my new tank. water supply. Ro water is the best. So if your looking to have it hooked up already, I would hook up an r o system w it.

If it died the c chip would eat it.

Ah ok not bad. Yea escape artists is a down side

What do/did you keep w yours? Fish wise?

I agree w the anti crushed coral, and no tangs. Change while u still can lol

In nature its a much more diverse environment. Inverts, coral, ect so the higher but steady salinity is definitely needed. As for fish only or even fowlr systems, I wouldn't think bacteria would be effected. However the other critters, pods, bristle worms, ect could be negatively effected...

Anybody have experience with these critters?

Secondary question. Would all fish not kept in a reef tank benefit from lower salt levels? Say the 1.017 range?

Ha ha ha, tangle ur feet in the gulf.

Lol good luck. Its a big tank so its prob in there somewhere. I was just looking at a zebra myself lol

This is true. They will escape threw the tiniest hole. Generally when feeding it should come out if its in there

Very true. To keep this as helpful as possible. Angels, puffers, certain wrasse are a few fish that can be over sensitive to copper. Dwarf angels seem to be to especially. Now that said I have treated a Coral beauty angel w copper. That was 2 yrs ago. Today its still going strong. After doing...

Ok folks lets break this age old question down. hypo is widely recognized as the safest way to treat sw ich. However is it the easier of the two?. You need a refractometer to do it correctly. You have to stay at 1.009 to be effective. Even a slight elevation can cause it to not be effective...

Agreed w above. The salinity must go down slowly!!!. Like from 1.027 to 1.024 in a day

Warranties are nice, but I still prefer to see what I'am buying. When I'am actually fish shopping I'll check lfs weekly. Just to monitor fish I have my eye on. My most recent fish a niger trigger, was checked on for a month then I finally bought it lol.

My golden sleeper headed goby eats anything not nailed down, even sea weed!. That isn't always the case tho. Finding one eating prepared is ideal tho. Just like Getting draggonets to eat frozen, not totally necessary but makes life easier
