Lol. Time doesn't matter. You'll see it when you see it. I have auto doser. Mag. Cal. Alk. Randys receipe. Keep all stable at. Alk 8.6. Cal 450 mag. 1250. Nitrates. 0.02. Phos. 0.03. Have them high in the tank running 8 x. 80w T5's. Is there anything else you can think of that may improve...
Hi. Always been a lps girl but recently bought a few pieces if sps. I know they need high flow & light low nutrients. Which is my biggest struggle. My lps need some goodies lps don't. It really is a juggling act.
Oh my god ! I can't believe I just did that. Sorry. !!!!! iPhone typing. Large fingers small keys. I was talking about filter socks other day. Auto correct changed word. So I actually asked a complete stranger how many "dicks" he wanted. Geez did I have to explain that one. Once again. Sorry
I agree slow slow. Research research research. I find we all impulse buy, make mistakes. Just remember it's only a stupid mistake if you don't Lear from it.
Ok. If fish are dying I would suggest your ammonia is a problem. Api test kits are not great test kit and are renowned for in accuracy. I would get some seachem prime ( makes ammonia nitrite. & nitrates harmless) keep up the water changes. & invest in some more accurate test kits. Eg. Sailifert...
Sorry new to this forum, what does rest ÏDK"mean.
I know the api is color coded but can you give me numbers please,,, ammonia, nitrite and nitrate ?
EG is ammonia 0 or 5 is nitrate 5 or 25 etc, would be really helpful....thanks.
Wow, it amazes me the amount of fish you have in that tank, What size we talking ? Did I see a lipstick tang in there ? I love the look of a full tank, Really nice video too. congrats I know how much hard work it is, it looks so clean tooo......urghhhh !!!
Yes, corals are very expensive here, for instance that red lobo I showed is approx $120 to buy, seems anything with color (other than brown and green) is expensive. bought a clam about 6cm long and because it had blue mantel was $220.00. I don't know what your prices are like but I consider ours...
Hi @ClaptonsGhost Well very glad I inspired someone. lol... Love your photos and your tank, as you've probably noticed I love color and it appears you do too. Love your corals and your fish certainly look in great shape. Well done.
People often say all test are good, but it certainly helps if we have those number you are mentioning are "good"
People have a different interpretations of good.
In particular what are ammonia, nitrite and nitrate readings and of course Salinity. These are the numbers we need to help diagnose...
