How do you recalibrate a refractometer?? How often should this be done?

I wouldn't go with a HOB filter, especially for a tank that size. Your best bet would be a wet/dry sump, if this is not possible I would also say a good canister filter.

The last fish that I add to my tank is going to be a Copperband Butterfly. What are some of the methods people have used to get these fish to eat?? I have about 8 months before I get one, so I'm making preparations now. Thank you.

I would say it was something you added to your tank. If you stirred up your sand bed good enough you may have had a huge nitrate spike, causing the fish to die. However, I don't think that a nitrate spike due to stirring your sand bed would kill the fish that fast. What size tank do you have...

Well I wish my tank looked that good. I'll read into the Vodka dosing, thank you. I don't think I have good enough balance to stack my rocks like that..

Really?? How does that work?? How much do you use?

You need both. I would buy the best of the both you can afford. If there's two things you definitely do not want to skimp on its filtration and your skimmer.

Thank you for the responses. I think the Snowflake is going to be the Eel I decide on. Thank you.

Also, what do you mean when you say you dose with Vodka??

Sorry to get off topic but how do you get your rocks to stay up like that?? I've tried to do that and they always fall. Tank looks amazing by the way..

What kind of CUC would be okay to keep with a Snowflake Eel? I know they'll eat crustations , so would Urchins, Snails, and maybe even hermit crabs be okay?? Thanks

What do you mean by neurotic??

I would also say starvation. Every turbo snail I have ever bought died within a month of adding it to my tank.

I just set my new 75 gallon up 3 weeks ago and it took a week to settle. I kept my powerheads off. I started to run my skimmer on the 5th day and that seemed to help a lot.

I don't know about the redness but my Foxface changes colors all the time. While the lights are on he's a normal yellow color, but after the lights go off I noticed that he turns different shades of black to white all over his body.

I don't mean to keep starting threads that sound repetitive, I simply cannot make up my mind about what to do with my aquarium.... Maybe some suggestions could help me make up my mind. Here's my setup, 75 gallon bow front, 120 LBS of LR, 100 LBS of LS, 48" Nova Extreme T-5 fixture. Should I do...

I have a coralife super skimmer that works well. I've had it for a year now and it's still working well.

I already have 2 clowns, 2 chromies, 1 foxface. I want to add six line wrasse, kole tang, dwarf angel (maybe flame or coral beauty) some kind of gobie, and maybe a fairy wrasse.. My tank is 75 gallon bow with around 130 lbs of LR and 100 LBS or LS. Thanks for the input.

I only run my lights for 8 hours. The rest of the time nothing is on.

I turn mine on 15 minutes before and they stay on 15 minutes after. An hour sounds like a long time.
