I use Saltwater Master. Sorry, more questions. Do you have sand? Live rock? What filtration?

It's a bigger picture than just alkaline. Your alkaline and your PH run hand in hand. IMO, you should deal with the source of the problem. Additives are not a good idea for a beginner. I often think, not needed. Are your fish having trouble? Breathing hard? Lethargic? Do they feed? Your water...

You really ought to invest in your own test kit. They are very simple, but very necessary. We need to know if your tank is cycling. How long has the system been running?

I have only ever gotten this info by searching the individual fish. I don't have much clue on scientific names, so I just use the "brand name". It's all going to be approximate, for the most part, don't you think? Have you got some you are really wondering? I think a lot about this. I have...

Originally Posted by My Way Out of curiosity, what did your Mandarins cost? Mine was $20, she is about 1.5". I thought that was a good price. Mine was just 14 and change, but she's "just" a green.

As an added thought, the initial purchase of the dwarf seahorses is minor compared to the concern of their feeding requirements. Have you researched their needs?

What and how many were his tank mates and other feed competitors? How long had he been in the tank? It could very well be a disease issue or other occurance, like so many in these marine tanks that just make us I'm sorry for your loss and good job with the hiding thing, Dad!

Great photo? My sally uses the barnacle (I think it is?) and coralline on the glass as a ladder.

A little better. Last evening, while feeding, I watched her snick up a mysis, spit it out, snick again, spit again and move on..she doesn't care for it. Are there captive bred vs wild caught mandarinfish?
