Okay then I'll be getting an akalinity test this evening. Soooo...if it is too high that means....what? If it is too low that means what? Which would cause a PH decrease high alkalinity or low? Sorry I'm just really new to this!

I'm using the one with the 5ml tubes and chemicals not sure of the brand right off hand...here is the picture

Okay....Skimmer appears to be working properly and Waterflow seems to be good......In your previous response about akalinity....are you saying that there is another test that checks for alkalinity outside of the PH test Kit? I have the kit that checks Amonia, Nitrates and PH..and another amonia...

One thing that I remembered that I did differently the night before is turnoff the airpump that was pumping bubbles into the tank through an air stone type device. Because I had just read that pumping bubbles into a saltwater aquarium was bad. I just checked the PH again and it is still down...

My nitrate levels are normal....

My Tank has been up and running for about 40 days.....I completed the cycling process and added the Yellow Tang and Zoa Colony on the 33rd day and the Blue Tang on the 36th day. As far as my water chang routing I just top it off with tap water or Spring water that has gone through RO process...

Do you have any shrimps and crabs....because thus far it looks like the Tangs and those two triggers that I mentioned earlier in the thread will be okay together but I just don't want them to eat my shrimp and crabs or any other inverts that I may have in the future.

Would bottled Spring water make this classification?

Greetings all, During my 30 day cycle the LFS said that I should replace the water that evaporates from within my tank with regular water, but what about when the cycle has completed. What type of water should I use after the cycle completes and fish are added? Thank you,

Greetings all, Has anyone had success keeping the Yellow and Blue Tangs in the same tank with the Niger Trigger or the Blue Throat Trigger. I looked those specific Triggers up and they are recommended as reef safe, but the LFS said that they werent? Does anyone have this combination of species...

Greetings all, Wow! I just read a post about copper and all of the trouble it can cause....but there was no information on how to test for it. Anyone have any good recommendations? Thanks

Thanks...and thanks to all for helping me ID these creatures.

Yes...that is exactly it.....I was just creating an image to upload and that is exactly it...now I can look it up to see if it is a good or bad creature, looks cool though...Hope its not bad!

Greetings again! Thanks for all of the information. Yesterday I added 6 Turbo snails and 10 hermit crabs. The snails went right to work...amazing! This morning there is a big difference in the appearance of Ditoms.
