I did a water change, 25%, so far my phosphates have dropped to around 1ppm I don't know if I hit a spot with less concentration or what. The only feeding I am doing is an algae clip for my tang, of course the trigger has to have some and I am still feeding my eel every day or so mainly to keep...

Just for the record my water going in is fine. It has a little if not any nitrates and phosphates are either zero or .15ppm. So I believe the source is either the fish food or the fish themselves. It could be a # of things. poop laying around, ect... I don't think it is this because my tank...

When I add up all my fish inches it is only around 24in, but I divide my eel in 2 to getter a more acurrate answer.:notsure:

And on the trigger police Seaweed-the niger trigger-will eventually follow the hippo tang.

Nitrates are a bit higher then normal, normally at 5-10ppm but I missed a water change due to pH imbalances.

Ou water is pretty good but the problem is, is that we get runoff from fields so we have tons of nitrates and phosphates and I can't measure either with my test kits when I run it through my DI.

1) are you using RODI water? I use a Kold-Stir Il becasue we have spring house water and the water that comes out of it is just as pure as a ro. 2) what Carbon? Chemi-Pure 3) what Skimmer? AquaC Remora 4) Fuge? Have some macro algae in my tank and a 3.75 in deep sand bed. 5) Kalkwasser...

My phosphate levels are at 5mg/l. I feed my fish 2x a day, dry food by Ocean Nutrition in the morning, and I alternate various frozen Ocean nutrition foods at night. I also feed my eel a figertip amount of shrimp 5x a week. I use Chemi-Pure instead of carbon. Where can the phosphates be coming...

PH tends to drop overnight and rise during the day due to photosynthesis by algae. My main tank held at 7.8 for months before I started testing for alkalinity and found out it was very low...I've been slowly bringing alk up and pH has been rock solid at 8.2 for a couple weeks now. What do you...

I had the same problem but it wasn't from too little oxygen or too little alkalinity it was from my calcium being so high, up in the 1,000's. So I switched off of Oceanic salt back to Instant Ocean since that was when the problem started to occur. Test your calcium if it seems that there's...

Nice snowflake his name is really cool. I just went with Snowy for my sfe. How big is Frozen Rain my sfe has only been gettig fatter and is only 12in long.

copperbanded are really hard to get to eat. Try a auriga. They eat really good. That is the one I wanted to get but they are said not to be reef safe.

Here is my eel, he's getting fatter.

I have used mine many times after stupidly brushing sand aganist my tank. All it is, is ultra fine wet/dry sand paper and come form grades 1800-8000.

Eels don't normally eat stars unless starving invert eaters normally eat shrimp, crabs, and lobsters. I have a seperpent star that sleeps in the same cave as my snowflake moray and the seem to get along, actually I am more worried about the starfish going after the eel. :nervous:

I use Oceanic but I might switch back to Reef Crystals because Oceanic salt is hard to get a good pH with.

Here are some butterfly species -Heniochus Black and White Butterflyfish 10" easiest of the BF -Racoon Butterlfyfish 8" another easier one -Auriga Butterflyfish 8" another easier one These are the easiest most common bfs.

The Auriga Butterfly's along with the Bannerfish Butterflies are the easiest of the butterfy's. Many people think that these fish adapt very well to aquarium fluctuations and life. Yes you can buy algae strips, many people don't suggest using any sort of land based food on fish because it is not...

Took mine about 4 days until it started making foam.

You could use an air pump and push air on them to see if the helps
