I have three xenia colonies, I want more. All bought here at SWF.

the first look like snail eggs. Nasarius (sp) I have these snails and we have white spots on rock and tank walls. Do you have these type of snails?

Is any of this still available?

It was a huge fluffy monster that was brought down by a greek god in 300 BC.

Well unfortunately the water changes seem to have put the soft corals (xenia colonies) in shock... They look like they did when they were first put into the tank... What do you think?

Originally Posted by 1journeyman Amquel does seem to lock the ammonia and make it "safer". Water changes are the only way to remove ammonia is a populated tank. Lots of water changes... Okay, how much, how often? (water changes)

lol apparently two people didn't get the memo about how outgoing links are prohibited on SWF forums. :thinking:

An acceptable range for fish-only tanks is from 10 to 40 ppm. Although fish-only tanks may run at much higher levels, sometimes with no ill effects, this is not recommended. In reef systems even a minor level of nitrate can cause damage as well as death to delicate corals, anemones and other...

Originally Posted by dapak83 and also my ph is 8.0 i think thats normal rite or is it a little on the higher end? your ph is fine.

To my knowledge that would be your only option to up your pH. Baking soda is often recommended. - (pH of baking soda is around 8) But i would buy pH up 8.3 and add it veryyyy slowly to the tank over 4 hours time or more.
