Hi Tinydove On the left of this page click opn inverets and chose BTA from the list. It tells you how to acclimatise on the page.

6 hours doesn't seem a lot really. For the fish the lighting is just to show them off, they don't benefit in the way corals do.

No KH is the thing that is being measured. DKH and mEq/L are both measurements of KH. Do you want to convert DKH to mEq/L?

DKH is one way of measuring KH

not just the 7100k blue bulbs. Kip I'm about to buy some T5 compacts (probably not PC like in USA). They are rated 7100k daylight whites. I'm confused now because of the 7100k blue bulb statement - can u help me out a bit?

Live rock (LR). When live rock is out of the water there is a certain amount of die off from things living on it. Cured live rock has been put in a holding tank for a few weeks until it is safe(ish) to put straight in a display tank. Uncured live rock would not be safe in a display tank as it...

Quick answers: 1 - heater yes, lights don't really matter - maybe put them on for live rock though. 2 - Don't worry about ph, but keep an eye on the others. 3 - There will be nothing to skim yet, but some say yes, some say no. I wouldn't bother skimming yet.

Patches of corraline on my LR turns white from time to time. I have no idea why but it lasts a week or so.

A really rough guide: Low - Normal flourescent Med - T5, VHO, PC High - M Halides I may stand corrected though.

Define the size of your tank.

You're cycling a tank with those fish?? You must have loads of money to risk losing them.

Just a question: Why were you adding calcium if it was showing off the scale on your test kit? If your calcium was over 500, dsoesn't it start forming like snow in the water? I'm sure something like thast happens. Get a second opinion on calcium test results?

Nothing to worry about. Mine has lost it's feathers a few times for one reason or another, but always grown back so far.

I've got snails, they never seem to clear a patch.

Sorry, I live in UK. Try online?

You need calibration fluid to check your pH meter. Unless you do this you are just totally guessing that there is a problem with your tank pH. If there is no problem you have no need to do water changes.

Yeah, but rainwater can be filthy. Depends where you live, what's nearby, atmosphere etc. Have you calibrated your pH meter?

Clean any filter media with tank water and not tap water.

Yeah I got powerhead.

Are you sure your pH meter is working ok - have you calibrated it recently?
