Well, i added kalk. My level before adding was 9.6 or 3(?) i think. I kept a water jug like quazzi said over the light's and let it drip. About 3/4th of a gallon took approx 2 - 2.5 hrs to drip. Is this too too much too soon ? I will test the water again this tuesday before a water change...

Originally posted by Articuno well, Its your choice not mine, I just don't want any of your fish to be killed. Yup's. thank's for the thought thouh. THe only other fish with the clown is going to be a scooter. Both introduced same time, and both will be small. The other that i woould add...

Originally posted by Articuno Well, I like them and all, but they're the most aggressive of the clowns and might kill other inhabitants U have an Eel in the tank :D . you have lots of hiding place's for the blenny and gobies as well. Plus i'm not sure if or not it will eat the invert's.

Originally posted by Articuno Everything your getting seems fine, except one. the tomato clown is the most aggressive clown and once fully grown it is likely to kill any other fish you put in the tank. yes I know. But i don't plan to keep a 20L for too long ;) . I will upgrade in maybe a...

Originally posted by Articuno I also might get a skunk, bicinctus, saddleback or cinnamon. Please advise!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why not a tomato clown ?? They get big, you have a nice size tank for it as well. :)

Originally posted by mnreefman make sure to add nori strip for him to much on dont want him running out of food, also try to get him to take brine or mysis shrimp. Yups read about the algae strip's for him. :) And since i feed/will feed my other fish frozen brine soaked in garlic, i'll try...

Originally posted by mnreefman how bad is the alge, i am a big fan of fighting conchs after seeing what they did for my tank. Its hardly present. So that's y i left the conch out and got the scooter :)

Ok, i've placed an order for a scooter blenny instead of the shrimp and fighting conch. If any other suggestion's, let me know. My order would ship on tuesday :)

Oh also, i do have little hair algae on my rock's as well. If that matter's in a decision of a blenny/goby :)

Well, i'm ready to finally place my U-build order with SWF.com and was wondering what sort of Goby or Blenny I should order. This is what my order would consist of : 1 Aquacultured Fighting Conch 3 Feather Duster MAYBE - 1 - Scarlet Cleaner Shrimp Sand Sifting Cerith Snail 1 Aquacultured Tomato...

Originally posted by broomer5 Personally ~ on a small tank like a 20L, that is not loaded to the hilt with a lot of calcium/carbonate demanding corals - I would think that a two part additive and monthly water changes would be easy and effective. If you want to drip kalk - drip kalk. But it's...

Originally posted by ksujason Stupid question maybe, but what does it hurt if the bottom junk gets in? Thanks honestly not sure. Its written on the bottle not to let that in. I'm at work so can't type out what's exactly written. broomer5 : What if I use Bi-ionic instead of Kent's kalk ...

Originally posted by Kipass4130 you need to let it drip by gravity and constantly... not jsut once a day pumps would run to fast and would run dry... when you drip.. make sure you make the tubing go up into the container where you wont get the bottom junk that will collect in your Kalk...

Ok, i was given a link by quazzi (thank's :) ) on how to add kalk to the tank which was helpful. (method, using vinegar etc). But I have a plain simple 20L with no auto top off, or a canopy or a stand next to the tank that is higher by which i can add a Jug with a tube and drip valve. Would it...

Ah... i got Alk tested yesterday. Its high as per the tests was 9.6 (DKH?) . The rest of the thing's tested out fine. As in ammonia, nitrate's, nitrites. Did not test caclium since i had just tested it last week and have started adding liquid calcium. Puffy is gone. I bought kalk to buffer...

Ok, i get it on the kalk. Lots of reading to do ! No sponge's either now that i'm informed/educated. Don't want just a pair of perc's. Want a variety. Any suggestion's ??

I also wanted to get either a bubble or open brain. Good/bad ?

Originally posted by jamesurq Assuming you know how to dose it?? If not, read about it. It's fairly simple but not as simple as just dumping it in. You'll need to come up with a way to dose..> There's lots of simple ways of doing it.... If you need a simple one, let me know. Also - don't...

OK, no algae bloom as such. SO decided against the Nudi branch. is algae all the lawn blenny eat's ? I have low diatom's and algae on the glass. For the front and side's i usually use Mag-float to clean it. The rear i let it be . Could I have some sort of Goby or Blenny that would help in...

Thank's ! Well, yes, i might have the ites and Ates confused :) . I do have my own tests, just not the Calc and ALK. Which I will get soon. Yep, not sure of the Angel, but just wanted to keep the option open if its right. I will be buyin all this stuff from SWF.com and i think the bangaii's...
