that is a good idea. only if i had a sump. i will do that when i set up my 65 with a sump next month. i will try the baster method next time i get a creature just to see if i like it better. i have had great luck with the drip acclimation but i am always up for new things to try.

i dont know why is was so low. i have a 10g. hang on filter. powerhead creating flow. 14lbs live sand, 10 lbs of live rock. its been set up for about 8 weeks now. so it's still new.

yeah i use kent buffer. it handles ph and ak. i just forgot to use it ( it was in the bottom of my salt mixing bucket that i havnt used in a long time)

i ride a 2000 gsxr 600. great bike. used to ride a 98 katana (so glad that bike is not in my garage anymore)

i did a water change aswell.

ok so i just retested my tank. (dont test at night. hehehe) my ph was between 7.8 and 8.0. so i just added some buffer so we'll see what happens. hopefully that was the case and the problems will be handled.

Anyone else?

yeah. the bicolor goat and cleaner were both acclimated with the drip method for about 2 hours.

i have three fish that have been in the tank and are doing wonderful. 2 are from the lfs i usually go to and one from a local lfs (which i no longer go to cause i have come to realize they aren't very good. the final straw was me calling to ask if they did full test panels and they use a...

Yeah no i'm not. i did a waterchange after i lost the bicolor which was like a week ago. i put the cleaner is yesterday. i'm going in tomorrow to get the water tested.

Nitrite: 0 Nitrate: 30 Ammonia: 0 Ph: 8.2 Calcium: 400 Salinity: Hydrometer says 1.023

i acclimate with the drip method. i dont have a qt yet. i am in the process of building a second tank right now and the one i have will be the qt. i dont know my true salinity cause i dont have a refractometer. my hydrometer is reading 1.023. i know i need to buy a refractometer but i am taking...

Please. I need some input or ideas. I am lost here. Everything that has been in my tank since it was establshed, is doing great. My levels are great (except salinity. i have no idea if its on or not. i use a hydrometer, so it may be off. i know i know i need to get a refractometer.) but back to...

ok so an update on the bicolor goat. belly up last night. not even in my tank for 24 hours. I am at the point of frustration. in the past week i have lost 2 hermits and a bicolor goat. I have no idea what is causing it. all levels are great. so i am gonna step up my water changes thinking that...

yeah so i decided. i did some reading at the book store and i am taking him back. I just dont feel like risking it. its not worth it too me.

i heard the same thing. as long as you feed them a couple time s a day

also i have been watching him at the lfs store for a while. like a month before i bought him.

well i found out they need to be fed alot. as well as they like live things in the sand. i cant keep them with shrimp. The guy at my lfs ( who i have been going to for a while and trust) said he would be fine. I feed him frozen as well as copepds (that are in the tank)

Just got a bicolor goat. Any advice you guys have for them. i did my research just wondering if you guys could send some experience or advice on keeping them.

i did some reading after i posted the snail bit. pretty sure they are baby nerite snails. they look like sesame seeds in the planktonic larval stage.
