    Green Mushroom

    Hydrometers

    Was wondering where I can get one that is very accurate Without sounding rude, noone has answered the question yet. You all agree that is more accurate but the question asked was WHERE. (I would also like the answer)

    Water Flow

    Just to jump on the coat-tails of this question, when additional power heads are added, does it matter what direction they face? If I have two power heads on opposite sides of the tank, should they flow towards each other or away or does it not make any difference?

    Dead Fish

    This is a new(er) SW set up. Although I read on this site I should have used a piece of shrimp to start the cycle, it was after I had already purchased 5 "starter" fish. NO3 - 0 NO2 - 0 Alk - "High" Ph - 8.6 Amonia - 0 the Alk and Ph are corrected by water changes (I think). Is everything else...
