I was using Kalkwasser (which is new to me) for my make up water but it had been a week or more since I had added any. I do know that the film on top of the kalkwasser water (which I strain off) is caustic but I am not totally sure what that means. Also, from what I understand, when using...

Thanks for the info' Rock. I will continue to try with the dried sea-weed which I have tried before. I stick it into little holes in the live rock and I have yet to see him munch on it. Hopefully he will get hungry enough to try it. Thanks all

Thanks for the input Reef Ranger but he is an herbivore (I think????). I have tried lettuce clips and also flake with no luck yet. Today, for the first time since I got him, I seen him eat something out of mid-water rather then scrapping the rock. Also, my tank is loaded with live rock. I...

My lawnmower blenny has exhausted his natural food source from the live rocks in my tank. I am wondering if anyone out there is aware of any other food that he will take. thanks
