Thanks, but I have to watch him/her when she gets to close to things. I''m pretty sure the clowns are starting to mate. The lighting is 3 250 MH; and 2 36 inch flourescent kits consisting of 4 bulls with total length of six feet that are 96 watt actnic fl, and 96 watt 10,000 daylight. I don't...

He/she had some shrimp today and is feeling :joy: (The clown is about 3 inches)

The R/O is: 4-Stage RO/DI System-Pro

I am going to call the supplier, which is West Des Moines, Iowa. Maybe that's why most people drink bottled water lol. I am at work and will look into the filter questions that you pose. I know the filter does give R/O water with a lower reading than when I test it directly from the tap. It...

I just found out that the source of the amonia at constant levels of .25-.50 in my 200 gal is from the tap water that I use for R/O. There is no doubt about the test results, and I did repeated tests of bottled water, my R/O, and water from the tap. I was amazed. What should I do? Is the...

I just tested bottled water for amonia; and then tested our tap water. The problem isn't with the test kit, because the result was zero. Our tap water tested at .50!! That means the test kit works obviously, and that the source of amonia in the tank is from the tap water as the source of the...

I tried making a link as requested, but didn't know how. The conversation with Beth is on page 3 of disease and treatment. Thanks.

Thanks for your replies. I will have the water tested elswhere to make sure. I really think it must be the test kit at this point. It's funny, because I tested the R/O water only to see what zero amonia would look like. Interesting how things work out in science.

A closer view.....

Beth and I were trying to figure out why my 200 had amonia readings always between .25-.50. Just for the heck of it, I did the same test on my garbage can of R/O water which was at .124, and just had some Kalkwasser Mix in it. I did the test the same way using Aquarium Pharmaceuticals...

Precious (my daughter named him). Mine is Craps. Precious is bow legged and a little asthmatic, but still pretty cute.

Thanks. He/she is moving.

Jedi, we have a dog like that (without the cape). Guess I should move one before something happens, or no big deal?

not very clear, but another one I wanted to post..

Is there going to be a problem between these (In the first picture)? The tank is about 7 months young.

That would certainly avoid any sudden changes. Wouldn't it make sense to do three or four gallons at a time so as to be able to suction the sand? In any event, you feel I should be at about 15% a month? By the way, the fish is almost completely healed. What a relief.

Most of the lighting off.... Regal is much better..

Just a little over .25 I won't get too heavy on the water change which would have put me at 20% of 200 gal approx (and I have a lot of live rock). Once I get the amonia fully under control do you recommend about 15%, or does it depend on the levels?

Great news :happyfish :happyfish :jumping: After two days the eyes are a lot better, and she was able to come out and actively see and eat food. What a relief. I am doubling the amount of my water changes which appears to be the problem. Thanks for you help, and would welcome any other...
