    Animals are dying, not sure why?

    My salinity is hardly high, it is 1.025 (I think) and I tested for copper twice, there is 0. I did a water change last night, hopefully that will help. I have PC lights, I think 130 watt total. It is a bubble tip anemone and has been fine for over 9 months till now. Even the little white...

    Animals are dying, not sure why?

    Oh I forgot, I tested the salinity at the LFS and it is close to perfect too, so it can't be that either (trying to cover all my bases here)

    Animals are dying, not sure why?

    Tested the ammonia, phosphate and for copper. All were perfect. I may have found the cause, I stupidly thought Sparkletts was fine to top off with but I have heard that is not good to use. Hopefully I wasn't the only one dumb enough to think that. What is your guy's/girl's opinions on the...

    Animals are dying, not sure why?

    The salinity is good, I use the floating glass type (the cheap kind with the thermometer inside). I will get a test of the ammonia and reply. Thanks for replying.

    White Spots Everywhere

    what fish will work in my tank

    All your fish IMO will be unhappy. The tang and the puffer because they don't have enough room and the clowns because the puffer will try and kill them.

    Are these compatible?

    Thanks for checking that for me, it is so hard to check every animal for every aspect. I think my list is good but I wanted to make sure.
