    Salt brand does make a difference IMO

    I finally ran out of the bucket of Tropic Marin Pro Reef salt and performed a water change with Seachem salt. Here is a bit of history first. When I first started up the tank I had a bucket of Oceanic and quickly found my pH around 7.8 to 7.9 and couldn't go any higher unless I used a buffer. My...

    Trigger injury

    My Hawaiian (Indian) Triggerfish was clearing out sand under the rocks to clean up his sleeping area. He managed to scrape his left eyeball on some rock. There is now some foggyness to that part of the eye where it was scraped. Other then proper nutrition and water quality is there anything I...

    A fish size comparison

    I got a fairly nice shot of my Trigger and Maroon clown. the Trigger is way bigger but when I put him in the clown gave him what for by chasing him and trying to nip him whenever he came to close the clowns host. They are now good buddies and swim around together sometimes. The Triggers name is...

    What's up with this salt?

    I just mixed 20 gallons in a 40 gallon garbage can for QT water changes. The water was clear at about 1.18 SG so I add some more salt like I usually do to bring it to 1.22 SG. About 30 minutes later the water is all cloudy. I've been doing this with the same salt for about 3 weeks now. The salt...

    OMG!! now what do I do??

    I just received my Hawaiian Trigger overnight FedEx and although the fish seems find he is HUGE. SWF.com offers this fish at 3 to 4 inches but what they sent me was at least 6 maybe 7 inches.

    ? for any SWF.com moderator

    Just out of curiosity I was wondering how SWF. com processes new livestock especially fish. For example; when a new fish comes in how is it cared for and how long before it is offered for sale? :happyfish

    I finally got to order my new fish from this site. I had a Hawaiian black Trigger ( Black Durgeon) on my wishlist forever and actually gave up and order a blue throat trigger locally, but he died.

    Salt issues

    So I changed salt from Oceanic to Tropic Marin Pro Reef. The Oceanic had really high calcium content (500) and the PH was usually low but stable. So I got the Tropic Marin and mixed a 15 gallon batch in the big trash container I use for mixing. The water has mixed for about 24 hours and here are...
