thank you, I will invest in a more appropriate test kit in the future and look at other fish to replace the damsels, I will also look at other algae to introduce into the tank....can a high Nitrate kill the fish?? I will do a 50% water change mid month to get it down though as I am concernet...

Oh ok thanks for that I will rid the tank of the nudibranch....yes i have noticed the algae is disappearing slowly and is floating bits around the tank and attaching itself to the wave maker, also I do have a protein skimmer already in place! I haven't put in any buffer as yet , although have...

I also added some healthy algae called Chaetomorpha which is a natural Nitrate reducer!! but it looks like it isnt helping much!

Coral eating?? OMG more worries! lol! yes it is a 3 striped black and white fish which is being kept to one corner of the tank the damsel is dominating the tank at present...the nudibug is doing a great job of cleaning up things as it is very greedy but i dont want it eating my candelabra...

Hello guys I'm quite a newbie on here and was wondering if anyone can give me some advice please on my Nitrate and KH levels....I have a 58 litre nano set up which has been through its cycle and has been set up by previous owner for a little over a year now....I have been testing everything...

well this one's a Haitian or pink tip condy....so now have found out that it doesn't form relationships with any fish sadly but can eat them instead! guess I'll have to keep it well fed with shrimp etc....just hope it doesn't harm my feather dusters which are just growing they are very small...

Thankyou....I have covered the wave outlet with some netting I am just a bit concerned that it might just start floating about...I also read that some of the anemones are quite dangerous to handle....it did cling to me but so far I have no skin irritation or anything just dont want it aggitated...

Hello everyone, could anyone please tell me or not....I have been reading up on anemones and have just purchased my first one, it is a pink tipped Caribbean, I climatized him and had a bit of a sticky situation trying to coax it out of the bag....anyhow now he has been in my tank for about an...

Hi, I was told to replace 10 % of the salt water (marine tank water) with RO water to reduce salt levels so that is what I did, after which the salt level was at 1.020, therefore i started mixing salt in a container with some of the tank water first, adding it gradually over the period of two...

Thankyou :) I have taken the sample to my local Aquatics and he tested for all of them....he said everything seemed fine apart from the Nitrite is up by 2 ?? I wouldn't have thought just a minor thing like that could kill my fish?? I bought some bacteria balls to place in my filter to see how it...

hi, below is the link of what algae it is and i put in the whole bunch which said 150mls of Chaetomorpha Chaeto which reduces the Nitrates naturally.....I didnt test the PH level when I took the dead fish out as I was somewhat distraught but am taking a sample to my local Aquatics later today to...
