Thanks for The info. I’m going to raise the salinity level up with the top off’s slowly.So the increased salinity at .25 wont harm the fish at all correct?

So my Fish store guy said the fish should be kept at .020-.023. You say that’s fine for the short term but not the long term . Why would they tell me this if they are selling me all the fish and the anemone? I’ll slowly raise the salt level over the next week or so and hope the fish are OK its...

Quick question. My salt level is between .20 and .21 which I’m told is fine for the fish I have right now.I have one anemone which seems to be flourishing fine in this salt level. My local aquarium guy tells me my level is too low for the anemone and I should raise it to .25. He said it’s fine...

Ok Thanks again UOTE="lmforbis, post: 3598905, member: 292926"]Once your tank is stable the amount of time needed is minimal. Big tanks are easier to keep stable.

Very well said inforbis As I've said Tanked is 90% shtic and dumb jokes but I do like seeing the variety of fish. I dvr it so I can fast forward past lots of the crap LOL My son is a tech teacher and has the ability to make an acrylic tank so in a few months or year I might be going big once...

Oh I realize that about tanked it's basically a sitcom LOL I just get an idea of the different type of fish from it not that I would follow any of their practices . Guess I'll have to just be satisfied with my three little tiny fish for a while Make she wonder how long any of these tanks on...

Thanks again ImForbis Maybe investing in a RODI filter system. I also do craft brewing and use distilled water for it and my son said I could use the RODI for that and also for making coffee so it would serve three purposes . I hope the little bit of topping or five done with tapwater hasn't...

Hi again gals and guys. Two quick questions . When topping off the tank due to evaporation probably have to add some conditioner to remove ammonia etc. I actually forgot to do that the last few times I topped off a little bit when I noticed bubbles from my sterilizer output . My readings had...
