I haven't tested recently but Magnesium was ok in past - can it get out of wack w/o using additives? I'm thinking my skimmer may be the issue - it used to produce huge quantities of watery output (despite being on the highest setting) and now it makes very little by comparison. Generally I...

I'm having similar problems with my softies - my post didn't yield many leads. How much are your water changes? What are your water parameters? My skimmer doesn't seem to be producing as much skimmate as it used to but otherwise I can't find anything different in my setup. Have you read any...

Thanks for the suggestions - the test kit is Seachem I think, not the dip sticks. I haven't checked Alk lately but when my pH is OK I usually don't see much change but I will check. Probably I need to do more frequent water changes.... The positioning issue has me stumped since they looked so...

Looking for suggestions on my failing softies - over last several months I have added small pieces of LR with green stripe mushrooms, green zoas and green paly and a small ric. Recently all seem to be struggling - they are positioned low/mid tank, PH not aimed directly on. The mushrooms used...

Hi all Lurking for some time but I haven't posted much. I'm glad to see this forum added. I'm only a couple months into setting up my 55gal and would love to make choices that make the smallest environmental impact possible. I've researched which fish/inverts are tank raised and will try to...

First fatality - found one of the clowns in my skimmer (it has a prefilter box and I had stuck a sponge in there but there were gaps). The other still looks fine. Am I reading too much into the frantic swimming to stay in place? Neither was truely being pushed around - they kept the same...

Hi - new here. I've been lurking for a while, trying to soak up the knowledge base. My 55gal tank has been set up for a couple of months and I just added a pair of tank raised juvenile clown fish (about 1 inch long); these was the first fish to go in to the tank with the LR, CUC, DSB. My gph...
