Just got our water tests back for our local area... Will .54 copper kill inverts?

To big for seahorses??

So after my disaster a month ago I made a little progress. I mentioned I had the two newborn dwarf seahorses living in a glass soup jar. They were doing good in there. One morning I woke up and found one dead. No real reason that I could find. Test readings on my larger tank had come back good...

Ammonia 0 nitrite .25 nitrate 40 This is after a 25% water change. Should I do another one now? Wait until this evening and do another one? Have a slow drip of water coming out over the day with a slow drip of water replacing what I take out? Im not sure how this happened either. I can't find...

Will dwarf seahorses only have one baby? Theres one microscopic baby in the tank. It doesn't look fully developed though :( I looked all around the filter and theres no others though so it just seems he had one. Is this possible? Also whats the possibility it came out underdeveloped? It appears...

Can you use it as a top off water?

IS this a bad fish to get? I have a a ton of pods. You can see them on all the live rock and the glass walls. But I thought they are like the mandarin and would slowly starve ?

Another dumb question from yours truly, Im curious. My 40 gallon needs to be topped off every 3-4 days, but this new 5 gallon tank hasn't had to be topped off once in the last 3 weeks to maintain the same salinity. I've added some new saltwater every now and then but thats only because I...

How do I convert ppt into the 1.02 form Im use to? More specifically I need some water between 30-34 ppt and my refractor says it's at 1.022 is that the same amount?

I caught my daughter spraying hair spray on the glass. (She claims she was cleaning it) I couldn't be sure if she got it in the tank or not so I just watched it for a while. I think she did though. Some zoo's closed up and one of the fish seemed to be breathing hard. I changed 5 gallons (all I...

(clear body with a pink middle dome shaped also.)

Alright I have a 30 gallon fish tank I am gonna use to breed tisbe pods. I figure Im only gonna fill it some of the way though so prob 15-20 gallons. Heres my thoughts on what I need and how it will work. Help fill in anywhere I'm wrong please. 30 gallon filled with fresh saltwater mix. Tank...

They make a digital ph tester and a digital salinity meter do they make these products for other things we should be testing for? (ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, calcium, alkalinity, phosphates, etc.Are they accurate? Money aside would you purchase them? Any brands that are better if there is such a...

Tank Stuff: Tank members: 2 fish, some polyp's 2 mushrooms, 1 neon frogspawn, and 1 anemone (who will be leaving the tank tomorrow. Ammonia 0ppm nitrite: 0ppm nitrates: >5 ppm alkalinity: 300ppm salinity: 1.024-1.026 (gave room for change because i might miss a top off or something but its...

There is something wrong with my anemone still. At first his behavior was just different. Now over the last couple weeks It's gotten worse. He is now retreating farther into the sand bed for longer periods of time. His mouth is always open. His tentacles on half his body have seem to have shrunk...

I hate buying stuff online! Im not even sure how it happened. I've purchased almost everything with pay pal and I thought they kept your card information private. Last night I was unable to sleep so I decided to buy some more hitches for my seahorse tank online. I had to input all my credit card...

Heres what I found out so far. Please give me any and all input. #1. Dwarf seahorses must be feed live food. #2. They must be feed 2-4 times a day. More often if babies are present. #3. They can not survive off baby brine shrimp alone. #4. Brine shrimp need to be enriched for 24 hours. #5...

I found the cutest rimless 4.6 gallon fish tank at my LFS. It was a goldfish starter kit. Setting me back $46.99 but so worth it. After shown the black sand here I knew I had to have it also so for $7.99 I got myself a 10 pound bag of black sand. A LED 50/50 light fixture found adds the...
