Thank you for your help. Yes the water PH was low, we are slowing increasing it to 8.2. The store was nice enough to give a credit on the angle fish, as we bought three fish that day. The other two that we bought was a lawnmower blennie and yellow tang. Those two seem to be going great. We also...

Also wanted to add Salinity - 1.022 Temp 76.0 - was told to lower the temp very few days to 74 to help with the red slime

Last night after noticing that the lovely coral beauty angle fish was missing- thanks the the frosty snowflake eel; whom has moved to a new home. We had to tear up the tank to get frosty out. Anyway during this process Biscut (dog faced fuffer) turned the color of the sand. He ate well after...

ok i have found some in tank fume - does anyone know to make on cheaper? also how to you know when to take them from the fume and use them for feeding - or do they just float out through the drain holes and supply the tank?

Thank you all for your response's I didnt mean to start a big debate about methods used. I will leave that at that - as i'm not opposed to using either methods. I just needed something to start quickly taking care of the problem - before more started hatching and driving us all nuts

55 gal - HOB filter Pengiun made for a 75 gal - running 2 carbons and poly fill - one PH at this time - waiting on the other one to arrive - 50 -60 pounds of LR - LS/CC mixed for subtrate The horseshoe crab is supposed to stay same according to SF.com

Just got my test kit today - so have to relay on the the LS Any way here's the results: Salinity 1.021 Temp 82 Ammonia 0 Nitrite 0 Nitrate 20.00 pH 8.20 I am pretty sure that all the numbers are okay - expect for the Nitrate? So insite to my readings would be great. 55gal LR and LS only I did a...
