Tarasco, How's the fish doing? I hope all is well with it. John

Hi everybody (I feel like Dr. Nick from the Simpsons), My Ocell. clown took a liking to my Goniopora. The Gono didn't like it at first but now he's used to the affection. Anyway, I just noticed that every time the clown dives into the gono he bites a polyp & makes it retract. I don't think...

Oceanic Salt Test I just used my 5 gal sample for a water change on my 20 Gal. FOWLR today. Here are the results: I used one full bag of 5 Gal mix and 5 - 1 Gal jugs of distilled water. I had it mixing for 4 hours. SG @ 78 deg = 1.021 using a Pinpoint Salinity monitor pH = 8.0 using a...

Maximum dosage according to the instructions is no more than 1ml/gal per 24 hrs. So yes you will be adding alot but over a few day span. HTH. John

I noticed this on my LR when I first got it when I setup my nano. It hasn't done much growing until the last few weeks when it exploded into what you see in the picture. It's very firm to touch so I believe it's some type of calcerous algae. My questions are what is it and is it bad...

1.025 @ 78 deg. I use a Pinpoint Salinity monitor.

Thanks you for all the replies! At least there's a chance he's alive and doing his own thing. Thanks again all, you have eased my mind. Now all I have to do is wait. John

Hi everyone, Last week I bought a dottyback & now it's gone MIA. It was eating the first 2 days and has been gone since Monday. I checked the floor and anywhere else it could have jumped to but haven't found a body. The water parameters have remained normal so I don't think it's in there...

Mine does that too... It didn't have any adverse affect on my tank...

Most definitely baster for me as well

Here's my 10 Gal. Nano
