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...

In my hang on fuge I used some live sand from my main tank, sprinkled a layer of crushed coral over it & threw some live rock rubble in there. The crused coral & rubble was for a pod sanctuary but the roots from the calupera grew through it all and when I harvest the calupera I pull up all the...

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 just got my sample today. I'll mix some up & post results over the weekend. John

Thanks Wit & Caja! I appreciate your help! John

Thanks Boomer. It definitely adds variety & somethin unique to the aquarium. Do you have any idea why it would have grown so quick all of a sudden? Excess nutrients in the water possibly? Could it be an indicator of chemistry being off? Thanks again for your help! 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

I do a 1 gal. change two or three times a week on my 10 Gal Nano. I also do a 3 - 4 gal. change monthly on my 20 gal FOWLR. John

When I moved a tank, I only took about 2/3 of the water, but then again it was only 45 gal. And I used empty water cooler bottles. They make moving water easy if you have access to them. HTH. John

Johnny, I could send you a Red Sea calcium test that I don't use. I bought a Salifert. The Red Sea seems to be about 25 ppm higher than the Salifert. PM me your address & I'll send it out tomorrow. John

Can the Ebay unit really produce 110 gal / day under normal water pressure? I am interested in it purchasing one as well. Thanks for the help! John

I use Kent for large water changes. But I also keep a 5 gal. "box" of Catalina Water Co. NSW for my bi or tri weekly changes in my 10 gal. nano. John
