Test Results 7/2/07:
- NO2 0.2
- NO3 2.5
- Alk High
- Ph 8.4
- Salinity 1.020/1.021
- Amonia <0.25
- Temp 79 degrees
I hope my Ammonia and Nitrites get to zero soon! Testing every day feels like overkill.
Does anyone know if I need to worry about my Alk being high? If so, how can I lower it? It remains high even after a 20 gal. water change.
My
clownfish finally ate something today. He kept getting so happy when I put food in the tank but then he'd get close and turn away. Today he ate a little bit of frozen mysis. I think I might try feeding just once a day. At least his fungus is all gone. Thank you PimaFix!
Feeding Schedule (Work in Progress):
- A.M. (M-W-F): 1/8 dissolved frozen mysis shrimp cube
- A.M. (T-Sa): 1 small flake crushed Prime Reef Flake
- A.M. (Su): 1 small flake crushed Brine Shrimp Plus Flake
- P.M. (Su): 2 X 2 piece Green Seaweed Selects
I've been reading up on lighting. I replaced my very, very old bulb with a new Reef Sun 50/50, 48", 32 watts, 6500K. What a huge difference it made. I also purchased LED blue moon lights. I can't see them at all so I must have installed them incorrectly. I will try to see how to properly install them on-line.
I bought some Stress Zyme and Stress Coat that I might use when I do my water change or add more livestock.
