+1 FWIW, a swing of 8.0 - 8.16 is highly negligible, and certainly far less harmful than anything you might be planning to "correct" it. :D
Agreed. Water changes, vacuuming of rock and sand surfaces, and keeping filters clean and chemical media changed will provide long-term success....
Can't see your image (post indicates a broken link) but they're most likely a type of amphipod, or possibly shrimp fry.
Agree with the above replies. I use IO and it's crystal clear within just a few minutes. As stated, vinegar is used for carbon dosing, a method of...
^^^ Agreed 110% ^^^ "One-size-fits-all" concoctions are not a good solution.
Personally, I use straight tap. The tiny amount of minerals will be diluted into oblivion once you fill your tank, and any trace of nitrates,...
Congratulations, Ballgame. Very beautiful specimen. :thumbs_up1:
A really long time. :D
Looks great, Pastey. :thumbs_up1: Contrary to popular belief, leathers prefer strong current. My toadstool (and some others) would not open fully or...
There's a definite difference between "chasing" pH and keeping it in a safe range. With everything else in check, you're most likely correct with...

Agreed. :) FTR, with sufficient lighting and fish being fed in the same tank, nems don't require target feeding. Feeding too often or too much is...

I've only heard of a few rare cases of a pane blowing out due to flow, but that was with the older jet-stream powerheads, and where only one or two...
^^ :yelrotflmao: ^^ Adding a glass cover or full hood will help reduce evaporation. Just make sure it's not completely airtight as that may hamper...
Beautiful fish, Chum. :thumbs_up1: As for food, I prefer to offer a large variety. I feed my entire tank a blend of Ocean Nutrition Formula One and...
Tank looks great, Dan. :thumbs_up1: Rather fond of Rock Flower nems, myself. :)
Wow, great job! :thumbs_up1:
My thoughts exactly. :drool: :beer:
