I know that this is simply a technicality, but I thought that it may be important to clarify. We are all suggesting a specific gravity, and not...
cryptocaryon irritans-Marine Ick "Crpyt" is a single cell protozoan. Very likely the powder brown that you have experienced a stressful event, and...
I keep my salinity at 1.025, do you use any phosphate absobtion media?
Follow-up I also realize that you could have a low ph with high alakalinity due to improper aeration, and/or using tightly fitted hoods can cause...
This is my understanding of PH, and I hope this will shed some light on some of the low PH issues that seem to be plaguing many of us- especially...
Welcome! Welcome!! :) I wish you the best of luck! Please remeber an ounce of prevention is WELL worth a pound of cure in this hobby. I have...
1.028 isn't all that bad. I would reduce the salinity by .001 a day (to around 1.025) , just siphon a small amount of tank water, and replace...
I almost forgot to address the snail problem. :) When dino's infiltrated my tank, my snails kept falling off of everything. I have chronically low...
I have been following this thread, and I would like to add my opinion. Your low ph problem is probably due to elevated indoor carbon dioxide levels....
No bubbles that I have noticed. The odd thing about this stuff is that a large majority of it dies (and dissappears) every night, only to come back...
LOL! I think cleaning up an oil spill would be easier than trying to get rid of this crap.:)
Alright, I've gotta try this contest. I am being plagued by this horrid algae. I believe that this may be some sort of dinflagellate plague.....
I wish you the best of luck! This stuff is terrible!!! :angry: Have you done any water changes since it started? Are you making any progress with...
I started a thread on here quite some time ago about this very exact situation. It only gets worse, mine had GREATLY intesified from a light dusting...
Anybody think that the "cloudiness" could be precipitation from low magnesium levels, causing the calcium to precipitate?
Hello all again, I have recieved my silicate test kit (Seachem), and it shows that my tank has less than 1 mg/L... Due to the lack of silicates, I...
What did the LFS's test the salinity with? Was it a regular hydrometer of a refractometer? I personally never like to go above 1.024 since higher...
Looks great!! I just built one myself about a month ago.
Hmmm.. I will test this idea. My past experiences with cyano (other tanks) have been that they do not disappear over night and reappear in the...
I agree with you on this point but why, all of the sudden, am I having algae issues?
