I would suggest verifying the result with another meter or test kit before doing anything. It is easy to err with test kits, and meters go out of...
I would be concerned about the "tangs" you mentioned. A 72 is not very big for one tang let alone more than one.
For those of you dosing epsom salts, magnesium sulphate (sulfate for some of you) you may be interested in this piece by Craig Bingman. He provides...
Should have read ALL the posts before posting myself.
While Xenia has made me a heck of a lot of money selling to the LFS, it is still a weed in my tanks. I keep it on a rock that is high in my tanks...
FWIW, Most hobbyists around here keep their tanks in the 80F range, some a little higher some a little lower. All of my tanks, except the seahorse...
If your intent was to feed JUST the tank, and not fish, you would find it much easier to feed rotifers which multiply very rapidly and after the...
I've had my tanks now for almost 15 yrs and never removed even the very large bristle worms. I think they get a bad rap because they do their job so...
I've been raising brine shrimp for many years and never had any cysts, normal or decapped, that hatch out in a couple of hours. (I have eight 26g...
You can change over your rock or nuke your existing rock and start fresh. HOWEVER, it only takes one purchase, like a coral with skeleton, to...
FWIW, I too am no clam expert, but am sometimes concerned about people and the statements about amount of light needed. For years, I have kept my...
In my experience, the pictures show a definite dying and decay situation but if you dip in iodine as Tangster suggested, you may be able to salvage...
I too vote for water changes. If you test and find parameters varying more than you want, do smaller (1/2 g) changes 2 to 3 times a week. I would...
I forgot to suggest that when removing frozen food for thawing, and not using it all, why not shave off what you need and return the remainder to the...
Perhaps you missed the point as I don't always find the right way to explain things. For me, the point was that surface water movement was the...
FWIW, many years ago during a gas exchange thread on RC, I took exception to the statement that aerating the tank water didn't greatly affect gas...
Yes, frozen foods have phosphates in them, but so do flake foods, and, just about any food you can mention. By feeding flake foods, you are not...
Consider also that most successful seahorse keepers do so with cool water temperatures to try and quell the bacterial outbreaks that the horses are...
Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that one MUST use foods such as nori. I don't think it's that you CAN'T use other foods, but that it is BETTER to feed...
Non marine foods are not recommended for your fish. Frank Marini is one of many authors reporting that fish can't properly digest the non marine food...
