    Sorry to hear of your loss on those. they are hard from what I have heard to get to eat. beautiful though....10 nitrates wont mess much with the fish. did you put some sand in there for them?

    I am losing my sps frags and don't know why. So I go to a LFS and find out my salinity is at 1.018. All this time I thought my water was at 1.025ish. So now I had to get it recalibrated. But on a good note I purchased one of these.

    It set me back a grip but I had to fix one of my problems.

    I put the sand in there the day I read your post. They were living there also. I just hope my refractometer not being calibrated didn't play a role.

    It is an i-TECH skimmer. The LFS where I purchased it builds them. They have a contract with Tunze and they use their pumps inside of them.

    NICE gotta love a new toy. I dont know about the salinity for those fish, but they may be on the list of those that dont do well with Hypo.

    Can you guess these new addition. Hint, they're from Australia.
