    water change questions

    When I do my water changes I tend to over shoot my salinity at times becuase the instructions on the instant ocean bucket are not accurate. which is a pain becuase then I have to make RO/DI all over again and start from scratch.

    cvcdrk's 29g Mini Reef

    I have the same problem with my clown. I turn the moon lights on and hes swimming all over the place as soon as I turn the daylights on he goes to the back of the tank and swims on the top. I have also read that clowns like cooler waters 78 to 79 degrees.

    Red slime algae?

    I think its still part of our tank breaking in. I just recently had the same problem and it all went away by its self. If you are using RODI water for water changes, not overfeeding and your lighting is on point you should be good.

    Easier way to add new water to my tank

    currently I'm pouring the mixed water straight into the tank because I can'tmake a siphon. The tank is higher then my pail of water and Idon't have a submersible pump to pump water back into the tank. Wen I pour the water tend to sir up sand even if I'm being careful. Anyone have any ideas?
