My halloweens love eating the hair algae off the snails. They then leave them alone

Oh right cool thanks ill see if I can find some

I have a refractometer. I suspect it needs calibrating, given the erroneous results.

I'll do that. Lfs suggested 30% change every few days.

They had kh at 7.7 and salinity down to 1.016. I've got some new saltwater and I'm going to do a change. All other results were as I found.

I'm off to my lfs to get them to test my water too. I'll see what they say about ur method

No I don't have a sump. Just my 58l nano boyu

Thought of what I typed once it sent. I'll keep doing that today. Salinity still 1.020 but no room to top up yet. All other levels apart from ph and salinity seem stable now after the change the other day

Fab thanks. And open the lid of the tank?

Yeah the water is out of whack. Ph is 7.8 I rechecked it. Gonna recheck all of them this morning. I use the red sea test kit.

I've not got any room to top up yet. But thank you ill do that because I don't want to create more stress. Why would my royal gramma be hiding?

What do I put in it to bump up the ph? I'm gonna siphon a little bit out today and add the last of my saltwater before I get some more today and will do a bigger change this weekend. My feather dusters have been a new addition, they were out initially but I assume theyre setting their tubes

Yeah its properly up the spout. Got a bit of saltwater left from the water change other day. I'll get some more tomorrow maybe

Well, its alive. Just about. I have rechecked my pH twice. It is now 7.8 after a water change weirdly. But the royal gramma is stressed about something because it is hiding. I don't think it will live long. I have not seen it eat lately

I think its probably died. Having trouble with parameters lately but no cyano or algae blooms apart from hair algae on one snail. Ph is 7.6, kh is 1.1, no3 is 10, no2 is 0.05, nh3/nh4 is zero, salinity was 1.018 before change it is now only 1.020, po4 0.25. All these were before a water...

Hi, I have one in my 58litre nano tank. From the first instance it ate frozen brineshrimp quite happily. I would add some copepods into the tank though periodically just to top it up. I do it when the fish are sleeping so they don't munch them straight away.

I have come back from two days away and have been unable to find my royal gramma for longer than five minutes. Recently my firecracker goby died. My cleaner shrimp subsequently ate it and died soon after. I could not see any signs of disease or parasite. Do royal grammas hide from time to time...

Hi all, I have run out of RowaPhos that I bought when I got the tank. I was thinking of buying more RowaPhos and RowaCarbon but was wondering if there was anything more suitable or more effective. I am thinking of getting a better skimmer too than the one I currently use. It is the standard...

I know, my poor fish get so excited when I walk past the tank. Poor things! I thought 2.5ml of brinshrimp for a scooter blenny, spotted mandarin, firecracker goby, royal gramma, cleaner shrimp and a few soft corals was fine for daily feeding? Or is it too much? The royal gramma pinches loads if...

no i havent tested my di water. maybe i best do that as its bottled and the only thing i can see to contribute. i feed frozen brineshrimp at 2.5ml per day. ive spotted a dead snail today so i need to whip that outta there too
