in my opinion this belongs on another forum :fish: :fish: :fish: :fish: :fish: :fish: :fish: :fish:

you shoulden't add anything till you test the water :angry: "its benn up a day" ... you should cycle your tank before you add any corals or too many fish for that matter. if your not careful you could be setting youeself up for disaster. :crazy:

have you tested the water you are doing the changes with for high nitrates?

i went to my lfs to look for the salifer test kits but only found API there. Since they were cheap @ 6.99 a pice so i got them for the meantime......salifer tests will be on order for more percision. boy were the test strips off. the test strips said i had 80 ppm nitrate ( this is why i asked...

salifert it is then, thanx for the responses. what else should i test for besides, High Range pH, Ammonia, Nitrite, Nitrate, and alkalinity? these are all ive been testing for.

id check the amps the halides pull if its less than 8 amps ( it more than likely is) i would use an ice cube relay (power relay).

can anyone suggest some good testing kits. ive been using those multi test strips......how accurate they are i dont really know.

thanx for the replys ... i added just a bit of melafix about 1/4 of what it actually called for he is eating fine and never lost his appetite. it seems to be getting better.

well its acually even more complex than that .its actually my percula female and an ocellaris male and an ocellaris juvi that hasent grown @ all since i got him . the percula is 2 years old, the male ocellaris is 1 and a 1/2 and the little guys been with me for a year. so theve been in there...

recomendations for my blue reef chromis with popeye? had him for 4 months now and yesterday i saw his eye blow up bad. other tanl mates 3 perc clowns, 1 fire fish, 1 dimond goby, 1 yellow tang, i six line wrasse. havent added nothing in a long time ( about 3 monts) added a leather coral.

the question is Can one live in a 5.5 gallon tank i vote , yes... but not as its permanent home once it gets too big ist time to get the tank it really needs. clown fish in the wild seldom go more than 3 feet from there anemones. they dont need alot of room. i have a small 1" maroon clown...

this little ocurrance happens once every 1 or 2 months. always the same pattern and color (white) . the only thing that seems to change is location found and length of the squiggly substance the only place i have ever noticed it is on the glass. @ a close glance they are nothing but small white...
