Rich's 85 gallon tank

[hackteck]

Yea they host all kinds of things they hosted an elegance coral of mine and killed it

How can I raise my alkalinity??

 

[Sarcothelia]

Alk doesn't really matter so long as its not incredibly high or low. Worry more about keeping pH between 7.8-8.3, calc around 400 ppm, magnesium around 1200 ppm, ammo nitrite 0 and nitrates under 20.

I don't even look at alk when I measure with those all in one strips.

 

[RICH305]

How does my ph look to you

 

[Greenmaster]

It looks like a dip stick... that's not a name people get called because they work well... I suggest you get a liquid test kit.

according to the strip it looks a little low.

 

[RICH305]

Are these guys to close to each other

 

[RICH305]

How many fish should I put in my 84 gallon tank?

 

[hackteck]

it depends on the size of the fish when its adult etc what type of fish do you have now and what type do you want

[Henry405]

I think most cardinal fishes dont swim very much. Mine stayed still most of the time and ate mostly mysis shrimp. Sadly it died of an unknown cause =(

Help please!!! Ok I have two clown fish that been in my tank for 6 months I was thinking of buying a Australian black and white clown fish do you guys think try will get along?

 

[carey]

I wouldnt add an extra set of clowns. I had a orange pair and b&w pair and after a few months all heck broke loose. I had to separate them or I would have lost one that day.

 

[kurtyboh]

it should get along as long as its not a different species, and still a juvenile.
