New Red Sea 350 & Taking the Plunge into Corals Thanks Corallbandit! I going to look into the Mars Aqua lighting and just to clear something up - the parameters are for my 29g tank that my Puffer is in.. My 55g where the corals will eventually be going are ideal.. Anyone heard of Philizone...

Hi Bribo12..I’m using an API test kit.. I’ll pick up an alkaline test kit tomorrow.. thanks

New Red Sea 350 & Taking the Plunge into Corals So I have been a saltwater enthusiast for a little over a year and I am ready to start working with corals. I currently have a 55g with LR, LS, 2 Firefish gobies, 1 Coral Banded Shrimp, astrea snails and 2 hermit crabs. I am strongly...

What is your salinity level?

What are the actual numbers of your water parameters? Did you condition your well water before introducing? How are you acclimating? How did you cycle? Maybe try another LFS, how do the aquatics look, are they reputable, how long did you watch them at the store before buying?

Thank you so much for this feedback. I’m keeping a peaceful tank, are there any peaceful fish I could get for it - I believe most angels are semi-aggressive and the 2 that I found that were peaceful were also extremely expensive... I’m looking into getting blue reef kardinals and clownfish but...

I have nothing in my tank that looks like this.. is it good or bad? Should I remove it?

It was... funny thing he was so lively in the 15g QT, eating prepared doses of brine & mysis shrimp along with krill, cleaning my (gloved) hands when I went in, swimming all around the tank. They all looked good, eating and actively swimming which is why I moved them over to the DT. Now the 2...

I moved my cleaner wrasse to my 55g DT last week and he was doing fine. Now he won’t eat and stays in the rock all day and night unless I coax him out, then he only swims around a bit and goes back inside. No visible sores or discoloration.. My parameters are as follows: 55g Ammonia - 0...

I recently set up another saltwater tank so for now I put one of my powerheads from my 55g in it, leaving me with 1 powerhead in my 55g. I positioned the 1 powerhead right in the middle so it is aimed toward the front of the tank, turned up to create ripples on the surface thereby causing...

So Update: The 2 Firefish are getting along great, they sleep together, eat together and swim around together. I transferred them to the DT last night and after hiding in separate spaces til comfy they found each other again. Now the 2 firefish & the cleaner wrasse are sleeping together in the...

Good to know! Thanks a lot - I can relax now lol I was going over and inspecting ever too often lol

Problem solved!

I did some research and discovered that I can turn the open/close valves to control the flow of water.... ??

I think it’s overkill on my tank though because the exhaust water flow is so strong with the directional flow extension the water thrashing is very loud and if i use the spray extension there are waaay too many bubbles - I can’t even see my fish.... maybe I can insert a piece of plastic inside...
