Thanks. Now I can rest easy. I do have the same pc lighting as the lfs. I guess Ill give it a day or two to settle in and see what happens. Thanks again

new xenia I didnt know I had to acclimate it to the lighting. It was in a container and I just kept adding a little of the water from my tank into it for about 45 minutes or so.. I pulsated yesterday all aafternoon and evening.

Hi all. I bought a pulsating xenia yesterday. When I put it in the tank it was pulsating. today it isnt. It looks full and great but just is not pulsating. I have it in the middle of my tank so it can get plenty of light and there is low flow. Do I need to move it. or is it just...

Hi, my tank is 12 weeks old and i just got my first soft coral. A green star polyp. Do these eat phytoplankton? I havent found any article that says they do, but the fish store said to feed them that. Im wondering if they just tried to sell me something or if i do need to feed them.

Thanks for all the help. I havent tested my water for phosphate but my nitrates are good. I have 5 snails and 3 hermit crabs now With all your advice hopefully Ill be able to get things cleared up. Thanks again!!

Thanks for all the help with the nitrate problem. I cleaned out my filter today. I retested for nitrate and came up withe .10 so I didnt do another water change. Now my PH is at 7.8 and I know that is too low. Will this take care of itself or do I need to add something. It was at 8.4...

I originally used tap water in the tank but have done 2 water changes now using RO. I have a canister filter that I have not done anything with , meaning I havent cleaned it or anything since I first set up my tank. Could this be contributing to the nitrates?

I have 2 damsels and a coral banded shrimp. also some snails.. Im worried about the shrimp if the nitrates keep going up. How much of a water change do u think i need?
