I have (2) 5.5 oz Prime Reef Flakes fish food. one has been open for over a year, and the other one is still sealed. The expiration date is 01/2013. i hate to throw them away. are they really expired?

i believe that is a good thing. most people would want theirs to split. at least i do. what did you do to make it split? i want mine to split into two.

i have a 90 gallon, and the florida condi first walked around a little bit, until it found its spot. now it doesnt move, and my smaller maroon clown just began going in it yesterday, but it took a VERY long time, and as mentioned, they normally dont host, but there's always hope. and they will...

DT's????

so when do i know when to add the buffer solution? based on the dKH? or the pH?
