I don't have a sump :( so directly to the display tank & yes temp it on point

I do have a refractometer and the salinity is right on point . The water has been sitting / being mixed for two days now & I'm doing a 20% water change

Hi Guys (: I need to do a water change today and i have some new members to my tank family that are pretty sensitive to changes in water. I have two margarita snails and a cleaner wrass that i know are sensitive. Last water change, my water wasn't perfect and it killed my previous margarita...

Sorry about your tang :( it could have been due to stress . I would carefully monitor your other fish & water parameters if you have others because when you add live rock, your levels will spike. And If you don't have anymore fish, I'd wait about a month for the live rock to cure and then get...

What's your ammonia levels ? If they're high, her gills will burn and it will make her breathe heavy . If your ammonia is okay, does she look like she has any slime on her ? Or white dots ?

Oh and I checked my water parameters - ammonia 0 , nitrite 0 , PH 7.8 , nitrate 10 , temp 75

I have a 40 gal breeder with just two Ocellaris clowns in it and one of them is defiantly sick . I believe it has broklynella parasites. She has a white slime all over her body and she's rapidly breathing , staying in one spot and today was the first day she stopped eating. :( she's losing her...

It blows around with the current & it just started growing on my love rock . I haven't tried touching it

It's the brown stuff with the white things coming out of it

This is growing on my live rock and I have no idea what it is . Please help me identify it

Thank you so much. I won't get a PH buffer . I normally test my water parameters around 1:00pm and no I don't have a sump :( I wish I did. And thanks for the information on the CUC I still do want some inverts though but I will add them when there's food for them.

Okay thank you!

So, i tested my water perimeters today and my PH was 7.8 and im trying to go for 8.0-8.4 how do i get it up to that area? Also, my tank has just finished it's cycle and i just did my first water change last night; how long should i wait to get my CUC?:fish1: Thank you for your help (:

My nitrates were at 40 ppm so i did a 30% water change and i do know about mixing the water and letting it sit over night . I am going to start doing that i just need to go buy a large container for it. My water is starting to clear up a lot. The water change was needed. Thank you guys for your...

Hi guys; I'm about to do my first water change in a couple of hours.. i made my own salt water with natures ocean salt mix and i was wondering if i needed to actually heat the water thats going in my tank. i know you HAVE to do it when you have fish,corals,inverts but all i have is live rock and...
