Every weekend I do a water change. So every week so time between Fri Night-Sunday it’s getting done. I take out 4-5 gallons and then add around 6 gallons of RODI water with no salt.

Using a refractometer. Right now before a water change my salinity is 1.031. Last week after my water change, it was around 1.028. I’ve never topped off my system in the year and 1/4 that it’s been running. Since I do weekly water changes, I would just add enough so it would get up to the right...

How much water would I need to add each day to avoid a change in my salinity for a 37 gallon tank.

I’ve have been trying to lower my salinity for a little over 2 months. For the first year of my tank, I used pre mixed salt water from my LFS. The salinity was way to high so I bought an Rodi machine to try and fix the salinity levels. I have only been putting RODI water in the tank which...

Ok I will do that. Is there anything I can do for the algae on the protein skimmer? Or should I just scrub it. I have scrubbed it before and was wondering if there was any type of snail that would get on top of it for me.

I am using RODI water. The algae in the first photo is only in the one spot on top on my rock. It’s actually right on top of a spot where I had a coral that died (I have a post on here from a year ago if you want to read about it). I was told by a lot of people that I could just keep the coral...

Disregard the second photo on there with all that rock. I have never seen that photo before and have no clue how it got there but this is the photo that should have been up there with the hair looking algae

I bought an AquaticLife Twist-In 4 Stage RODI Unit and it has been very inconsistent when using it for weekly water changes. I have had it for about 2 months and the TDS reading is different every week. Some weeks I will get 2-5 ppm and others I will get close to 60 ppm. Am I supposed to use the...

What additions should I make to my clean up crew to deal with it? My red leg hermits, blue leg hermits, nassarius snails don’t do anything to the algae.

Okay should I just leave the frag in there cause i don't want to kill the feather duster

It seems part of the coral is still alive or something. There is this thing that comes in and out of a tiny hole in the coral and I have no clue what it is.

Do you know what would have caused it to die.

a few months. 2-3

Got it in an assorted coral pack so I don't know the name. All I know is it does not look normal.

Also if one fish in the tank had it, does that mean all my other fish will end up with it. I know that it will be a pain if I have to get my watchman out to put him in a hospital tank.

My coral beauty has ich and I need a qt tank for him. I need help setting it up though. I was thinking a 20 gallon container from walmart would do the trick for the actual tank portion. I have a spare heater. I was going to tank one of my pumps from my display since i have two in there instead...

every fish (and cleaner shrimp) love the prime reef red flakes besides the CB. I'm probably going to try some sort of mysis shrimp next.

It ended up looking a lot better the day after I posted this. Two days later it was all gone. Not sure if my cleaner shrimp played a part or if the fish just fought it off on its own. I decided to treat the display tank with kick ich since i'm paranoid that some ich may still be in the tank even...

Tank has been up since March so I think it's cycled. All parameters are good besides salinity being a bit high. I'm not gonna be able to get a hospital tank set up until thursday at the earliest, so would it be an issue if I kept him in the display tank til then.

Hi guys, I got a coral beauty angel fish 3 days ago and he hasn't eaten. Today when I went to feed my fish I noticed it has ich. I don't know what to do since I don't have a QT tank to put it in.

Ocean County

yes. A hydrometer

how much should I mix though. I don't want to add to much where it will bring the salinity too low

I get pre mixed water from my lfs and the salinity is a bit high (.6). How can I lower it. Also I have a 37 gallon tank with 5 fish, cleaner shrimp, crabs, snails, and two hard corals.

I got in a assorted coral pack a few weeks ago and was never able to identify it. What should I feed it and how do i do it.
