I have marine buffer and supper buffer to keep the pH up around 8.3 - this still correct for a quarantine tank? And, I guess I need to get an Alk test kit. What should I aim for on alk? That's what the package says. I just did a reorder from Drs. Fosters & Smith. Thanks for the helpful advice.

In your experience, where are some of the better places to buy coral? I love my LFS, but their coral selection isn't very colorful. What about online sites? I think Liveaquaria has some of the best pictures and descriptions, but are their others with better shipping policies or different...

So, you're pretty sure it was ich then and not some other specs? I suppose it's just wishful thinking. I do not have a quarantine tank yet. I'm dreading it. My LFS (only saltwater and seem reputable) said that they quarantine and the people they get the fish from quarantine, so as long as I...

Hi. Last night I thought I saw ich spots all over my newest addition, a coral beauty, but this morning they were gone and she looks fine. I'm wondering now, is there something that I can add to the tank or their food that would help prevent an outbreak? Any ideas on what the flecks were...
