OK I have been leaving my water set and it still reads 8.7 in the bucket. I NEVER had this happen before could it be this bucket of salt mix? Im worried because if i do water changes with this and my water is 8.7 without lights on then what is it going to be when my lights are on. probably...

how do i load pics

I bought some purigen to use in my XP3 and i was wondering if it is ok to use womans stockings as a bag to put it in. I tried a regular bag but the holes are to big and the purigen made a mess on my floor.

what do you use for your storage container. I tried a garbabe can but was getting residual off the can.

I have not been letting the water set before adding it so it may be that. I have a refugium on the tank that has the lights on 24/7 think it is that?

what is making this to go up tho. about a month ago my tank was staying a constant 8.3 - 8.4. Could it be this bucket of salt mix? I have been doing 5 gallon water changes everyday for my QT that i am currently medicating. Could it be the frequent water changes? Here are my water...

My leather has not come out yet and is shedding. is it normal for it to get white spots around the top of its crown (not scinetific name haha) and on its stalk.

My zoos are doing great thanks everyone. My leather has not come out yet and has stayed in since i got it. Is this just acclimating.

When i turn off my lights at night my ph reads 8.6 but before they go on it reads 8.3 Is 8.6 to high?

Hi everyone i have a new coral i want to add to my tank how do you acclimate them? Does everyone make an iodine dip and if so how do you do that?

I have not used copper and dont plan too. I am right now using paraguard daily with a 5 gallon water change between doses. i think i may give this a try because my fish is looking a little better. I have heard mixed feelings about this stuff. he is in a 35 gallon QT

I have just bought a fish from the LFS and it is in my QT which it now has ich. I was treating with Paraguard but want to try Hypo. If i add copper how long do i have to wait till the meds are removed to begin Hyposalinity, or can i run carbon during hypo.

yup

Has anyone used this to treat ick. It says that you can use it directly in the water (not feeding).
