Thanks. Just wasn't sure because it looks blue

So I got about 2/3 of the way down my bucket of salt and could that there was a layer about 2 inches thick of solid salt. If I break this up will it be ok to use? It looks like it has a blue tinge to it.

Lost one on my gobys. Not sure what happened. Was fine the night before and the morning that it died. Went to do a water change in the afternoon and he was belly up. Checked ph ammonia and nitrite and all was good. Was looking forward to seeing the pair in the tank as well

Yeah it's a black one I have. It hasn't touched my acan, toadstool or monti. But he was on the zoa frag plug for about 2 hours then I noticed the polyps were gone. Looks like he might be getting returned

Really? That quickly? They were in the system for around 10 hours and they opened up after being in the tank for around 30mins and stayed open until the lights went out

I bought 2 zoa polyps to try them out yesterday. However I have woke up this morning and my long spined urchin was over them and now they are gone. Is this normal? Live Aquaria website says they are reef safe

Little update. Everything seems to be doing fine. I have been doing 35% water changes every other day and keeping a close eye on PH and ammonia. I also change the sponges on my filter daily and once I clean them I put them in my DT sump to gather BB. All fish are eating a variety of brine...

Looks like little filter feeders to me. Do they look like very small feather dusters?

Forgot to attach photo

Finally getting round to making a cover since one of the gobys managed to jump out the tank this morning. Luckily enough I was in the room when it did and he's back in the tank safe. He managed to get out the one tiny hole that isn't covered on the tank ?

A little tip I came across. I downloaded an app called AZ camera. When you use it you can turn up the white balance and it stops the pictures looking so blue

Nothing new happening with the DT at the Mo. Just hoping the 3 fish survive the QT/hypo period. Here are pics of some inhabitants [emoji4]

The water seems to be fine now. I have changed out more saltwater for fresh water so the salinity is down to 1.010 now and the countdown has begun. Here is a pic of them enjoying the masstick

Yeah I will need to check when I'm home. I have been doing large water changes every other day and getting no ammonia readings with my red sea kit. I was away for the weekend so put in ammo lock just to be safe but I changed about 40% of the water when I came back and it was less than 48hrs...

I will do another one tonight but I done a 30-35% water change last night. How much do u recommend changing tonight?

Yeah the temp is fine and I have my sponge filter, powerhead and internal filter so I think the aeration should be good. I just checked and they are still alive this morning so hopefully they are ok. My water is looking slightly cloudy though. Not sure ifbitbis the water or just the glass. I...

Dont know if im panicig for nothing but i have done a water change and dropped my salinity to 1.011 from 1.014 tonight (over a few hours) I have been monitoring PH which has been 7.8-7.9. I was going to lower my salinity to 1.010 tonight but my fish have started acting strange. They just seem...

Yeah I've used egg crate to make a lid. I figured the more c02 exchange the better. I still haven't got my salinity down. I'm away for the night but back tomorrow. I put in ammo lock since I can't do a water change today

Quick question. Am I better having my tank lid open? It does have a small flap that I keep open and there is a gap at the back for air to get in. I have just kept the lid closed because of the gobys but I'm sure I could make a lid of some sort with egg crate if it would be better to stabilise my...

So I have set up my ATO and have been lowering the salt level. However I've noticed my refractometer only goes down to 1.015. I have put in ro/di water and rather than setting it to 0 I have set it to 1.015. This means I should be aiming for 1.024 to give me an actual reading of 1.009

Ok. I thought my internal filter that I am running carbon in would be enough. Thanks sniperhank

Yeah that's why I'm going to do the hypo. I'm pretty sure I don't have ich in my DT at the moment so I don't want to put it in now. My ATO comes tomorrow so I will get that set up and start the treatment. I have a dual sponge filter and an internal filter so hopefully i will have enough...

Here is a pic of the tang. You can see the ich on his fin

Yeah thanks I have read that post. I'm hoping the PH will be alright. I just want to know the best method for raising it so I can be prepared. I will see if I can get baking soda. My new ATO should be here on Wednesday so I have started lowering my SG now. The tang actually looks fine now. No...

If my PH does drop would adding freshly mixed saltwater to the same SG raise it?
