So how did it go?

Sorry for the wait, but you may be going down the wrong path. Africans like high ph, hardness and alkalinity. If your hardness is at 100-150 that is to low. I keep them at 240 +, and they do great with fantastic colors. Water pillow is not needed.

That's a tough one, it might work. But you would want to acclimate him slowly. Maybe over a two month period. Also I dont know if it would even be reef safe.

What fish do you have, and what is your hardness at?

I would agree with what they said.

So if I were you this is what I would do. Take out 55 gallons of water from your 150. Take all the water( if the gravel matches add it to) from the 55. Add that to you 150, with your fish( stir up the water in your 55, so that it looks dirty use that water). All the muck and gunk, contains...

O.k what fish are you putting in and what size?

Have you tested the water in the 150?

So how long has it been since you took water from your 55?

That is a beauty, how long have you had it.

Micro vert is a liquid food for s/w corals and filter feeders( again I'm not 100% sure) but you should add aquarium salt. 1 tbs. Per 10 gallons. You also have and eel in your tank? I'm I right that it is a 10 gallon tank?

How many fish do you have in the 55? Are you moving the fish to the 150?

So you took some water from your establish tank, and put it into your 150. But there is no fish in the tank right? Are you going to keep the 55 up?

Sorry, new to the site. How long have you had him.

Also try a micro vert food.

Also try micro vert

I'm not 100% sure, but I do believe you have a brackish water fish. Also I think it is a filter feeder( I could be wrong ) but you may need to add salt to your tank. Feeding may be frozen foods, such as brine shrimp, plakton, mosiqutio larva and blood worms. If you can get it to eat, you will...

Sorry, for your loss. You might want to look into a quartine tank, If you are into the hobby. Even if you trust your retailer, a 30-40gallon quartine tank is worth it.

Thanks for the welcome e-mail. How do I update my profile. All I can do is change my pic. Yes I know phosphate grows algea and cynobacteria. What is the best way to get rid of it. A phosphate sponge, or something else? Thanks for the welcome, look forward to being part of the gang.

Also if you do a 50-75 gal, with brackish water. You could add scat's and mono,s with the sharks.

With the silver tips, they are a true brackish water fish. If you add salt to the tank, the colors will shine thur.

New to the site, want to start a talk about phosphate. What do you guy's know?

How are you cycling it? Fishless or fish?

Is tank still green?

Why are you softening the water?
