Thanks to the both of you :) I was actually interested in both API and Red Sea for test kits hahaha. Right now I have Tetra test strips, once I use those up I'll be going for liquid. Also, I'm going to be closing down my tank soon to get prepared/ready for a Sea Horse tank. Any ideas/advice...

I follow liveaquaria for my info, and only my pH seems to be low, which I've tried stabilizing with a buffer but it didn't seem to help I guess. I'll do another dose. I've already thought of doing liquid test kits but not really sure what brand is best. Any recommendations?

I don't know, cause with my test strips it tells that those are the right levels

And to clarify, my tank has been set for adding "life" to it for 6 months. I wasn't including the cycling phase :)

Sorry for the delay in response. Nitrates are 20 Nitrites are 0 Alk is 180 pH is 7.8 Ammonia is 0 Temp is 76.4 Salinity is 1.023 My RBTA is doing much better, has moved from its original spot. No besides another piece of tentacle falling off the day after my initial post! there hasn't been...

Sorry *Mebbid

My thoughts exactly Mebbib, every parameter was spot on except for pH was a bit lower so I buffed it. Salt levels were perfect of 1.022 and temp is in normal range

Tank is 6 months

Thanks :) checked params and pH was alittle low and there was a bit of salt build up on my light. Let's hope this helps

Hey all, just have a question about my RBTA. I noticed this morning that 2 of its tentacles detached, it seems like it's still functioning tho....strange?! Anyway, my anemone itself is in perfect condition and has been in my tank for 5 months. I also have a 4 spotted wrasse in my tank, but I...

Hey! I have a mpanga that I discovered was carrying approximately a little over a week ago. Unfortunately I've lost track of my days for her gestation and this is her first time (to my knowledge, busy tank lol) so I was wondering if there was anyone out there with experience in this. I can tell...

I thought about doing that, but wasn't sure if it would contaminate the other tank as well. Then I thought of putting the ones that don't appear to be affected at all in the bigger tank and leave the sick ones in the 10g. But I only just got the 29 on Thursday so I know it's not ready yet and I...

I hope not :( I really enjoy these fish. Thanks for all the advice, I'll be rearranging my tank now, and hope things will get better.

The mpanga seem content with staying on side of the tank and hiding in the pink planting. Also the other mix are doing great with staying together, but I will definitely try that out. Once I get out, I will be adding more hiding spots to the larger tank :)

If its unfortunate that none survive, any suggestion as to what I should put in the 29g?

Ya I agree, but 29 is all I could afford at the time when I knew I needed a bigger tank asap. But I don't think they're gonna survive a few more days of that tank. When I had only 12 my tank was thriving, no aggression.

Top pic is of my 10g, bottom is of 29g not quite decorated yet (6 neon tetra are helping to cycle, hopefully it's speedy)

Yes I know. I was told by my lfs (deals with strictly cichlids) that 14 was the max for my 10g. When I went to another pet/fish store they told me I was over stocked. The next day I went and got a 29g (which is now in the process of cycling) and I'm anxiously/impatiently waiting for it to be...

I'm not exactly sure of the water parameters, I only know its a 10g hahaha. I'm pretty new to this

Thank you for the advice :). While I waited for a response I treated the water with an aloe Vera stress coat, African cichlid conditioner, 1 tbsp of aq salt and changed the filter. However, after I did this 2 of my male mpanga (assuming both were male) started getting aggressive and the others...

This is the best pic I was able to get, they seem to be camera shy today

I have tried to research what is going on with my mpangas, but can't seem to find any information. It started with my smallest of 6, with it's mouth and upper back fin turning white and looking mangled. I ended up having to remove him from the tank because his condition was worse (yesterday...
