unninair

Actually I was heating small batches of water from the tank and pouring back in to the tank....

Actually, If it is not too late, I would like to pull myself out of the order. I am getting out of the hobby..... unninair (Unni)

I am also one of the unlucky few that lost electricity this moning. Lost a 3 Inch Yellow Tang.... Was able to run an airpump on UPS's for the oxygen, but I guess the stress of the pumps goings on and off for about 10 minutes before shutting down completely, or low temps stressed him out.

Almost there...........

Mike, Good to hear from you... and WELCOME back. Unni

Byron, When do you start Auctioning off all the Hardware??? Unni

Looks like you have trained your fish to pose for the pictures :77: Very cool...

WOW - Great Tank - Great picture.... Unni

Patience is the name of the game..... I would suggest waiting for it to drop on its own.

Nick, If you are planning to set it back up eventually after the move - why start from scratch? I would add myself to the long list of people that would help you move your existing setup to your new house. Some of the other members may even have the setup and space to house your livestock temporarily (or permananently given half the chance <_< ). Best wishes Unni

Can you calibrate the Pinpoint pH Monitor with a 4.0 pH and a 10.0 pH solution rater than a 4.0/10.0 pH and a 7.0 pH as indicated on the unit? How accurate would the unit be around the 8.2 pH mark, once calibrated in this way. Merry Christmas and a Very Happy New Year to all @ WAMAS. Unni

Alex, Have you tried a different test kit for your nitrates - just to get a 2nd opinion. If you are still having nitrate spikes while performing a water change - I believe you should not add any more livestock or chemicals into you tank. Also check your water that you are adding for nitrates. Unni

Wish you and your Family a very Happy Holiday season.. Unni

His PC time is off.....waaaaaaay off

Excellent.... Now wait for some coralline coverage...

Baking Soda increases ALK and pH....... The pH will drop approx 0.2 points immediately following addition of baking soda to rise slowly over the next few hours.

If your pH is 8.2 why are you adding Baking Soda? I'd hold off adding anything until you see the pH drop (but then again - I'm no expert :D ). Unni

Stop feeding them "Rogain"

Also, change your light schedule so you can enjoy your tank when you get home <_<

John, Did you order my Oceanic? TIA Unni

Ask questions at www.seaslugforum.net They are very good at providing answers and suggestions Unni

Or you can try to sell them on EBAY as micro anemone :D that enhances the beauty of any aquarium. Unni

That could have happened while he tried to scrape the ICK off...

I have used Kick-ICK with very good success.... Try to find out what is stressing him out. The usual suspects are temperature, water parameters etc. HTH Unni

Welcome..... When you are ready for some softies, I can offer Green Star Polyps, Capnella (***), Leather Coral and Anthelia (***)... The ones marked with (***) are fast growers and some consider them weeds :D Unni
