Ahhh but people aren't very intelligent. Or people just don't care. Have you ever seen that documentary called the "Queen of Versailles"? The kids got whatever they wanted...including some poor lizard that was not given any water or food and died of neglect. Those people were intelligent...

do a 50% wc....make sure the temp is stable now. then get ready to do another water change tomorrow. etc. until the situation is stable.

i was testing to see if people were watching over my shoulder...HAAHA I'll give you a case of honey in exchange for a small chiller...HAAHAH

A former co-worker of mine was a keeper too. He was selling his honey via farmers markets etc. Do you sell yours? Don't post here...pm me if you do since I'm sure buying/selling on open water is a no no. Also - do you believe the recent articles about millions of bees impacted by a new...

if the door was closed and there was no A/C - isn't it possible the corals bleached due to high temp? now that the condition is resolved (heat) the tank should recover (hopefully). I almost feel like you shouldn't adjust anything as long as the temp is stablizied.

i might try tossing one whole in...only because i do have a valentini puffer...

also another thought would be to bring a sample to the LFS and see if they will do you a favor and test the alk. Are you going to teh July meeting? maybe we could have someone bring their test kit there...i'm not sure if I can make it or not or I'd offer you my lamotte kit.

I hate those alk tests...the only one i like is my lamotte one...it's expensive as heck but once i dialed it in, i haven't had to test in a while. If you are doing biweekly wc and dosing 2 part - there is no way your ALk should be low. It's very puzzling.

yikes - i'm so bad dexterity wise that i'm sure i'd be at the ER if I tried this....LOL.

how are you able to hold those bees in your hand? i guess they realize you are not a threat?

All of these are just part of your crew and will readily eat fish food. There is no "trace" supplements needed for them.

what inverts do you have?

says to immerse the coral completely for 10 to 12 minutes.

amazing pic falconut - i had heard that linkias sometimes (or always?) prey on asterinas.

Reef tanks with any reading of ammonia is probably what is throwing your hammer/frogspawn out of whack. The fact that you are showing ammonia is a sign something is off. Definitely test that again (to be sure your test kit is right) and make sure that reads zero. Ammonia will lead to nitrite...

unless you are full bore sps reef, i don't think you really need the extra trace elements. You should be able to recover any trace elements via wc for probably most reef tanks out there. In particular elements like iodine cannot be tested properly and overdosing can be lethal. Just be wary...

wish you were closer up here matt! i'd love that lemonade$20/milli$15/stag$10...you travel up this way? if not i will have to yield and wish you best of luck on the sale!!!

ah it's not on the bottle itself, but the plastic sleeve that it is in. You probably threw that out not realizing. It's 30 drops per gallon is what it reads for dipping.

mine reads add 30 drops per gallon. Dip coral into mixture.

It should have the dip instructions on the bottle itself.
