    Arrow crab died & DSB

    About 3 months ago. My first change was the sump on top. About 2 months ago I change to current layout. Never had a problem on this setup and the previous setup. The nearest Marine Petshop is Jhb about 150km away. That is why I must do things slowly.

    Arrow crab died & DSB

    The tank is running for about 3 months but DSB only 3 weeks. After the water change : PH 8.3 Nitates 0 Nitrite 0 Phosphates 0 I changed the sg by diluting with ro water. SG now is 1.024 Unfortunatly, most of the test is via test stick. Better testing equipment is part of the setting up.
