Thanx - I will take a frag. Thanx for the offer. You are always a good friend.
Thanx - It is just my PH I want to get up there and Nitrates down a bit.
I got purigin in the tank.
I dont think it will take long straightening the parameters.
Im going to get some micro-overnight bacteria to help with the nitrates a bit.
Tobes -
Salt mix - Name: Red Sea coral reef salt.
It show PH on SG 1025 - Ph 8.20 - 8.30

In that case, I think the pH was measured inaccurately. Rather double check before you attempt to raise it. Meaning if it was right the whole time you might just make it worst by trying to correct it.
As far as I know, something seriously must go wrong or out of wack for the pH to drop from 8.2 to 7.3 - that is one hell of a frop. Arragonite and coral skeletons, etc will start to dissolve at a pH lower than 7. Most marine creatures won't even survive that pH, so do yourself a favour and double check it

If you click on the link it sometimes says "404 not found" or something like that. Just close and click it again until it opens - maybe some hectic traffic or broken server

Thanx - Will doulbe test once I get a change.
Maybe Elite tester is out.
Thanx for the info
Hi All,
I tested my water this week-end.
PH 8.50
ALKILINITY 13
NITRATE - BETWEEN 5 -10 MG/L
Calcium - between 450 - 500
SG 1.026.
I bought a small maroon clown with some nice pattern work.
I am letting the skimmer start working and will let it run for 3 day then I ' am going to go and collect my maroon clown and add it in. I will send pics once I added him in.
If 459b polybs is ready then I will added it also this week.
I dont want to load to fast bioload to water so that the Amoniac wont spike.
In a month time I will and my second fish and a shrimp.
Cant wait to collect the clown on wendsday.

I am collecting my maroon clown at 17h30 and I will send a pic once clown is in the tank.
Cant wait.
My wife is calling it "MOEGGOE"

congrats with moegoe!
Thanx Mandarinman.
He stayed last night at the back of the tank under the wave maker as he was nervous with his new home.
This morning he was in the front bottom of the tank swimming in one spot against the flow.
I could not take a nice pick as it is still nervous so when he is feeling secure I will send better pics.
I also added some frogspawn last night. They are still sulking a bit and once they fully open I will post new pics.
let me know what afternoon you are going past the shop and i will drop a candycane off for you
Thanx man
Hopefully he does as he is still small and will get next month another friend for him (6 liner wrass).
Thanx friend. :yeahdude:
Im looking at Saturday to test water and get some RO water.
I will be there about 12h30.
will drop it off for you on sat morning
some of the heads didnt respond as well as the others to the new tank. but they are recovering nicely
HI ALL,
Time for an update.
Since my last update the clown died and the frogspawn died.
I think the bacteria were not good enough to support live.
Since then I added a Mollie to help that proces and after 3 weeks it died and i left the body in the tank for the bacteria to feed on and to do another mini cycle as you know when I fish dies then you get a spike.
After 3 weeks of cycle I added a blue Devil Damsel (eat like a pig) to help with the bacteria growth and tank to stay stable.
Damsel is going for it's forth week in the tank (YEAH).
My corals that 459b is looking after for me, I will add when I sell the damsel to add the fish in what I want. Damsel is making landscaping his job as there is sand all over and this might kill the corals. I want to add this week-end some snail and shrimps if I can get.
Below are some pics - (pictures is taken after I did a water change)

dont rush to put more livestock in tank because you will cause another ammonia spike resulting in deaths again. ps dont dose anything like prime into your tank at this time as it will mess up the cycle.
