I am trying to boost my Ca to 400+, but every time I change water the Ca only goes up to 330 plus. Now I found out the new batch of sea water mixed from Instant Ocean salt I've been using only produced Ca 350, Ph 8.2, Alk 3.7 from my Salifert test kits. Here is the question: Has anyone...

Hi Anemone, I sent you email. -Cliff

Same thing happened to my mushrooms last week after I dosed TwoLittleFish 2part calcium. My mushrooms disintegrated starting from the bottom ones then progressed to the top ones within 24-48 hours. All other corals were fine. I had some 15 mushrooms that disintegrated. I noticed before when I...

I bought a pair cute little flounders each only 1 ¾ inches long. The only problem is that they were kept in fresh water tank when I bought them. I would like to transition them back to the saltwater tank. Does anyone have any experience with getting them back to live in saltwater? And are they...

I got conflicting opinions from different sources regarding the usefulness of the Bakpak surface skimmer/prefilter. Does anyone own one and can provide first hand experience on this? Thanks.
