  1. FYI to all people skeptical about online retailers and their guarantees, I lost my recent Coral purchase from Live Aquaria to RTN, they offered help and suggestions when it happened, and issued the credit immediatly. My Achilles still hasn't accepted any food but is still alive, they extended his warranty by 2 additional weeks!

      Online credit is only good if you don't have to make a min purcase in order to replace what died. After spending $300 to get a $25 fish that lived, I now only buy fish that I can see swimming, healty and eating. YMMV

      Hmm, there's no minimum purchase, only if you want free shipping. That's definitely the online hitch.

  2. Can you lower your pH without lowering your ALK?

      I washed it in Vinegar and calibrated it, now reading correctly. Says the tank is 7.97, so I expect that to be correct.

      I heard of someone hiring a company, and when they returned all their fish were gone, and the co claimed the one left killed them all!

      I can tell you one company not to use, pm me if you need the name.

      Just put a piece of shrimp on the end of a fishing line and if its gone in the morning, you know he's in the sump.

    3. Juiceman

      Juiceman

      Well, found him in the sump today! Patiently waited for the chance to net him. Put him back in the tank. I'm pretty sure he went back down the overflow within 30 seconds!

      ckyuv

      He did really good always eating frozen and nori. He stressed out when I added the fish from shutting down my 90. He stopped eating. Never wild eat the pellets. I still think that's the key.

      Awesome. Glad it worked out. Sorry I wasn't there to talk shop.

  23. My ORP is higher at night than during the day and I don't run a fuge. Is that normal?

    1. JamesL

      JamesL

      While I am not a chemist, pH changes with the lights off, which can effect ORP. A fuge helps to maintain a more constant pH in the tank.

    2. Juiceman

      Juiceman

      My ph has a small swing down at night, but my alk doser runs at night to keep it minimal. But I just noticed that the ORP goes up at night. I thought that was the opposite of what it's supposed to do.

    3. JamesL

      JamesL

      Like I said.. I am no chemist .. was just taking a stab :)

  24. Who in town has the best prices for garlic extreme, iodine, Zoe, etc?
