I wondered if maybe I had these:http://www.fishbase.org/summary/6066

Especially since they seemed to eat everything.

I've had cleaners kill my fairy wrasses. My money is on him.

BTH, I don't think you're supposed to use the pads in the gfo. The instructions with mine recommended against it.

I have an ornate leopard and a black leopard for about 1 year and contrary to what is on live aquaria, have found them to be the easiest wrasses for me to keep.

I have a couple of leopards and they eventually started waking up with the rest of the tank. They also eat frozen but won't eat flake - although one eats nori sheets.

Great guy and very helpful. RIP

I'm so jealous! Best of luck!

Our order is scheduled to be delivered on Monday. It's currently touring texas (Dallas yesterday, Houston today). UPS usually doesn't arrive until after 4, but I'll be around most of the day Tuesday (and most weekdays) if anyone needs to pick up during the day.

Thanks for the responses. I rechecked today and KH is down to 8.6 (it was at 7 on 11/19 so I used BRS sodium bicarbonate to raise it to 9.8 on 11/22). Magnesium is at 1440 (up from 1440 on 11/19 - testing user error?) and CA is down to 540 (from 555 on 11/19). I did a 20 gallon water change on 11/18 (it's a 100 gallon tank), but I usually change about 10 gallons weekly (I have an oversized skimmer and about 160 lbs live rock (thinking of taking some out at some point). I've had problems with alkalinity going down/being low, so about 2-3 months ago I dosed magnesium and started using 1/2 teaspoon of Kalk per gallon of water in the ATO. CA and KH were still going down so I started adding vinegar to the kalk and increased to 1 teaspoon/gallon. That's about when I started noticing the increased ph. Other than that, I dosed the sodium bicarbonate when the kh was below 8 and calcium chloride when the CA was under 400 (haven't done this in over 2 months). I stopped dosing kalk since last week. I'll start water changes and hope that helps. Again, thanks to everyone for their time.

BTW, the RBTA seems to be growing back its tentacles, so fingers crossed!

My understanding is that the guys computer crashed and that he lost some of his contacts. You might want to reach out and make sure he has your info.

Thanks, Timfish. The link wouldn't open, but I assume it's the same article that is in reef central. That's where I got the idea of using vinegar and carbonated water to lower it. Unfortunately, it goes right up. I'm thinking it's probably the probe, so hopefully my calibration fluid comes in soon. I have the old packages from when I calibrated a month ago - should I wait on new fluid or test with the old fluid in the meantime? When I started using the probe (month ago) it was around 8 and started creeping up from there.

Thanks for the offer, I ordered some calibration fluid and will hopefully have it by end of week.

I'm not getting any precipitate, and I stopped dosing about a week ago (started refilling the ATO with R/o) so I'm not sure why it's so high. I'm testing with Red Sea.

My ph keeps going up (currently at 8.57), it even goes up at night. I was dosing kalk but stopped because of it. I've tried lowering it with carbonated water. It goes down, but comes back up after a few hours. Using a lab grade ph probe on my apex to measure. Calibrated it less than a month ago. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? Only thing I've noticed is that the tentacles on my RBTA are shriveling up and falling (it basically doesn't have any). My other RBTA is fine. The RBTA didn't start losing tentacles until after a week of the ph increases. KH about 9.3, Magnesium at1400 and CA at 555.

Order placed. Thanks everyone.

I've heard from almost everyone, and given that most people want the hc gfo, I'd like to place the order by 11pm tonight. If I do that, does anybody know if we can add to it in the morning? I'd hate to leave anyone out, but don't want the people ordering hc gfo to miss out.

Hopefully tomorrow morning. The high capacity GFO is. "Limited quantities" so the earlier the better. I have enough for free shipping but holding off on ordering to give people that expressed an interest to get their order in or let me know that they're going to pass.

Still open. Waiting for people to send orders/money

I can put it in as soon as I get fighting hippos order. We're at free shipping, so please pm your order and I'll send you my PayPal address if you don't already have it. Would like to do this ASAP before things go out of stock.

how much? and high capacity or regular?

BRS has a good sale going on. I'm at $100, so wondered if anyone was interested in joining to get to free shipping at $175. Thanks.

Karma was not very nice to me....and I'm such a great guy! Glad things worked out for you. And thanks to Tim and Sam for getting this together.

So after opening the package labeled B552, it doesn't look like the WYSIWYG ...I'll have to reach out to Will on this one...but maybe someone else has B552?

Hey, FloridaBoy, I have B552; however I think I had already ordered prior to your order. If you look at the first post, it's under my name and not in yours. Hopefully you weren't charged for it. Also, I'm missing the "orange freckled rhodatis"....didn't anyone end up with it?

It was set at 8 instead of 6 -but the time was correct. I have now changed it to 6. Hopefully that solves the issue. Once again, thanks! I searched on the webs and didn't find anything, so apparently I'm the only one that couldn't figure this out....
