Thank you for taking the time to explain all of that. I guess the death of my convict tang a couple years ago wasn’t bc of bullying. Just unfortunate death. Please don’t scold me, but I’ve never had a QT tank set up. [emoji31][emoji31]. I know. Playing with fire! But if I were to add a couple small yellow fangs and a convict, I’d pay someone to QT them for me. My dwarf lion (RIP) always kept my old tank in check. I e been trying to find a Fu Manchu, but no luck. Are you going to Ty’s? Been awhile since I’ve seen y’all Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Can we bring anything besides Tupperware [emoji23]. To help with the food/drinks? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Huh. I was always used the impression that gangs of the same body type couldn’t be together unless introduces at the same time. Not sure where I may have picked that up. I’ve always kept yellow tang and fox face. And of the 2 pair I’ve had of both, they always pair up. I’d love to have more tangs, too. My 3 squirrel fish are kinda mean tho. Even though al the reading I’ve done on them calls them a “peaceful fish”. HA! Not mine. Lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve always likes the convict tang, but my last one got killed. ☹️ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I just noticed that. Did you get permission from the copy write? U could have a lawsuit. Lol. And u do do water changes, I thght. 🧐 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have an lps/softie/zoa tank. Some things look fantastic and some look horrible. I don’t know if it’s water quality, or the lights. I’m running 3 radions and at their peak intensity is only 63%. But that could be too much or not enough. I’m renting a par meter today from rca to determine if I have them on too high or maybe not high enough. My nems Love high light, and they haven’t been fully open yet. But some of the shrooms are stretched like they aren’t getting enough. 🤷‍♀️. I’ll post back with my par meter readings Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have the 2-part solutions, but they aren’t hooked up to a doser. I manually added some calcium chloride yesterday. 100 ml over the course of the day. [emoji51]. Maybe too much too fast, but today the calcium is 360. I used 3 different tests yesterday to make sure the results were correct. Hanna, Red Sea, and API. All 3 were with in a couple hundredths of each other. They may be deemed as cheap and junk, but for simplicity bc I’m lazy, I’ll use api every so often. And double check with Red Sea or salifert. So far, all have been pretty close. Close enough anyways. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not as user friendly as say FB, but we have a pretty fun, close, respectful, and very helpful group. And also very welcoming. Just takes some getting used to. There is an app for your phone called Tapatalk that makes navigating a bit easier. I don’t like the computer version either, but I suck on computers. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]. Have any pix of your tank?? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Howdy! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I checked with 3 different tests and my calcium is 320 range. According to the BRS calculator, to raise it to 400 (not even 420), I need 88 oz/11 cups of the 2 part solution! [emoji15][emoji15][emoji15][emoji15][emoji15]. What should I do. Tomorrow is Water change day, but I don’t know if even a large one could fix the calcium. I also know I can’t (?) dump 11 cups of cal 2-part into the tank. The alk is 11. Also checked with 3 different tests. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So, my diatoms are seriously less than they were. I got 30 turbo snails and 20 cerith to try to help clean up all the junk. It’s helping tremendously. I got a conch for the sand bed. Just love those things. They’re very efficient. I still don’t totally understand the radions so I’m renting a par meter tomorrow to see if I have them on too high or not high enough. My zoas aren’t real happy, but everything else seems to be. I added a second DI resin filter to my RODI and am happy, embarrassed, excited to say this is the first time ever I’ve had zero TDS. LOL. I tested my water today and all checked out good except calcium. It’s 320. [emoji37]. I used Hanna, Red Sea, and API. All were with in a couple hundredths of each other on all parameters. I’m not building a watch here, so I’m gonna stick with api for awhile bc I’m lazy when it comes to testing and they’re easy. I’m also happy to report to Ty, that when I added the po4 reactant to my sample it didn’t turn blue!!!!!!! [emoji122][emoji122][emoji122]. My po4 was .22. Also lowest it’s ever been. Lol. Will bring it down a bit more, but excited about that. I’m going to begin kalk in my ATO when it arrives from BRS. That’s the best route for me. I have the 2-part and dosers, but think I’d like the simplicity of the kalk better. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This time you got twins that are already helping with the bills. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]🤣🤣 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[emoji33]. Good grief! I know how big your frag tank is, too! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

🤮🤢🤮🤢. I have to open my back door and spray febreeze when I clean my skimmer. I’m not even sure I could do that for a lemon drop nem! [emoji31][emoji31][emoji31] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Maybe I’ve never noticed, but I can recall only females. Maybe I need some. Rory has some really pretty ones too Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Maybe a carpool? If enough ppl are interested, we could pitch in and split a van/gas Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
