I have a new 29g biocube that I just added my cleaning crew too. My pH is reading 7.7. What range should the pH be and do I need to do anything with my pH?

Thanks,

Deanna

Hi, at soon as you make your salt mix you should have at least ph of 8.2. Your live rock and sand will act like a buffer. Try a water chnge, ( remember this is a remedy not the solution ) or use a buffer and start searching for your problem because unless you heavily stoked, this is not supose to hapen.

Hatching brine shrimp eggs is easy and fun. The best way I've done it is with this "base" thingey you can buy at some fish stores. It's basically just a 6" X 6" piece of rubber with a threaded area in the center that you can screw a 2-liter bottle into and an air-hose inlet on the side to attach to your air pump.

All you do is cut a 2-liter bottle in half and screw it into the base thingey, then attach your air pump. You can use table salt for hatching the eggs, it's much cheaper than using reef salt. Let the little buggers boil for a night or two and then take the whole thingey into a dark room and shine a flashlight into the side of the 2-liter bottle. The little buggers will all flock to the light and then you can extract them using a baster. Pour the salt water/little bugger mixture through a brine shrimp net so that you don't squirt the horrid water into your good tank, then let the buggers loose from the net into your tank (don't forget to turn off filtration).

Your fish and inverts will LOVE it. It's a real treat for them.

I realy apreciate thisi nformation, thanks

Hi, I will like to know how to hatch brine shrimp eggs.

Yep banana. I tried it once because I had a Moorish Idol and I heard they needed more potassium. He ignored it but my other fish loved it. Just make sure to mash it up into bite size pieces.

Thanks for the tip I will try it and I let you knok. my e-mail is [email protected] (just in case)

I think you just click "My Albums" then "New Album" to create an album. Then in your blog, you can reference a given album you have made. Just start clicking stuff until you get the desired result.

Thanks

Wow! You are in PR? How did you find us? Hope that works. You might also try soaking the food in Selcon or some other food additive to make fish interested in food. I have also heard mushed up banana will work.

I always read articles from every body in the internet, I learnd wath I know by reading this articles and a local store (Miguel Valle). This man knows this buisnes and a consider him my mentor. but not always he can solve our problems because of de delivery issue. for example live brine shrimp. did you realy said banana.

I am trying to make a album in my blog but I can't

I would try live brine mixed in with the food you are feeding each day.

Here in Puerto Rico is not easy to find live food but I will do my best to find it. Thankyou for your time.

Was he eating when you first got him and has stopped or never eaten from day one?

This fish was eating brine shrimp in the store, but never in my tank, no fish is messing with him and he acts normal, looking in the rocks and all taht but never eating.

Need more info. Is it a new fish? How long? What are you feeding? What is ok parameters? More info. may help.

Well, it is a new fish from 6 days a go. I have 0 ammonia, ph 8.3, 0 nitrate, 0 nitrte, 425 calcium, 11 dkh. I feed my fishs with frozen food like Misis shrimp, Braine shrimp, Plankton, Emerald Entree, Marine Cusine, Cyclopeez and I do it a diferent one every day.

Hi, i have a canary blenny (this is my second one) refusing to eat, all parameters are ok, please let me know what can I do
