Thanks @PizzaOven .. after talking to you and Will, I am still contemplating if I want to add that in the sump or use another chemical methods to reduce phosphates.. but thanks much for your help

My 1st frag swap couldn't have gone better.. Came with 3 frags, left with 7!! And a few freebies!! Raffle was a cherry on top! It was so good chatting with folks who have been doing this for so many years! Great job all volunteers, couldn't have been possible without y'all! Thank you!

time in the post says Time : TBD, but most likely 12:30 PM (registration starts at 11:30 AM) Just confirming if its still planned to begin at 12:30 as planned?

@popper not sure if this will help lower my phosphates, but if yes, can I please have some tomorrow? My phosphates are super high (0.6)

Yeah +1 to Thomas.. when I said compatibility chart, I actually meant to say the fish description, I loved how they had everything mentioned in the description from max size, to what size tank etc.. I kinda got used to reading it in the format they posted.

thanks @Turkeysammich I plan to send water for ICP test after this mess is cleared, that shall hopefully reveal whats going on in my tank water!

and with changed water chemistry, I see Diatoms! not terrible at the moment, but starting to be more and more visible to naked eye

I believe any printing store/fedex can help print them in any size you would like

My personal favorite for instance :D

Search https://stock.adobe.com/ and share with me whatever pic you like, I can download original, high definition image that should be good for any size prints

+1, I always visited their website for the compatibility chart.. hope someone somewhere took screenshots that they will host on cloud for everyone :D

thanks @under_water_ninja .. When I got into the hobby, HTA was the 1st shop I was told about.. I have since heard only good things about you and HTA.. I watched your video on acclimating new fish and followed the same steps when I got my clowns.. Wish I was closer to you guys (I am in San...

Quick update.. Added 40ml Prazipro yesterday in the evening.. removed skimmer cap, turned up wavemakers to run at 75% to increase aeration.. Water is still very cloudy after 12 hours.. tried to feed flakes, and no fish could dare to go up and were waiting for some flakes to settle down to the...

Yeah it may actually lower ph a little.. and I don’t see much impact on ph as expected coz it’s bicarbonate not carbonate.. ChatGPT also suggested Baking it to increase ph too, but I felt there maybe something I might mess up so just added Baking Soda for now without heating.. will look to add...

very interesting.. thanks for sharing.. sounds like for Red Sea salt, storing for longer time may actually reduce Calcium and Alkalinity.. And for other salts, doesnt really matter, since the swings arent that too much for at 2-3 weeks.. I use Instant Ocean Purple box, since I don't have a lot...

thanks @Kensington Reefer .. I mix salt a day before I use it, let it sit in barrell for mixing with a heater overnight and use it next morning.. is that sufficient or there is some extra benefit of doing it days before I need it?

and oh, Ed's team did add Kalkwasser initially when we saw it was too low, but that apparently didnt do much.. Looking into BRS soda ash too along with other options

yeah I added "Maybe low alk and ph are also the stressing factors? I will be adding some Baking soda to help increase alk to around 8-9 followed by adding Prazipro to the DT.. will keep the thread updated".. I did add Baking soda in very small quantity yesterday, will re-test today.. I know...

I shared this yesterday: Alk - 6.4 ph - 7.8 nitrates - 15 phosphates - 0.6 Salinity - 1.025 temp - 78 Ammonia, Nitrites - 0 Yeah I liked it better than Copper specially for the new fish, not necessarily for a sick fish in your DT, since in that case the entire tank likely is infested and needs...
