    Honestly James, I don't know how well the Gramma is doing, this last few days it didn't want to eat much, I am keeping an eye on it. :|

    Thank you guys! Scooty, I'm actually running a single power adapter, since they are computer fans with 3 pin connectors, I just daisy-chained them all. I am using a variable voltage dc adapter so I can switch from 9v to 12v. We'll see how they do in terms of cooling the tank, right now I have...

    You probably read in my other post that my Sunburst died, man it's really hard to lose a fish that way, I knew it could happen but still didn't see it coming. Anyway the Gramma is doing much better, all the white spots went away and it's eating well so I'm hoping it will fully recover from the ich.

    Royal Gramma

    Is there a formula of how much baking soda I should add per gallon of freshwater?

    Royal Gramma

    Thanks you guys. Sadly the Sunburst was dead this morning but the Gramma seems to be hanging there. Salinity is already at 1015 so we'll see how it goes.

    Quick question, since I am lowering the salinity in the QT and I have to keep the ph steady, should I just add baking soda to the fresh water that I am using to dilute the water in the QT and match it to 8.2?
