    Distilled water and Alk level question...

    I was wondering if you can buy distilled water (my local grocer sells it by the gallon)to use in your tank. My RO/DI is not functioning properly and I really need to top off my tank...it would be just for now until I get the RO/DI up and running... Also, all of my levels are excellent except...

    Cinnamon Clown EMERGENCY...HELP

    Steve, That is the first time I have heard that I should mix the SW before I do a water change. I do use a RO/DI device, so is it still important to have it mix before doing your water change? Thanks Deb

    Let's Talk About ~Crabs~

    Did you see the Arrow Crab kill your sleeper gobie or did you just see him eating it? The only reason I ask is that my Arrow doesn't seem to bother anything and I have been told that alot of times we tend to "blame" crabs for things because we see them eating our fish but didn't actually see...

    Cinnamon Clown EMERGENCY...HELP

    Overly Frustrated...Salinity Level

    I had the LFS check my water to and they are getting the same reading so I am fairly certain it is accurate. I will work with the water changes and see if I can raise it that way...I have an RO/DI Device on the way and I am waiting for that to do my next water change. Also, we found a very a...

    Overly Frustrated...Salinity Level

    We have had him for 3 weeks and I just noticed the behavior about a week ago. I am watching him closely for other things but so far that is the only thing I have noticed. He is still somewhat shy and doesn't like it when I am near the tank except if he wants me to feed him...I will look at...

    Overly Frustrated...Salinity Level

    Okay...I have been slowly trying to increase the salinity level in my tank. Currently it is at 1.021! I have been dripping in a high concentrated level of salt water I mix up...however, so far I have not had any change in my levels. All my other levels are fine...I only do about a half gallon...

    This might seem like a quirky thread but I was just wondering if others out there named their fish and other inhabitants of their tanks. I look forward to hearing from you all. I am new to this hobby but I have always been an animal lover...so of course I have named my fish... Yellow Tank...
