Lost about 5 corals and one of our green anemone. I transferred the rest of the corals to the 12GL nano we got. that was already cycled and established. I bough it from someone who had it for a year with live rocks and sand. Went to Dolphin yesterday and got me a 5 gallon water. Put it on my...

Finished a 25% water change. Alk is at 12.5-13 but ammonia still going up. Calcium is at 450. My two anemones and mushroom looks swollen

just tested the water again, alkalinity is 13 still and amonia is still at 4. we are doing daily water changes and thinking of moving the corals to another tank. corals are not doing better at all and now the fish are all hiding. really dont know what to do. btw, thanks for dropping by mike

Yeah, even my wife said that all the people that we met who has a fish tank are really nice. They like to talk and tell stories. She said maybe because it does takes allot of patience have a tank. Anyways. I called Petco, Petsmart and Petfood express and none of them carries the Turbo Calcium.

I will ask Wil (modern reefkeeper) what kind of test it was

I live in cupertino. I thnk out of all my group of frineds and relatives we are the only one who has a fishtank. most of them have dogs. lol

Not sure. all i know is that he put 34 drops and it turned yellow. and he said 34x.5

The test was done by Will (who was so kind enough to drop by and test our water and look at our dying corals) so im not really sure but i believe it is dkh. The water change that we used today was natural saltwater (ocean water -20gal) as advised by many to help stabilize the water. Prior to...
