 Re: Will my rock die???
I can't find a magnesium test kit anywhere. Everybody tells me not to worry about it. Got a caclium test kit though, my Cal. is at about 480-495. Is that good???
New problems though:
1) added a peppermint shrimp last night. It's already dead. It appears that something ate it's insides. :'(
2) got 6 asterea snails and 4 more black turbos. something ate 3 of the astereas and 1 of the black turbos. (hermit crab I think)
3) found a dead hermit crab, out of it's shell
4) Ph was down to 7.8 again. and Alkalinity was at 3.0
There was no trace of ammonia... Any ideas on why the shrimp died??? Could it be because I was adding so much iodine before that it has not worn off yet? I plan on taking it back to the LFS with some water to be tested... Any other suggestions? How can I get the hermits to stop eating my snails??? _________ 65 gallon reef tank. 20 gallon homemade refugium. homemade hood w/ 2x250 MH lights. 150 lbs live rock, 40 lbs live sand.
