Calcium Through the Roof!

I am using a plastic hydrometer...
but I do test and retest for "better" accuracy...
Tank reads at 1.023
water changes at 1.025...
trying to get salinity at 1.025

 

OK-- I will buy regular salt without any additives...
Can I wait two weeks though to do a 15 gallon water change?
Anemone and fish aren't in any immediate danger, right?

 

I just re-read the earlier post about your sg already no it shouldn't hurt anything just don't add anything except top off water.

 

might want to getcha one of these too while you are at it more reliable than a hydrometer.

NEW! Salinity Refractometer 4 Aquarium Pond Hydrometer - eBay (item 220256124302 end time Jul-21-08 01:22:17 PDT) for $31.50 it's SO worth the $$ and it isn't a lot of money either

 

Great suggestion...
I just spent 120.00 on the carpet anemone... so perhaps next month.
Thanks for all of your feedback!

take it back to where you got it and get the stuff you need your clowns will be fine without and anemone

 

Right...
those clowns are in absolute heaven...
Just watching the hosting was worth every penny... ;-)

 

I see no mention of what you Mg is at?

 

I do not have a magnesium testing kit as of yet...
was working off the two test kits API reef masters and saltwater aquarium
Neither included that test

 

I have those kits too, but realize that you have to buy the Mag test kit seperately. I chose Red Sea.
