    Shark week!

    haha nice, I'm a little mad because this year it seems like they are trying to make it look like sharks are bad. I heard a lot of the shows were asked to be taken off the air because they didn't want people to get the idea that sharks are evil. (Which sharks aren't evil!!!) I love sharks :) But...

    Oh I'm sorry i forgot that. I bought the Red sea PH and ALK kit. The vial? (that's the tube thing) I used my saltwater master liquid test kit, by aquarium Pharmaceutical inc. (the brand with the little doctor fish) I know i was looking at the card thinking it was going to be on the high side...

    Oh my gosh... i open the kit up to find it doesn't have a test tube... i used my other test tube hoping it's the same size. If it is then my alk is my alk is in the 1.7-2.8 range. It goes by milli equivalents per liter? It's what he recommend...

    Thanks Phyl, umm alk is short for alkalinity??? my test says total alkalinity(KM)-ppm 0,40,80,120,180 and 300 on the color chart. If this isn't alk what is it? i feel so dumb right now...

    My Xenia, paly and GSP ain't looking right.

    Thats what i thought i read the backs of all of them and nothing about raising alk. I also checked salt incase i messed up on a water change but it's good... So is this all happening because of the alk? Temp:74 salt: 1.023 I'm uploading a few snaps of the xeina and zoo.

    Thanks, Yes i didn't mean for it to be at 74 but i must of bumped it when i put it back in the tank. My test said ALK was around 300... what should i use to bring that down and would cheato and other macro help get the nitrate down? Thanks again! hopefully everything will be back up and healthy...
