Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
Some kits are in ppm, I was assuming that was a ppm reading which would equal 6 meq or 16.8 dkh. Saltwater4life, can you confirm that it's ppm?
I agree with you Phyl that they just look a little cranky. Probably just the temp.
No of those things should be raising your alk, might be your test kit.
Where do you live? Can you bring a sample to you LFS?
BTW how's the temp and how do they look?
Mix some water for a water change and see what your alk is for the new water. Use RO/DI that has been aerated for 24 and aerate the mixed water for 24 hours. If the fresh batch of salt water is in a more acceptable range for alk; bring your alk down with a couple of water changes and lay of the...
Have you been adding anything for a buffer? The Alk is way high. What do you dose/supplement?
Have you measured CA and MG as well?
Change anything else lately?
Nitrates ain't great either. I'd do a 20% water change as soon as you have some mixed, aerated and aged water and then do another in...

I think there is a middle ground between captive bred...
Hey Phil,
Although I keep mentioning LOTR, I've read The Hobbit at least 6 or 7 times as well. I liked the dwarven focus as well. I even managed to make it through The Silmarillion.
Hey John, you want to talk about religious undertones, The Silmarillion is Tolkien's book of Genesis. Tough...
Pictures??
Does it look like mucous or fungus? Mucous happens from time to time. It may close up for a few days and shed.
Does the flesh still seem firm?
Give it a quick blast with a turkey baster.
OK since I rudely hijacked the Potter thread in a desperate attempt to keep my imagination stimulated, I'm starting this thread with a really broad scope.
When it comes to books, my favorite all time fantasy reading was the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. In sci-fi I liked Dune up to the 4th book...
