  1. Anenone ate but spit it out...

    Yesterday I fed the anemone with a piece of shrimp. All seemed good, it gobbled it down slowly, was looking great after. Today it was looking good too, then 15 min ago I noticed it was all shtiveled up, deflated, and the shrimp piece was lying nearby...

    Doesn't seem like any tank mate pulled it out, for the piece is just sitting there and nobody is eating it, nobody is even touching it... not even the mithrax crabs...

Ph is constantly at 7.8-7.9 while the last alkalinity test is around 4.5-5 DKH. Will adding a dosing pump while dosing calcium, alkalinity and mag help bring up my ph to there proper levels.

  4. Skimmer Swabbie repaired again

    As I reported not to long ago, my Skimmer Swabbie's squeegee bracket broke. I received a new one in the mail on Saturday, but it didn't match what I've had all this time.
