Hi all,
Today was, for our discus, a good day. They were moved out of the cramped 35 hex and into what was my planted, (nolonger,) 110 gal tank. The move took 14 hours and the returning of 3 servums, (too large for the 35,) to the LFS. The discus seem very happy and are adjusting well.
Bad day also. I did a 2 gal water change in my nano reef tank, 7 gal, and since I know next to nothing about reef tanks I had my LFS test my water and he said I needed to add some marine buffer because my ph was to low. I followed directions and added 1/4 teaspoon of marine buffer after the WC and 10 minutes later all of my invertabrates, coral, 3 snails, 2 cleaner shrimp, and an anemome were dead. Since my SW LFS is different from my FW LFS I think it's time for a change. Time to learn everything I can about SW and replace a few hundred dollars worth of sealife. It won't ever happen to me again.
