If it keeps hiding in the dark try changing a part of your tank to create shade and place in there.I have had some demanding ones as the shop will tell and sell you anything 90% of the time as they dont know ether.

Our LFS gets redwoods marine imports and they are very good.Fish and corals are the best i have seen in a long time.The price is good to even with the extra freight charge for the long trip.Had some get stuck on the desert road once for 2 days in a snow storm The only thing that survived was 1 anenome.

Test kits are just a guide.If you want perfection by chemist shop and send a team in to do regular checks.Every time you do a check there will be someting differnt like 11mls not 10mls being tested.We are not perfect. As long as my tank stays around where it should be to maintain a happy home i dont STRESS as it nearly ruled my life and then there goes your wife.

NSW is the only way to go especialy if your tank is large.Get it on high tide at night so there are no boats around to interupt you and stir it up a bit.I have never had any problems in the last 9 years and if it had crap in it like diesel i am sure that the pretty looking rainbow patterns should not be to hard to spot.
