Added a refractometer to equipment; Tested water and had a FIT!!!
The hydrometer I have been using reads 1.020 when the water is 1.025 with refractometer.
So I have been over salting the tanks for years!!!! @ 1.030
Had to do water adjustment to correct
O.K. I have always keep my Specific Gravity at 1.022 to 1.023.
Red Sea Salt Mix instructions says;
Add water and stir until the Specific Gravity reading is 1.023 at 23C (S.G should be lower at higher temperatures)
So why is everyone keeping their tanks at 1.025??????????????
I think it's the Melifix It might say reef safe, but I don't think Anemones like it<> I would do some water changes and don't feed it. And stop using that white spot stuff, Let it recover by its self with water changes.
How is the one I gave you.
The pics you have been waiting for:
I would have taken more care if I was going to put them up for his tank to be charged.
Still to much light in the photos, Cracker was telling me how to take better photos, I think we should get him on the job CRACKERrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
