Thanks so much I have had freshwater for years. But this is my 1st try at salt!! After work I'll get a setup so I can let the water marry! I'm suprised that I havnt killed anything yet!!!!

Thanks for the info I'm going to raise the sp tonight once a day 2 gal at a time ( 50 gal total) until it's at 1.025 oh and I'm using a hydrometer. I think I might not be waiting long enough for the salt to stabilize in my prep container 5 gal. Before checking the sp I usualy wait 5 min is that...

Yes I havnt done anything yet and it went down.

I Also have a hammer coral, frogspawn, pearl coral, torch, pulsing Xenia, blood shrimp, lightfoot crab, sea egg, some gobies and blennies. All of which seam to be doing just fine.

My sp is at 1.019 the mouth is open allittle but her tenticles are moving alot better today and the clown seems less frantic! Her color also came back. But I know u guys were saying things about the mouth should never be open. So that scares me! Do you guys think I should wait untill it's mouth...

Thanks all for helping so much!! My lta reattached itself!! It's tentacles are normal in appearance but it hasn't grown yet. It's still tiny. But I'm guessing that it's gonna take time.. Can anyone recommend what kinds of food I should feed it. Or if I should just wait! (ps srry for not...

What do u recommend I should feed my LTA? I've never directy fed it !

So far so good ! My anemone and clown seems to of settled down! I tell ya though I've never seen sandsifter stars and my sm spiny sea urchin move so fast!! But thankgod all my critters have settled down.

I wish I could get a pic but I don't have a comp. I use my iPhone for Internet. Thanks for all the help!!! I noticed that it reattached to a rock and it doubled in size! Yay ! I wish I had another tank but I only have one . I will do what u say and I promis not to mess with the salinity till...

I was afraid that u would say that salt is deadly!! Alot of the tenticles turned brown. Now it moved to a different spot and went into itself. Also it let out alot of cotton stuff! The sp was 1.017. This happend about 40 min ago. Now it's 1.029

The tank has Been up for 7 months now! I've had the lta for about 3 months. Untill now it's been doing great! It even ate one of my fire fish! I do a 25% water change once a month.

Any one please help ! I have a 50 reef tank. I was doing a water change. 25 % And an hour later I noticed that the salinity was a little low so I went to grab some salt and I tripped some fell in tank! On my LTA! It shriveled up like an old man in the polar bear club!!! It seams to be in pain...

thanks for the info. wow i guess i killed my shrimp! ive now gone up to 1.025 over 3 days and now my LTA wont stop moving around ! he does seem more active. Even more colorful! Reefs are definitely tough to keep! but its to late i'm hooked! hahaha!!

Much thanks i will up the spgrav.

The guy at the store told me that he keeps the tank at a low SPgrav because parasites can't live in it. Do u think this is true? All my livestock seems to be doing well. I drip aclimate all new livestock ! Thanks for the help!
