i am using the red sea test lab mag test kit.

i double check my mag today. It is still 600. and my calcium is 420 and kh is 8.

I placed a poly pad in my filter for a week now. There is no colour change on it at all. No copper or heavy metals i suppose? One of my friend told me that I don't need a canister filter in a reef tank. Should I remove mine? I brought my water to a lfs again this week and it showed that my mg...

I know copper or mag will kill them. But I have got two cleaner shrimps in my tank for 3 months and they are all doing perfectly fine. That's why I am founding it so weird.

no its not a styrofoam box. I bought the hang on plastic box from my lfs. Its just a normal clear plastic box that has a hook for you tank.

Thanks Kathy. I just bought a poly pad. I hope it will tell me about my water problems. I will try it out tonight. All my fishes are very shy. I have got a deltec mce-300 skimmer and a marineland c-360 canister as my filter. Both of my LFS tests are pH- 8.3/8.4 Nitrate-5/10 Nitrite-0/0...

In my tank meaning in my DT. Sorry very unclear now that I read it again. Water is dripping from the bucket up above the floating box. When I see the floating box is starting to get full, I would take some water from the floating box and dump it away(not to DT) I placed hammer, torch, polyps...

My tank is 4 months old. One fs uses API too and the other uses elos aquatic test kit

I did. I brought it to 2 different fish stores to test my water. Both said my water is perfect.

From the photo i showed above, is my torch coral dead? All my corals I put in were dead before. I only acclimated my old corals for about 30 minutes and they were all dead, my lfs told me that I need to acclimate it for longer specially for snails. That's why I did it for so long this time. My...

Recently I have added a torch coral, xenia and 2 giant turbo snails to my 60 gallon tank. Everything was dripped for 3 hours before I place them into my tank. Everything was open and alive within the 3 hours. However as soon as I place my corals and snails into the tank, the torch and xenia...

i got the damsels out and got myself some frozen shrimp in the tank. My ammonium is about 0.25 now. no nitrite or nitrate still. However this morning when i was testing the water again. My live rock and live sand has partly turned brown? is this an diatom bloom? how do I solve it? Thanks in...

thank you all for your advice

Thank you for the quick reply. I will return the damsels to my LFS. I still don't understand why do I have no ammonia at all now.
