Not sure what happened,overfed - not sure as i fed less than 1 cap of the 5 in 1 coral food (1st time using this coral food ). Within an hour, the fishes began to show sympton and died eventually. Like to find out, when i open the coral food, there was no seal ( meaning the moment i uncap,i can see the content in the bottle ). The solution is also black in color. As this is the 1st time i am using 5 in 1, previously using Kent coral food solution ( can't remember the name). So is this normal?

My tank crashed last night after feeding the 5 in 1 coral food. All fishes, shrimps and snails died. Corals still alive, should I change all the tank water. Pls advice.

Hi, any update on whether the shipment? thinking of going AM tml. thks.

Can any body kindly help, the pic refused to show up...

thanks for the advice,sorry,i'm not sure wat kind of seahorse it is cause not familiar with them..

saw few sea horse on sale in a LFS in chinatown, wanted to try but afraid it will not survive in a small nano tank like mine ( IQ5)... Bros, is IQ5 good enough for maybe 1 or 2 seahorse?

Hi i am using distilled water for top up and tap water with seachem prime (anti chlorine) for water change. Not sure which grade the beach sand is but should be quite ordinary as it is not expensive. Have not tried on the powdered buffer yet but might give it a try. using tetra PH test kit.

Yes the PH is indeed rather low, tried using Seachem marine buffer ( liquid form ) to push it up but doesn't seems to be helping.....

Hi all , made a check on the KH with the tester from API and the readings are at 12dkh/214ppm. Is it ok? Rest of the readings Ammonia = 0 Nitrite = 0 NItrate = 0 PH = 7.4-7.7

Hi, noted and thanks for the advice. Will check on the KH when i got hold of the tester. Anyway like to find out, what is the level which would be considered as too low? Is 7.4-7.7 ok? Thanks.

Hi All This is my 1st try in marine fish and currently in the 2nd week of tank cycling. Found out that the PH is always rather low - bet 7.4-7.8 despite my attempts to use the Seachem buffer to beef up the PH. Doesn't seem to work.Could it be due to the coral chips that i use as i understood from FW , the chips are used to maintain FW PH at neutral level 7. Tank details Currently i am running on th IQ5 with 1 pack ($1.50 per pack) of coral chips as part of the bedding. Pls advice....

Hi, any photo of the tank?
