Sorry didnt list some of those. I havent used anything other than RO water to wipe down the outside of the tank.


SG: 1.024
temp: 80
ammo- 0
nitrite/ate- 0
phosphate - 0
PH - 8.2

these are the tanks stats as of a couple of hours ago. I use Rods Food to feed, been feeding it for a couple of months now. I know its stored proper. I've never seen a nitrate spike. The highest it went once was 10ppm and that was because i was out of town and couldnt do a water change that week. I do a 20% water change every week.

I dont test for Ca, Alk, or MG because I dont dose any of it. I just do wc's.

I am using API test kits. Which are less than 6 months old, and the tests are done with lab like precision (pre-med, lots of lab time lol). I did see white spots on the last clown before it died. They werent on him when I lifted him out. I can say that i've been lucky with pulling them out on time. I guess they've all croaked right before I got home. Its wierd. The damsel was a run of the mill blue damsel and didnt have a single spot on him. Not in the tank nor once dead.
