Our cat has zero interest in the tank.... or the dogs.... or us... or anything really....
My cat only cares about scouting a meal...
Doesn't care about the clownfish but man he stares down the basslet, they have staring contests and the basslet wins every time. cat meows at me and jumps away from the tank.
Funny s**t
 
That cat is just biding his time. Like me, waiting for my 6 line to go to sleep. I’m wondering if I could move my conch while he’s sleeping inside, and then put a plastic bag around it to get him out of the tank. Hopefully that process is very stressful for him...
 
There are some really fortunate pets on this forum!!

Question about 2 part dosing:

I did that today for the first time. My calc is low, my alk is not. I’m assuming I don’t want to try to do anything stupid like dose more calc and less alk? Any tips or anything I should know/watch for?

I dosed the exact same amount of both solutions, the same 4ml that I have been dosing for DKH alone every day.
 
Ran a full late night test on the frag tank. The only thing that was off were nitrates.

It looks like my phosphates are starting to hold up really well.

I dosed a rather strong 2ppm slug, whatever.

Can low nitrates cause corals to tense up?

I’m really excited for the new fish poop coming soon. I might even be able to run my fuge o_O

I don’t know anything about dosing the two but everything I’ve seen says not to do this.


I would test tomorrow, and maybe a third day, to see if the calc is being drained at a repeatable faster rate. Until then, probably best to stick to two part to ensure things really don’t get out of whack.

How low is too low? I wouldn’t think that would be an issue, but the Dino’s that come with zero nutrients certainly could be!

And I agree with you about the dosing, I’m going to follow the directions! Now ask me how embarrassingly low my Ca is :oops:
 
That was on the couch. Loki does the same thing as your puppies. He takes my spot on on the bed. When I go to move him he protests with husky sounds. He is thr most people like dog I've ever had. He is also the most cat like dog I've ever had.
