Nitrite

Aquarists' concerns about nitrite are usually imported from the freshwater hobby. Nitrite is far less toxic in seawater than in freshwater. Fish are typically able to survive in seawater with more than 100 ppm nitrite! Unless future experiments show substantial nitrite toxicity to reef aquarium inhabitants, I do not consider nitrite to be an important parameter for reef aquarists to monitor. Tracking nitrite in a new reef aquarium can nevertheless be instructive by showing the biochemical processes that are taking place. In most cases, I do not recommend that aquarists bother to measure nitrite in established aquaria.

Ok then

I would have to agree a bit with Elsium being that I've had sw fish survive in a high level nitrite yet had freshwater fish die in lower levels it's more ammonia that kills

 

[meir]

So does anyone else wanna show off there clowns

 

[meir]

I wanna now make this thread one abt the different strains that ppl either bought or are breeding

 

[meir]

It might be percula hard to tell, percula has 10 dorsal spines and ocellaris has 11.

Ten dorsal spies like the entire dorsal fin like both the parts

 

[evan-beachouse-45]

No just the the first and the spines in between the two fins

 

[meir]

That's a bit hard to count being that my clowns are ADHD and can't stay in one place long enough to count[emoji23][emoji23]

 

[meir]

Btw I just realized on my hermit I have two hitchhiking oysters

 

[meir]

And they r
alive

 

[evan-beachouse-45]

Mine used to be like that, they calm down eventually. You could try to get a pic and count if u really wanted to lol

 

[meir]

True y didn't I think of that I was just spending like 5 mins trying to count them[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

 

[meir]
