What is that?Did you use a solution to calibrate?
Oh well I never thought of that I always asumed it was my water prams…the reason I say that was becuase the light is plenty bright
Its like sw. A few drops will show if your refractometer is right or off. The solution is made at 1.025. If the refractor displays something else, you use the mini screw driver to adjust the reading. This is calibrationdo I need to put it on the refractometer?
Dead inverts is alarming to me. Unless, there are people who can keep nems alive. But not hermits and snails. Shrimps are a different obstacle.Plenty bright is a relative statement lol. I'm willing to bet money that lack of PAR is the main reason your anemone died. Sure, there may have been other contributing factors but a bleaching anemone is a hungry anemone. Anemone's can obtain full nutrition from light alone and don't need to be spot fed under ideal conditions.
This is why we use a calibration fluid. Yours could be correct. But cant be positive.Ohhh I didn’t know that so it wont work without it??
Ok Thankyou that light was bought so recent and I spent 100$ and I dont want to wast my money on another one or waste the one I have. But I will see what I can do.Plenty bright is a relative statement lol. I'm willing to bet money that lack of PAR is the main reason your anemone died.

Ok I will buy one then. Also if you looked at the pic I sent you was the salinity it said an ok salinity for the tank in your opinion? It was around 1.022 or 1.023. It was hard to tellThis is why we use a calibration fluid. Yours could be correct. But cant be positive.

Oh ok got you so I can’t have nem with this light? Even if i take the lid of or something?Im not telling you that you need to get a new light… I’m telling you that if you want to keep anemones alive you need a proper light. If you want to keep fish and low light coral, then proceed with what you have.
Fuzzy, but looks like 1.025Ok I will buy one then. Also if you looked at the pic I sent you was the salinity it said an ok salinity for the tank in your opinion? It was around 1.022 or 1.023. It was hard to tell
Yes I am thinking that too but my tests say nothing is wrong however I haven’t tested phosphate yetHe mentioned that his shrimp lived months and only died when it escaped. I’m not sure what the deal is with the hermits/snails, but I’m skeptical that water parameters alone killer them.

Ohh ok I thought it would be 1.25 if it was right between 1.020 and 1.030 on my test it was closer to the 1.020 but if that is what you saw I will take your word for it.Fuzzy, but looks like 1.025
You cant take my word for it. Im looking at a fuzzy picture. Your eyes would be better judge.Ohh ok I thought it would be 1.25 if it was right between 1.020 and 1.030 on my test it was closer to the 1.020 but if that is what you saw I will take your word for it.
Ok I had an idea of placing it in one of those floating baskets made for nems you can get from Amazon it would be much closer to the light surface and flow if I did thatUnless you have access to a PAR meter none of us can answer that with absolute certainty…however based on my experience with anemones and the Amazon link you provided, I’m highly doubtful it will be enough.
