I cut back on Tang feeding -- my rocks look better. But they give me an angry look as they swim by the veggie clip. I don't think they like to work for their food.

Still at .25 -- I'm going the frequent water change route along with tossing bacteria and carbon in. I'm going to be more aggressive. I've been hoping that regular maintenance and cutting back on feeding would solve the problem over time. This is going to take extra muscle.How is the ammonia?
API -- no clue about expiration date. I use API for nitrates and ammonia. But I do know that I've had the kit for awhile. I keep the test kits in a plastic container -- so I don't have the original box. It has the lot number printed on the bottles but I don't see a use by date. Perhaps I should go shopping. Plus you give me another reason to make purchases for my tank.What test kit are you using on ammonia? Is it close to expiry date?
API ............ There is your problem. Known issue. Do google search or a reef2reef search on this.API -- no clue about expiration date. I use API for nitrates and ammonia.

Thank you. I use Salifert for everything else, but I've never really worried about API for nitrates and ammonia. Perhaps I should reconsider.API ............ There is your problem. Known issue. Do google search or a reef2reef search on this.
I haven't been able to figure it out. I think you are right about the test kit. I'm glad you thought of it -- in some ways, I'm relieved. I'm far from OCD when it comes to tank parameters, but I do maintain the tank and try to keep everything within range. So this has be irking me. I had to work today so I'll be hopping over to my lfs tomorrow. If my new ammonia test says I'm in the clear, I'm going to hit those cyber coral sales so quick, it will make your head spin.I thought it strange to just hover at the ,25 ammonia reading especially after adding bottle of bacteria. Your tanks maturity without a major die off should be stable on ammonia. Hope ya remember a back up test kit as your browsing the LFS Look forward to seeing what catches your eye
Surprisingly to most, the most disgusting things that happen at work come from "regular folk". I have stories that should not be placed on this "family forum". People don't believe some of the stories. The homeless people are at least interesting and appreciative. My issues are with drunks, teenagers, and creepy perverts, as opposed to the non-creepy perverts.I would say put the QT at the library, but I worry about those homeless BMs.
I've been lucky where we really don't have a prostitute issue, but what you said doesn't surprise me. ;YuckYou would think at first thought library nice gig but..... my oldest sons friend like a third son to us was in charge of children’s section and activities one task was keeping the prostitutes out of that areas bathroom to keep them family friendly Little kids and needles left behind not good. Bless the folks who put up with and do things that should never have been on the job duties list because they love the other parts of their job
Oh just look in the 306.74s (Dewey). You will find lots on prostitution.Wait, there are prostitutes at the library???
Kidding!!!
Nice to see Dewey still exists. Hate to think everything I learned as a kid is useless.Oh just look in the 306.74s (Dewey). You will find lots on prostitution.
