Retric - don't eat

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Ive said this before in numerous threads, changing water everyday is a stressfactor itselfe, i would change a little more water every 3 days. Ive read many times that RO water is not good.. Any reason why you use it? I would maybe put in a divider and let the retics go for themselfes.
 
Did they stop eating after you added the hystrix and orb? The additional bioload combined with new tank mates maybe stressing the retics. Can you add a divider to keep the retics alone?

Now I stoped changing water. I have automatic water exchange in my tank. I changed water because I thought that I can have Ammonia in my tank. But I'm almost 100% sure that Ammonia is 0ppm. http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=317516

I'm using Ro/Di almost half a year. For this moment everything was OK. I add Ro/Di filtration because my tap water has high level of silicate.

Good question. I'm not sure but it can be like you wrote. I will add a divider today.

What that mean if faces looks like stringy or withe ? What it might mean ?

and one more question:

If NO3 is 15-20ppm and NO2 is 0ppm... ammonia can be different than 0ppm ?

Thanks for helping.
 
If you change water in a discreet way, wich you may when you have automatic i gues it wont hurt. I take out water at the same time as i add, and the fish dont even notice. If you have automatic i gues you have owerflow to sink? In that case you could change as much as you want. But many people tapp half the tank, for so adding new, and that is stressfull for sure.
 
I just bought PraziPro - Aquarium Solutions.

It is safe for Rays ? Anybody was using this ?
 
Prazi Pro is great! Go for it..you'll be surprised if it's a parasite how quick they bounce back.
