Have you ever let them soak in vinger water? I let mine soak in it while I'm on vacation....so I hope it helps.

That's good to get off hard minerals. This wasn't the problem with mine.

Scrubbed out my big skimmer & pump & then did a good scrubbing of my sump, which ensued a large (30%) WC on my reef.

Fed everybody! The shrimp, the regular snails, the assassin snails, the betta, the otos. Not everybody gets fed every day, but today was a free-for-all. Plus, I got rid of some extra frogbit and tidied up the planted tank - removed bits of algae and stray moss and crushed empty snail shells into shrimp-sized bits for munching.
I need long scissors for that tank SO BAD!

I finally got my refractometer so I was able to bring up Albie's tank to 1.002 SG. did a 75% WC to do this and I also bought some more ghost shrimp and put them in my crab tank for future puffer snacks.

My refractometer finally arrived too -- I'll be starting to raise the SG in my F8 tank next weekend. This weekend, I found a second piece of holey rock at the LFS that the puffs seem to enjoy.
