Try API's customer service first before you go spend $30. Only the cards are different, except FW has the normal pH solution as well as high range. They're sending me the freshwater card in the mail for free. I pulled those from a different website...as soon as I get the freshwater card, I'll scan both onto one 8.5 x 11 PDF for printing. That way, they'll both get scanned at the exact same time so color changes should be consistent between them.

Got another one now. I hope he does well. Day 4...he's a shy one. He's actually gotten more timid in day 3 now. Hanging a lot in a particular decoration. I can't help but be nervous...

0 am, 0 Ni, 5 Na, 7.6 pH.

Yep. 3 large coral pieces (all petsmart) with lots of holes, tunnels. I got 2 plastic plants and a fake jelly. Circulation pump And air bubble disc. And he utilizes it all. He's gotten more timid as days pass...just looking somewhat lethargic and skinny yesterday am until now...which I perceive to be ips. Lumpy stomach. Randomly belly goes grey. Doing Prazipro bloodworm soaks. He's eating it...reluctantly.
