Any input I can get on these things would be appreciated.
1. I've never tested for ALK, CA, or MG. With my recent failure in keeping certain SPS, I should probably be testing these. I'm needing to get a test kit for ALK, CA, and maybe MG. What kit(s) would you suggest and do you know if AC carries these?
2. I recently purchased 100 micro hermits, a kole tang, and a lettuce nudi to assist in my hair algae problem. I think I'm starting to notice a small dent, but its just not enough. A few weeks ago AC had a sea hare that was of proper color to eat hair algae (they are the same color as what they eat per http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_hare ). Has anyone had one of these and exactly how reef safe are they? I mostly have softies and want to make sure they don't get munched on. Also, if you've had one... what was the success like?
3. Its time for me to buy another bucket of salt. I've been buying Oceanic salt from AC. I know everyone has their own preference, but is there any reason I should try something else and why? Please... share your opinions.
I think thats it. Thanks for any and all replies! I'll be going to AC tomorrow to maybe pickup these things I've listed and any help is appreciated.
