Who Gives A Fish Forums

Alk was at 7 dKH, so I'm bumping it up slowly. Also moved the coral to a higher-flow area. Fingers crossed!

Thanks for the advice, everyone. I'll test alk and mag today and maybe tweak the flow. Appreciate the help!

My Stylophora has been in the tank for three months now, but it's not branching like I expected. Water params are good, 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, 5 nitrate, 8.2 pH, 1.025 salinity. Lighting is AI Prime 16HD at 70% intensity. Any ideas what's up?

I was thinking of just letting it sit for a day. The 10 gal has brand new gravel, and the 5 gal doesn't have any since I removed it all for the water changes. I'm wondering if my live plants that I transferred from the 5 to the 10 could be the culprit? I also thought about the tap water, I'll test ...

Thanks again, I appreciate the advice, but I've been doing daily water changes for months now, and it's getting really frustrating.

My ammonia levels are still through the roof at 1.0 ppm, I've lost count of how many water changes I've done and I've even added some ...

Thanks for the help, I appreciate it.

Thanks for sharing your experience, angelica. I appreciate the suggestion, but I've already tried daily water changes and unfortunately, it didn't make a difference for my betta. Still, I'm glad to hear your tetra recovered.

Here are some more pics of my elephant ear betta. I've got him set up in an old 5-gallon hex for now, using it as a hospital tank. Just got a new 10-gallon corner bow front that I'm cycling - he'll be moving in there eventually. His tankmates are a bushy nose albino pleco and a nerite snail.

Hi everyone, I'm new here and I'm having some trouble figuring out what's going on with my elephant ear betta's eyes. Initially, I thought it was pop eye, but now I'm leaning towards diamond eye - or maybe something else entirely. I've been researching and looking at pictures, but none of them seem ...
