hey guys what is the correct range the alkalinity in my tank should be? i never tested for alk and im going to buy a tester tonight?

this question may be dumb but what happens if your ph goes high--lets say like 8.6 is that bad as well as a low ph? and how would you bring a high ph down?

thanks jonh! :maitre you been a great help and teacher as well!!!!!!!! but one more thing buddy- when i got home last night--the xenia which i said was dying--died! it completly disappeared--all i found was a couple of little pieces of the tip(pulsing flowers tips) around the tank...

okay-another dumb question--why does one frag--- why? to sell the pieces or to keep the xenia/corals under control? once they get big or all over the place you just frag coral-such as mushrooms-polyps-??? by sliccing them and moving them elsewhere in the tank? it seems so new and scary...

no--john---i use already mixed saltwater--it comes with salt -trace elements and ph buffer already done/mixed---

ok--this may sound dumb but the piece thats left behinh on the rock--does that piece like ozzzes anything or does the left over tissue get slimy or something-i never cut or seem a coral get fragged before-
