    JBJ Digi-Lab....

    I have one and like it very much. I wear glasses and that makes it hard to accurately read a refractometer so this is much easier for me. I have been told by someone else that if you don't take proper care of the electrodes (clean them after use and then dry them) they will corrode and ruin...

    chamber is so small...what pump will fit?

    Thats right, you should be able to utilize the hose thats already there. With a 606 you get about 150 gph of flow.

    chamber is so small...what pump will fit?

    :welcome to the board. The most widely used pumps are MiniJet 606's. There have been a few people that used one of the smaller Rios but I am not sure of the model #.

    Is my clown sleeping or not well?

    Acanthopleura sp.

    Peppermint w/ eggs

    You may have a few make it that way but if you want to raise them then I would read the book I mentioned. Alternatively you could just allow them to hatch out and take their chances, the corals and other tank inhabitants really appreciate the fresh food when they hatch out.

    WATER CHANGE

    You should also try to match the waters pH as well as the salinity and temp. Then just add it back as slow as necessary to prevent stirring up your substrate.

    Is my clown sleeping or not well?

    I agree, not normal. Check things like your temp and parameters. I would also make sure that you have good water movement at the surface so there is good oxygen exchange.
