When doing my bi-weekly water change for a reef tank i know i need to make sure salinty and ph are the same as the tank, but do i also get the calcium and dkh levels to be the same as the main tank? Or do i just check the parameters after the water change and take it from there? (guy at the lfs...

Hey Delight, I checked out aqua dreams, great lfs. I just bought a MH from them the other day... Told them you sent me.

Is it ok to keep a hermit crab in a non-aggressive FO tank with LR & LS?

(i think i may have labeled the subject wrong in the previous post) I have a couple questions about using the fluval media after reading some posts on here. Beth said not to use the carbon after 2 weeks because it can become a biological filtration. So I removed my carbon pads, but is it...

I have a 46 Gal bow tank which is currently cycling with 55 lbs of LR and 75 lbs of LS. Could I have an aggressive setup with this or is it too small? If I can have an aggressive setup would it be possible to put a lion, trigger and an eel in it?

So I got my LR & LS and my amonia is beginning to rise and my cycle is starting. My question is when do I add a cleanup crew? After the cycle, during the cycle or right away? Thanks!

I've had my tank setup for 9 days now with 2 damsels. My amonia level is floating between 0 and .25... Should it be higher by now for my tank to cycle? (45 gal) Thanks, Brett
