I have my cleaner crew and they have cleaned up all the brown algea and now there is snail and hermit crab poop every where the current settles it. I have been doing water changes my water qualities are good. 0 ammonia 0 nitrites 20 nitrates. But my question is will the poop break down and the...

The best i bought off, was the lettus rock. WOW was that nice came with free shipping and nice hitchhickers.

I'm done cycling. My nitrites and ammoina are 0 and I switched to RO/DI water also. I will try that suppliment feeding. OH also there is poop everywhere. Does this go away somehow? I've been told not to siphon the sand that all I need to do is to change 10 gallons a week. I have a skimmer in...

I bought a 100 gallon cleaning crew made up of snails and Crabs. They have been eating all the brown algae in my tank. Now it's almost gone and I'm noticing the crabs dieing off one by one. My water quaility is great and I'm worried that they are now starving to death. Is this normal or do...

Any idea what these are. There are little anenome things all over this red grape algea. And there in the center of the 2 branches is the growth looking thing. There are more growths and I squished one the other day and it squirted 2 things out of it then it died. I didn't even know it was alive!

I bought a cleaning crew a week ago and along with it I bought this kind of algae called red grape caulerpa. On it were some worms and some of these "growths". I think the growths were some kind of hitch hiker. But anyways, today I notice that my tank is very cloudy. The cleaning crew has almost...

I have a 90 gallon with 260 watts of Compat F. I know I'm 100 watts low for coral, from what I read. What I'm wondering is if I can just leave the light on longer or suppliment with an hour or so of direct sunlight?

Ok thanks for everyones info. I have more live rock coming this week. I diddn't buy enough the first time. So what I'll do I'll add it then let it cycle again and then take it from there. The siphoning sand question was because lets say I get poop from the fish everywhere does that naturally...

What's that got to do with my question? I'm wondering if it would harm a cleaning crew? Ammonia is 1.5 and nitites are 3.3+. And To answer your question I'd go to work and fix the leak.

I wondering if high nitrates will kill a cleaning crew? My tank hasn't cycled yet and I'm starting to get brown alge every where. I am thinking of getting a cleaning crew already but is it too soon? Also I have live sand, am I supposed to siphon it like CC or just let it sit? as far as maintenence?

That's all very good info and answered my questions perfectly, thanks again.. dart

My question is what's the difference in lighting between atinic, 12000k, 50/50 etc... I have a 2 atinic and 2 12000k but what type of lighting 1. makes things look better and 2. Things grow better?

I have a 90 gallon tank and bought a fuge but the mesurement they gave me were off. Now I have a fuge that won't fit around the support beams but would fit under the tank if I could get it around the beams. I see pictures of fuges under tank now I'm wondering how you did it?

ok thanks, I wasn't sure because I saw and ad for some kind on mud. Live mud maybe and it was reccommended. But I like the live sand idea.

Oh man! The fuge doesn't fit under my TANK STAND! They gave me the wrong mesurements... grrr

The refugium just showed up. Yay!

Now I have 40 LBS of live sand in my 90 gallon tank. I see that's not enough. Whats the formula I need there? Also I'm getting a refugium later today in the mail. Do I also put live sand in there? What should I do?

Thanks again for everyones help, I appreciate it. I'm sure I'll be back for more questions. -Dart
