I have a fuge with oppisite light schedule from the DT. The only thing I used to cycle the tank was about 90 lbs of live rock and live sand. It is a 55gal tank. The ALK is fine at 300ppm. Is it ok to use a buffer. If so what kind.

What could be making my PH drop. My tank is about three weeks old and all other levels are fine. However my ph has dropped off from 8.2 to 7.8. There is no live stock in the tank yet. Any help would be great

I have the same skimmer. It takes a least 72 hours for the pump to break in. What I did was turned the water level all the way down for the 72 hour time period. After that it was fine. As for the bubble trap, I would just get rid of it. It just taks up room, as long as the drain tube is...

Is GE I silicone okay to use to glue baffles into place? Also my tank has been up and running for almost three weeks. I used an all purpose silicone to glue my baffles into place and it has an anti mildew in it. Yeah I know, stupid. Any way will I have to get rid off all my water and start...

also since the tank has already been running for two weeks will I have to get rid off all the water in the tank and start over?

So GE I is okay to use for sure. If so how do i cut out the glass that I already put in the tank and how will I get the excess silicone off the side of the tank.

I have heard that it is ok to use LOCKTITE to glue baffels into place. Is this a true statement, and if so is their a certain type. Please help me cause I am in a bind with this whole set up. My wife is starting to get mad at me over how long it is taking to set this up.

Did someone say that it is ok to use LOCKTITE to glue in dividers.

okay, it did say mildew resistant. So will I have to change all the water in my tank since I have been running it for about a week now.

I have just completed a DIY refuge and I used an all purpose silicone from Wal-Mart. My two questions are, was this a bad choice. If so, what can I do to fix and what should I use to adheir the glass in place.
