Ahhh the big thing....what should I do about it? Sorry, just really sick and this all happened and I have no idea what to do!

The what?

I did have a spill a few weeks ago. I went to change the filter and I forgot to close the valves...yea I know - but it was a bad day to begin with. It didn't spill on top of the wires, but the box that the switch was on had some water under it but there are no seams for water to go in it...so I...

I did, my fingers hurt from mixing them all up. I have no idea what to do next.

Has this ever happened to anyone? I switched out the old bulbs that came with the tank last week. I have a total of 4 on my 55 gallon. I have 2 blue actinic, 1 white and 1 50/50. All of a sudden it's not working when they are the same bulbs that came with the tank!!! It comes on for like 5-10...

Thanks!

Okay, thanks so much! I just am trying so hard not to mess anything up and was really patient with the cycle :) I will try 11-9, again, thanks!!

I have a timer but just didn't set it up yet...so how do you have it turn off and on??? How long are the lights on for at each time?

My tank is done cycling, etc. I added the lights to the tank finally which are 2 blue VHO actinic, 1 white and 1 sun which is a 50/50. My tank is a 55 gallon. I only have some crabs in there to clean up some since there is some growth. I just added them last night along with the lights. I am...

I don't have any fish in the tank yet. I am in the middle of cycling the tank and only have live sand and live rock in there with some power heads and a filter. Do I still have to do the drip tech is there is no fish?

Okay...so how do I drip add it? Now topping off the tank I don't need salt water but when I take out the water and add new I need to add the salt correct?

Okay- so just go get some water, de-chlorinate it and add in to top off. I don't need to heat the water to top it off? Then in order to do a water change, how many 5 gal buckets should I heat with water so the salt dissolves? Then tomorrow if it sits today siphon out the water and add the new water?

Okay...this may sound dumb but I really just don't want to [hr] anything up so I am nervous about this tank!!! How do I do a water change? I haven't done one yet but I know I have to, duh!! I have a good amount of water missing anyway but need to change some of it? How much should I change...

I am trying to decide on lighting for my tank . Right now there are 4 bulbs in there but they don't work. I need new ones. What do you think of 2 blue 46.5 VHO URI Actinic and 2 white 46.5 VHO URI Actinics? If not, what do you suggest? I don't have any coral yet just live rock and no fish...

So I went and bought like 70 lbs of live rock today and added it to the tank. I have the power head pointed at it and I am about to set up the other one. I would like to add some corals and fish...yes down the road. So what lights would you suggest? The tank is obviously not as clear as before...

Yay the salt water level is good and the hydrometer obviously was not broke What type of lighting should I get? Should I add coral? I was going to get live rock today and lighting but need some help!

Haha I removed the link...I didn't even buy it from there, it came with the tank I bought from a guy personally....too funny! I am going to try and put it upside down- I can't get electrocuted? I don't have lighting yet...that was my next question. What types of bulbs should I get? I know they...

It's loud like a horrible shop vac loud. I guess I am going to take it all apart again tomorrow morning and try again when everyone is awake I am also going to test the water again tomorrow since I should now have the right saltinity! Thanks again to everyone!! I will be back tomorrow morning...

I just re-plugged it in and scared the hell out of my dog, lol. I tried to feel under it and I don't think I felt any blowing :(

I have no idea...I freaked out and thought maybe I didn't do something right so I unplugged it.
