Thanks for your quick replies to my post. It's a 55 gallon tank with about 45 or so pounds of LR in it. He is using a SeaClone 100 skimmer and doesn't currently use a sump. His filtration system does use bio wheels, which I have read some opinions that they can cause problems, myth or not...

I am helping a friend out with his saltwater that he has had for about a month now. He aquired it from someone who was moving and couldn't take the tank with him. The tank has been up and established for about 2 years now. It successfully supported numerous healthy fish during that time. My...

I have about 60 lbs of LR in it right now that I got locally. They tell me that it has already cured and everything. I am adding adding 20lbs arag-alive and 60 lbs reef sand this weekend. Will this affect it also? Thanks for your help and sorry for the simple questions, just don't guess I...

Just with the LR and some aragonite substrate. I removed the substrate last week because I chose to go with a finer sand

New to the hobby. I have a 72 gal bowfront that's been up and cycling with LR for two weeks. I should get my sand in this weekend and will add it when it does. How long should I wait before adding any cleaner crew? I have been absolutely fighting the itch to put something in there and i know...

What's the status on the skimmer? Also, could you send me pics and details of it if it's still up for grabs? cowartm@gmail.com Thanks

I'd like that link too : cowartm@gmail.com Thanks
