Im not sure if this should be in here or reef tanks but here is my question anyways. When my tank is ready which seems like a long way away does it hurt to add large groups of corals at 1 time they say to only add 1 fish at a time but are corals the same it seems like you get a better price more...

I have High Nitrates 100+ I want to do a water change tomm.. I have a 47 gal tank so would you do 30% water change 14 gal. Side note there is nothing in there yet just my live rock. 2nd if there is only live rock im my tank should I still wait 24 hrs to add my mix of water/salt I made Thanks

Im new to this too, but from what I have read you dont have enough LR. I would guess you need about 85lbs of rock in there...

How long does the salt/water mix need to sit before you add that to the tank. I have been told 24hrs or 3 hrs? Thanks

Im using a Salifert test kits....

The LFS told me to add them to consume some of the nitrates. Here are my levels PH=8.0 Nitrite=100+ Ammonia=>0.25 SG=1.025 PPT=32 thanks

Ok this has been set up for like 3 weeks, My Nitrates were about 100 now they jumped to probably 200 my reading stops at 100. I put some live bacteria in yesterday. The LFS told me to just sit on the tank for a while. Should I just let it continue to cycle or start doing some water changes. Only...

Well I might not be that excited they grow to 24inches and eat everything. Anyone have these worms and do they really like to destroy or have you left them in there? Thanks

I got all excited tonight, Im cycling my tank about 3 weeks old. Just live rock in there. But tonight I found some thin centipede looking worms crawling around. It like Christmas something alive. My nitrates are high 100 will that kill them? thanks

I do not have one there. do you mean the overflow where you open/close pipe. or where the return shoots the water out?

Micro bubbles, I just cant figure this out I am getting a ton of micro bubbles coming out of the return on my euro reef rs series protein skimmer. i went to there site no real solutions. I have been playing with this all night no luck its been running for like 5 days still the same as when I...

Well I want to do a reef but mostly soft corals.

Ok sorry the tanks is about 3 weeks old .Its a 47 gal bowfront with 52 lbs of live rock. Only my live rock in there nothing else till I get my levels right. But can salt go bad? From my figures the stuff i made should maybe around 2ppm not 50?

Ok its about my salt. This salt was given to me its Instant Ocean sea salt. Its a 160gal bucket. There was about 80 gal left . I think its about a yearish old. Ok here is what I am working with. My tap water is .5 to 1pph nitrates. I am getting a ro/di filter in like 3 weeks. Just trying to find...

Just wondering on my exit pipe on my protein skimmer it looks to be like I would call it tiny/foam bubbles is that what it should do or should it be clear water? Or do I have a leak some where? Thanks
