Anybody want to trade coral frags. I have some nice xenia to trade. I'm also willing to buy some frags. I live in northen NJ, Bergen, Passic, Morris, Hudson counties all within 20 minutes.

You could try usiung a smaller airstone than the one you have already. That may help

Thanks, both for the reply. The nitrates will not be as detrimental to the freshwater fish as they are to the corals. And as far as my drinking water, the nitrates are in an acceptable level for human consumption. I suppose that aquatic life is more sensitive.

well, after exploring my oprions, I've decdied that is would be most economical and less troublesome to pack up my ten gallon and go with a freshwater set-up. Thank you all for your support these past couple of years.

is this the ony solution?

Just moved into a new house where my water supply now comes from an underground well. I tested the water and the nitrates come up the harmful level for the aquarium(levels are safe for human consumption). This is really a bummer, I'm considering an R/O unit but I was wondering if there is any...

it looks good, but I'm not that good with DIY Stuff. Is it that difficult to retrofit. It looks like all I have to do is run mount the endcaps and ballast and run the wire. Is this the case, and would it retrofit in my 20 inch flourescnet hood i currently have?

I just read through many threads but non seemed to answer my question. I have 30 watts flourescent on my 10 gallon. Would this be enough to sustain the following corals: Mushrooms Xenia Hammer Polyps Thanks in advance

sounds good, i would go for it!

i would wait since it is a new tank it will have to go through some type of cycle. keep you eyes on your levels for the next two weeks, then you can determine if it is ok to add.

10 gallon all glass, 90 gallon freshwater all glass

i have the amiracle mr200. but i'm not sure what you are talking about. give us a few more details and i'll be happy to help

I'm with fishy on this one. Eight days into the cycle, i would expect your levels to rise a bit more before they go down again. Changing some water would be fine espically of you are going to keep the inverts in the tank.

Congrats, best wishes!

they actually clean the parasites off of the fishes body. check them out in the inverts section under infor for hobbyists on this website, it will give you a detailed description.

I have found that cleaner shrimp are a very effective way of controlling ich in a reef tank

I would not recommend it, espically if you are gonna start a reef, cleaning it will be a major task if not impossible. Save your money

its a good filter to polish your water, but i would not recommend running it all the time, espically in a reef tank.
