:scared: The magnatometer readings are off the scale !! Well have to get back to sector 9 and reset the distribution block STAT!

temp and sg are good, using ro water, the ammo came and went in 4 days, the trites have been the same for weeks. what im really trying to figure out between everyones opinions, is whether or not I should be adding a source of ammonia. The ammo is at 0 because the bacteria is eating it, but if...

so I shouldnt ghost feed? I figured I should keep at least something giving off ammo as it decomposes so I dont lose that bacteria when I introduce fish. Thanks for all the tips! I really didnt want to tear anything down! [hr] so final verdict----Leave it totally alone? or ghost feed? or...

Ok guys looking for some suggestions, got a damsel mid cycle because the wife was whining,so as suspected he died last night after 2 weeks. So obviously I dont want to put another in there and now have an acceptable excuse.I have a 20g Long tank with about 9 or 10 pounds of cured LR. Just...

seems like a lot to add at the same time. What kind of test are you using- like what brand? I wouldnt wait a month for a water change just stick with your schedule.

I have a biowheel question-- Everytank I have seen with biowheels, 1 or both of them stop spinning, all the time, they take constant monitoring to make sure they are still spinning. That said, wouldnt all the good bacteria die when exposed to just air for more than a few hours?
