Awesome which salt doyou use?

Also don't be too worried about by ghost feeding right now, there is still ammonia coming off the rocks it's just its all being converted before it is measured. But I feel the cycle persists past a week or so longer I would suggest ghost feeding a little

Thank you! Ahh well I see now that if I want to keep LPS corals I need to start looking a thing dosing systems. The standard 2 part (3 parts) is sufficient? Or do you have any special reccomendations?

Thanks Joe! So softies at the bottom of those ranges, sps at the top and LPS in the middle?

Hey guys Ca- 380ppm alk-7.0 dKh Mg- 1240ppm Do you think an LPS like frogspawn would survive in these parameters? I ask because my soft corals are fine, but I don't know how much more LPS corals need to survive. I am not dosing my tank just using coral pro salt with biweekly water changes...

Now just wait until it all finishes cycling. If the ammonia hits 0, and you are still waiting days or weeks for the nitrites to hit 0 you should consider ghost feeding. I found when I cycled my first tank last year, I had ammonia for 3 weeks, and then it was only in my fourth and fifth weeks...

Ok thank you! Also, what do you guys use to clean coralline off glass? Takes forever to scrub off small specks with the magfloat

Thanks Joe! Much appreciated. Yup I have an instruction manual somewhere I'll go find it

Oh I just thought cleankng everything off completely would improve longevity of the pump?

Hey guys! My tank turned 6months old and my log book has a note I've left for myself saying clean the pumps. They have coralline specks on the powerheads and a few spirorbid worms on the return pump What's the best way to clean these? Unsure how to clean return pump without a backup since I...

Send us some pictures of what's there!

Definitely add a skimmer if it fits, I find it's really helpful filtration but of course isn't necessary. I think maybe 2-3 shrimps would be fine :) and I think mixing those species together is fine it's just a Boxer shrimp which won't mix I reckon list is fine but swap damsel for another...

Hey guys! I have a 100gallon tank with some fish and 4 soft corals. Green star polyp, two leather corals, and a green mushroom coral. They open fine and are growing though quite slowly as I don't dose. Except the mushroom coral, its growing quickly I'm not sure why. Anyway parameters right...

Thank you guys!

I had ammonia for almost 3 weeks when I cycled my 100gallon, do you need to water change? I didn't, and I put macro in at the end to suck up the nitrates. But otherwise I think your patience strategy is good :) Question, why are the lights on?

Thanks Joe! Yeah I've had a bit of the look, the only downside is detritus trap but I have a goby stirring the top layer? Or is that not enough?

Well the goby has created lots of variation 1 inches, bare in a few spots and 2-3 inches in other spots

Oh ok youre an expert I See! Water change is same. Just gotta pre make water with todo filter day before. Mix salt. Dissolve it over some period of time. Then heat water. Then water change

Mandarin dragonette Also a whale even though it's not a fish.

one of our Local fish stores has a group. However they say they've only had luck with large packs of 6-7+, they said when they added 3-4 they Fighted so they separated them. Just one anecdote I don't know much about it myself.
