pull out the shrimp, read zero ammonia zero nitrites and a reading of nitate. when you get these numbers put in a SMALL fresh piece of shrimp. check readings if all look good. water change and cuc. this of course is just IMO

no water change yet ammonia and nitrites to zero

there are fish that can actually live in both environments

how do you get water movement in a power outage live rock is also dependent on water movement for nitrification

you never want your cycle to be over. you can remove the shrimp now

IMO the best form of filtration is a multi media setup. Mechanical and natural. Aerobic and anaerobic bacteria and algae on the natural end. Filter material and protein skimmer on the mechanical. Ammonia introduced into our tank via organic breakdown is filtered though our filter media via our...

the best form of filtration. IMO live rock is not the best form of filtration, in fact it is not even the best natural form of filtration

You can add the live rock for aesthetic value if the LR already has beneficial bacteria on and in it you are ahead of the game as far as your tank stabilizing a bio load. Go with a good quality heater although you live in a warm climate it will help keeping temperature fluctuation to a minimum...

From the web Uronema marinum is a saltwater parasite that can prove fatal for marine fish. The parasites behind the disease are ciliated protozoa that live freely in marine environments. This disease will as most other diseases only infect already weakened fish and the best way to prevent this...

Low alkalinity or low aeration can be the cause of low ph unless you tank is just over a cycle i do not think you sand is causing your low ph

T I wish there were words i could say to comfort you but i know what you are going through so all i can say is god bless

ok this is my own personal opinion. you have a great size tank. no need to go half way now. research external overflow boxes, and install a sump/ refug under your tank.In the long run you and your tank inhabitants will be better served

is your tank drilled for in tank overflows

so you are saying you never had a protein skimmer ? if so IMO the DAS saltwater setups came with a sump and that is where the protein skimmer was housed

We have a dutch aquatic system that is a 115 gallon. We need a protein skimmer however we haven't found one that will fit with the tank excuse my stupidity but what exactly does the above quote mean
