Flower I asked because I'm using an API right now and my nitrates look much higher than I expected after doing 2 water changes using RO water.

I may be totally wrong (please correct me if I am fellas) (or ladies) but if it is not already live rock, then you want to ease in fish do te bio load doesn't go through the roof... Correct? Stern, was the ammonia less? Also have you had any sort of bloom with brown algea?

Why does API read nitrates high? Is this accrosd the board?

It does have a high range PH to the right of te PH. Stern how much live rock did you say you put in?

Trigger or blenny. Like a lawnmorrow or starry.

Copperbands are notoriously difficult! I echo jay. I LOVE wrasses and yet can be large enough to hold their own. Clowns would be lunch! Jay would certain blennys work as well?

Right now I have 2 turbos. I'm thinking 3-5 more, and then 8 nasarious.

So I've seen some debate/discussion on how many/much Clean up crew you need. (for those new to the hobby CUC = Clean up Crew = stars, snails, crabs, etc.) Is there a general rule that you guys go by? Is there a "bare minimum" you think a tank should have? I personally have a Fish only, but this...

Makes sense. I have no corals so I can do longer.

Just to make sure I understood. Red sludge does or doesn't need light?

What all do shrooms need? Light wise and water wise?

Really?!? I've always killed it by shutting of my lights for a few days to a wee... I have siphoned as well.

I assume the red slime is Cyanobacteria. It tends to feed on nitrates and phosphates ... I only have fish ao I can just shut off my lights for a while. With coral I know you can cut back on lights but I don't know how much?

In my experience you're right. I have a 65g for my first. A 75 adds a ton of length which makes a difference for types of fish. A lot of my fish tend to stay in a certain "level" if the water column... Although as they get more secure they do tend to get braver!

Bang. What do you mean in parallel?

I know nothing bout triggers. I'm just curious as to what else you are going to add? I always like seeing how people sart out their tanks!

Sounds like you are doing something right!!! Congrats in the babies!

How many fish did you lose starting out the last one?

Makes me want to buy an anemone!
