dude... I hope your livestock survives.... Do a water change immediately!! You shouldn't have any livestock in your tank yet... let alone you have many!! ugh!!

I just want some suggestions for some units... I don't want to buy gallon jugs or any of that anymore... Just need something small that will do the job... and hopefully won't be too expensive... I've seen units such as kent marine bare bones but I've heard that they are crap.

Anyone have suggestions for an ro/di unit for a nano??

I have a school of 3 green chromis in my 29g that are doing fine.

They should be fine... you would have to be more specific but most corals are photosynthetic which means they get most of their food source from the lights... Unless you have lps.

Good question It is based upon the size of your tank. When most hobbyists do a water change it is usually about 10 - 20% of the total volume... Also everyone does their water changes differently... some do them more than others. With time you will begin to see what works for your tank...

You may want to change the 7100k light to a 10k light in the future.. but not too necessary right now. You will need a heater also if you do not have one... set to somewhere around 80 F. You sure can get test kits that come in a package.. just search around... acceptable numbers until you can...

Opus18, You will want to maintain a calcium level of about 420 - 450 ppm... also try scraping rocks with coralline with a razor to help spread it. As far as diatoms... this is common in all newly established tanks.. try a water change and also consider adding some more clean up crew... do not...

What kind of corals... I would say most likely no... you do not want to raise your levels any higher than they already are.

diy rock and oldcastle playsand, also anything else diy... trading corals, etc. and use classifieds like everyone else said. NeReef.. you made your own RO?? I'm very interested! :happyfish

Welcome! I do not know about your tank and if the lights and such are good but if you can tell me the specifics such as the type of bulbs.. wattage... types of pumps... etc... then we can help you out!! As far as things to get right now... you will need some test kits... right now I would...

First of all welcome to the forums Now... lets get started... You sure can use regular play sand for you tank... although it is a little more complicated than that... there are many sands as mentioned above that can't be used... this is due to high silicates in the sand... and this is harmful...

It all depends... although they can extend quite large... I suggest you ask for a specific coral(s) and welcome!

you have fish in the tank?? I was under the impression that this was all in the process of being setup... tell me the specs of your tank... you will also need calcium and alkalinity test kits... You can't just does calcium... calcium and alkalinity go hand in hand... I think you need to read up...

If you don't want coralline algae and colorful rocks then you won't need to worry about it.

no

First you will need some sort of powerhead pump.. an air bubbler is not good for saltwater tank... pebble bottom... you will want to go with sand... as far as putting uncured rock in a tank would not be smart.. you will need to cure the uncured rock in a bucket with a pump and some saltwater...

turkey baster... and also try taking some tank water with a cup and then letting the food thaw and sink in the cup and then pour it into the tank.. this way it will sink better.

What is the trouble?

if they are copepods and/or amphipods.. this is good for you tank
