Originally Posted by acrylic51 You have really good water IMO......I'm anywhere between 130-140 coming in..... I was actually surprised myself. I just recently bought a dual in-line tds meter and was shocked when i set it up. Ive seen my tds going in as low as 32.

As far as i know, nothing feeds on cyano.

Coral Magazine is my top pick. 2nd pick would be Tropical Fish Hobbyist.

You need time for your tank to cycle. I only did a water change after my ammonia and nitrite were at 0 and i saw a spike in my nitrate. I did 20% water changes to lower my nitrates to 0. Thats what i was told and thats what worked for me. I was told doing water changes during your cycle will...

Originally Posted by newtankman I have been buying LR at the LPS and just rinsing it with saltwater, and placing it in my tank. It is cured, but should I do anything different? :thinking: Was it fully cured when you bought it from your LFS?

Sounds like pop eye. Check out the disease forum for more info.

I have the HI-S 60gpd with pressure gauge. Works great for me. My water isnt that bad. TDS is about 43 going in and 0 coming out.

How could anyone properly restrain a fish and tattoo it? They have to be hurting it in some way. Thats just wrong. I agree, some people will do anything for money.

You could heat the water up too much leaving the lights on too long. Especially if you have MH. Main concern would definitely be bad algae blooms.

I would get 10-12 more little turbos and about 15-20 nassarius snails. They are great for the sandbed. I personally dont like hermits. They just killed off half my snail population. Even though you dont have much algae, you might start developing more as the tank matures. Im not sure about the...

Originally Posted by thud Exactly, That guy is trying to increase his post count, very lame. Anyway, thanks all for your answers. No. You said "i know ammonia and niTRATE should be undetectable." NiTRATE doesnt have to be undetectable, although it is desirable to have it at 0. What i stated was...

Actually ammonia and nitrite should be undetectable. Having slight reading of nitrate is ok. Just like bang guy said if its above 80ppm then there could be a problem.

BLUE......black is not a color. its a shade.

This site lists it as coral safe but i have heard they sometimes nip on corals. I guess its hit or miss. I would watch him and see what he does.
