Wait until your ammonia really spikes, then if there is any shrimp left take it out.

Fish only 1.022-1.024 Reef 1.024-1.026 If you have inverts in the tank, they prefer the reef range of sg.

I do 10% every 2 weeks. Which is 5 gallons for me.

Actually thinking of switching to the Dual Orbit from Current. It has 4x96w bulbs. 2 daylight. 2 actinic. Its a step up from what i had. Which was the dual satellite. Only 2x96w bulbs.

...back to PC lighting and getting a more powerful unit than i had. I like the metal halide but im starting to feel like its too much light for my tank. It seems like its overpowering all the color in the tank. Cant see coralline as good anymore. I dunno. Im confused. Help me out. Seems like its...

Not enough light. If you wanna keep all kinds of corals youll need metal halides. 260w will only give you 3.5 watts per gallon. You need at least 5 watts per gallon.

I personally wouldnt put plastic decorations in a saltwater tank. IMO that stuff is better of in freshwater tanks. However, its your tank so I cant tell you how to set it up. I would be careful with it though. If they are painted pieces it could leach toxins in the tank causing problems. Id be...

Mine is slightly off level also. Mine leans forward. Been bothering me for the past year but i havent had any problems. If your just starting the tank up I would empty it and level it off. Level the stand, not the tank.

Nice setup. If your going to add more LR then now is the time to do it. Your cycling, so do everything now to avoid problems in the future. You need some sand in there as well. Id say 20lbs of live sand will do the trick. This will most likely kick start the cycle again. Good luck.

Oceana has great quality frags and very nice shipping. Thanks.

When i got my refractometer i ran over the deep six hydrometer with my car.

Let it all run. You dont have to run the lights but if you do, put em on for like 6 hours a day.

Definitely QT it and watch him. Im pretty sure its illegal to take stuff from the ocean so be careful. Those are some big fines if you get caught.

I heard alot of good things about the Typhoon III and the Maxxima units.

Excellent frags and packaging. Im more than happy with the purchase. Thanks. I look forward to future purchases.

Damm! i filed, got my chack and spent it back in the beginning of march.
