This weekend i change from a glass top to a half eggcrate and half open and added some t-5 light fixtures...anyways i have notice that iam doing more FW top off everyday. Is this normal? should i put the glass on the open side? If i put the glass back on will light penatrate.

the reason why i got is....my tank has been running for 5 months with a single fl bulb and my rock has just a little color to it...so i got a t-5 light fix. and add the PU to speed up the process. I will check my cal. levels and add some every now and then .not going to waste it.

Originally Posted by Tizzo Retest your calcium tomorrow, post where the numbers are. If your at 440, then don't add anymore until that number changes. And you should balance your alkalinity with that. Your alk level should be about 4 meq/L (11dkh) Both numbers are high, but that's balanced...

Originally Posted by jpc763 Glass tops will keep the heat in and will limit the gas exchange. To keep the fish in, you can buy some eggcrate at Lowe's or Home Depot and cut it to size. I had glass tops on for a while but took them off because it made my tank difficult to manage the heat...

Can you add purple up to your tank everyday?............is it safe? ...Can you overdose?

Is it okay to leave a glass top on the tank or will that effect light penatration.. My LFS said that i should take the glass top off ...........I just don't want any of my fish to jump out.

i just pulled out some of my CC today and added about 10 pounds of LS in there...........It was a nightmare! The tank got really cloudy and the fish freakout but everything seems to be ok......I Hope! By the way i used a fishnet to pull the CC out and to add LS.

i have a red sea prizm pro (rated 300gph) on my 80 gal. and it works great..pulls out smelly dark green stuff!! Always producing foam.. It also has a huge collection cup.

I have sponges growing all over the place. Is there something i can do to stop this or is this normal? What is the cause of it?

Thanks for the advise everbody...I am going to try siphoning out the CC and add some LS.... Then im going to leave it alone and start focusing on some soft coral that i want to add to the tank...So im sure i am going to have alot more questions for you guys.
