Hope you have metal halides or strong lighting for that anemone.

Will i encounter any type of problem by switching salt mixes? I'm currently using Red Sea and Id like to make a switch.

I started using this stuff 3 days ago. I put a capful(5ml) in every day(46 gallon). It says it immediately raises dissolved calcium levels. My calcium level has not gone higher than 340. How long does it actually take for it to raise? I dont get it.

clowns, green chromis, damsels...all i can think of right now.

Originally Posted by jdragunas those look like air bubbles. YOu have to top off your tank, because water evaporates. When you do this, add freshwater (Because salt doesn't evaporate with the water) do this until the bubbles stop, and then some more. As for the cleanup crew, i disagree with drew...

You bought all these and added to your tank at one time? What size is your tank?

IMO get the biggest possible tank you can afford.

When your done cycling get your nitrates as low as possible by doing water changes. When they get to 20 or less and it stays that way for a week, then its time for the clean up crew. Add cleanup crew let them go to work and make sure everything is ok with them and your parameters are stable. Id...

Some test kits are known for showing a .25 reading in ammonia. Try another ammonia test to see what that reads. Which kit are you using?

I agree with treybomb about not putting any live stock in there until the cycle is complete. I wouldnt worry too much about the salinity right now. You can raise it when the cycle is over and you do a big water change to lower your nitrates. If your going reef tank than keep your salinity...

I have pc lighting and heres my schedule. 11am Actinic ON, 12pm Daylight ON, 7pm Daylight OFF, 8pm Actinic OFF.

I did the same thing. Had it setup. Redid it and hated it. You just gotta keep playing around with it until you get it the way you like. Took me a few hours to do. Now is the time to do it before you add livestock. Good luck! http://photos.yahoo.com/drew101576 in case you wanna check out my...
