No prob.

They are very very small. Like the size of a pinhead. Most likely what your seeing are pods. Its a good sign. h*

Do not add any livestock until your cycle is done. This site has nice packages for 55 gallons. IMO adding things to speed up a cycle isnt right. Just let the tank do it on its own without any chemicals.

If your tank is newly cycled order a clean up crew only. Then wait a few weeks then order a fish. Try and add 1 fish at a time. Wait at least 3-4 weeks between additions to be sure the tank can handle the increase in bioload.

All bowfronts have that bar for support. You should not have cut it off. I would try and call the company who makes that tank and ask them how you could replace that top piece.

Nice but didnt you just add something like a week ago. If so you really should wait a few weeks in between livestock addition. Should allow your tank to handle the increased bioload.

Not only that you killed 2 damsels. Your definitely doing something wrong.

Looks nice!! Please tell me you cured that LR in a seperate container before you added it to the tank? Unless you got fully cured LR locally, which should still be cured in case of any die off.

Sorry for saying this but please dont take it the wrong way. I mean 74 degree tank, 0 nitrate in 2 months, star in a newly cycled tank, 7.8 pH, not acclimating your livestock correctly, no skimmer yet, using tap water for top offs(at least get some RO water from Walmart 58 cents a gallon). I...

Look good to me. I use the saem kit. Nice!

Any recommendations on how often theese should be cleaned out? Tank has been up for 4 months now and i havent done anything to them.

Ive got a 46 gallon anf if i remember my heater is 200w. IMO a heater is a necessity to maintain proper temps with no more than 2 degree changes.

I just raised mine from 1.023-1.025. I mixed a bucket to 1.028 and used it for top offs. It took about 6 days to get it raised. Everything is still alive and kicking so I did it right. Good luck Lisa

Looking good. Good luck with your cycle. Now is the time to add LR.

Id say there is no best live rock. I think its personal preference. I went with Tonga rock. Eventually ill add some different rock.

Sounds like diatoms. Any way of getting a pic of it? Its common in newly started tanks.

How often should these be cleaned? I have a cylinder shape one in my over flow box and 1 pad in my wet/dry right before the bioballs.
