The Naso and the Achillies would get too big for a 72gal. Minimum for them is at least 100gal. I would go with a yellow tang or even a blue tang.

sure. Thats going to help clear your water up. Its gonna take awhile so be patient. Mine took 10 days to clear up. After 1 week i did a 50% water change and 2 days later it was clear.

Thats what mine looked like for a week until i did a 50% water change and it cleared up in 2 days. Looks like a bacteria bloom.

For the past 3 days, since i added 20lbs of "semi-cured" rock, my skimmer has been gettin alot of stinky brown crap in it. Is this a good thing? My levels have been the same from when i tested 3 days ago and today.

How long does it usually take to see some coralline on live rock? Ive been cycling for 2 weeks with 50lbs which has some color and the new 20lbs i bought already had some color on it. Just curious how long it will take for the rocks to get covered.

Just got 10 gallons of RO water from Walmart at 58 cents a gallon. Not a bad deal at all. I know I know buy a RO/DI unit:D but money is a lil tight right now. I also have the tap water filter. Now my question is, should i use the RO water for changes and the tap water filter to top off the...

I used a 5 gallon bucket with some water from my tank and a small metal brush to scrap off as much of that black crap as i could. I had to empty some water to put the rock in anyway. Eventually it will die off but try and get off as much as possible.

Nice tang. My LFS has a black hawaii tang. It was about 6 inches. They wanted $300 for it.:eek:

I have a Amiracle SL50 wet/dry with a 500gph mag drive pump. 40lbs of LS and 20lbs of regular sand. No clogging or problems.

I have the same lighting. 36inch Dual. There are 4 plugs. 1 for 10K(daylight), 1 for actinic both of these i have on timers. 1 box is for the lunar light and the other box is for the cooling fan. My lunar light stays on all the time. Since its a LED it will last a loooong time. You can also put...

SOunds good. Timers are set for 8 hours a day. Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. Ill change out the bag for a fresh one.

Originally posted by mbrands It looks fine to me, but since you did ask I'd like to offer a suggestion. I like my rock stacked higher so it doesn't look like its all in the bottom half of the tank. I read another posting on here, and used the idea, for safely stacking rocks higher. Put 3...

Is it necessary to run my lights during the cycle? Any advantages or disadvantages?

Ive had a bag of carbon in my wet/dry for about 10 days. Should i switch it out for a fresh one? Im cycling a new tank. Can i always have one in there even with fish and coral in the tank?

You cant really tell from the pics but there are some caves and hiding spots. Ill try and take a few close up shots. I do wanna move some around. But the extra 20lbs i got today has nice pink, orange, purple, green, yellow coralline on it. I have yet to see any hitchhikers. Then again its only...

Any opinions? :thinking:
