They were bleached before chemiclean was used. Now my xenia is not fully out either. Temp remained at 80 now for 2 days. Could my bulbs be bad in the lights? I could have recieved cheap or bad bulbs? They were purchased off the internet at a bidding site. Catalina I believe made the...

Originally Posted by reefreak29 i noticed u used chemiclean did u have detectable nitrites before using this? because it may have killed off some nitrifing bacteria I honestly did not check. I have been able to keep the temp at 80 this entire day so hopefully that is it and will help.

Are you referring to ther "Engineer Gobie"? I love mine.

Very awesome so far. Are the rocks sitting on anything besides sand? Killer thread. Thanks for keeping us updated.

I am thinking the green tubers are a starting to a macro algea. Very good to have if kept in check.

I was told by the LFS that tested my water last week to bring up the ph, kh and ca. They were Ph-7.9 Kh- 5 Ca-400 I am using "Hagen" test kit Thanks for answering. Oh, ran out out of Oceanic, had to use I.O and then found some Red Sea.

Florida- filled with lots of old non driving farts Cali- filled with to many cars and people traffic jams suck. Ahi or MahiMahi?
