thanks alix i was thinking the same thing. do you think i am on a good schedual with the bleach??

how old is the tank?? also i would do more like a 50% water change especially if its a new tank with no Live Stock in it yet.

i really dont mind it turning into base rock at all because its going to be going into an established tank. thanks for the advice. anyone else with a different method?? or any experence with the way i mentioned or something similiar to that..

what can i use to clean the rock before the cycle. like soak it is a bleach to water mixture. like 5:1 or 10:1. any input would be great. here is what i was thinking. soaking in bleach mixture for 1 week. soaking in fresh water for 2 days then rinse soaking in fresh water for 2 more days then...

so its ok to use?

hey guys my mom just got back from our house in NC and found some great pieces of rock on the beach. i know its dry by now because its been out of water for close to 1 week. is it ok to use in my tank at home? also do i need to clean and cycle the rock? also would this be considered base...

what if they let you chose for a different level this way you have more of a list to chose from.

by the way my girlfriend looked at a differnt pic of a flasher wrasse and loved it. so there will be a flasher somewhere in the mix.

hey guys did a parameter check this morning: ph - 8.2 amm - 0 nitrites - .25 (down from like 2) this is starting to go great. i started ghost feeding on 4-25-08. thanks for all the help as soon as the nitrites are down to 0 i will do a 50% water change and then add CUC. dont think i am going...

i would recomend reef crystal salt. its packed full of trace elements.

well if you are going to ghost feed then feed as if you are feeding a couple of small clowns. i judge for mine as if i am feed 1 clown in my 30. so maybe do that for like 5 small clowns. i just started to ghost feed so im not sure really if im doing it right. lol... but thats what i have read.

you can have a bad batch of salt. this is not impossible. i would check your saltwater when you remix it the next time. if its still crazy hi then you have a bad batch.. also what are you planning to keep?? reef or FOWLR. if you are doing a reef then go with reef crystal for A FOWLR instant...

nitrate will not harm the CUC if its not crazy high. i would not have added the cheato's this early. cheato's feed on light and nitrates. you need the nitrates to break down the nitrites. but if you havent had a ammonia spike i dont think you will have a nitrite spike. so im not really...

did you scrub the LR b4 adding it to the cycle. if you want to realy jumpstart the cycle buy 2 raw shrimp and add it to the system and let it just sit and decay in the tank. this will help spike the ammonia and help start the cycle. i dont think you really started the cycle yet..

aquascape is a personal preferance.. be patient and just play around with it. you will find a really nice scene yahooo to my 200th post
