yeah it sounds like you have some sponges or something on them, nice rock.. Id go with a few astrea snails, red legged and blue legged hermits, and a a couple turbo snails, that should get you started and get a decent crew going, until you need more if neccessary..see if the LFS will throw in a...

all of this talk about Doom and yet not a single mention of Wolfenstein 3D. this game was the prelude to Doom. these were both released as strictly PC, sega got a hold of it way after its had already gone through wolfenstein and two Dooms. Im not a gaming nut, matter of fact i can count on 2...

I wouldnt hold off on the crew.....id say go ahead and get em goin...there is plenty for them to munch on im sure. especially with carnivores around... youve got cyano already?? that tank looks real new. maybe they are brown diatoms?

i meant to add though i really like your tank.. its looks fantastic.. with the cost of those dead corals though you could have had some super nice LR, but i understand the look you were going for, i recommend cleaning them once a week in bleach when you do water changes.....or as needed...and...

oh coralline does grow on them, it just takes a while of course, so in the process youll have nasty looking dead corals, and no coralline. trust me i had a few large pieces in there, and after about 2 weeks they would look crappy again.. so id take them out and clean them, bleach them and wash...

cool man good luck with the tank...but really if you can wait till tuesday do it, otherwise you will have a big water emptying endeavor and then it prolong it even further....but i guess it doesnt matter, i know youre excited... congrats good luck in surgery...

doesnt sound like you are too far from the quad cities check out davenport and moline area there....

make sure when setting up your fuge that you leave adequate room in the ten for overflow. basically do a test power failure and find out how much water dumps in when the return pump isnt on. this way you can figure out where to mark your waterline. are you using a built in or hang on overflow...

figure out what is causing the PH to go down.. has it always been at 7.8? or has it taken a dive? also check your change water make sure the PH is where you want it, and use a teeny bit of buffer with top offs. basically we need to figure what is causing the low PH

sounds good, yes dont forget to post progress reports and pictures... by the way why did you bump this? did you have a question? aaahhhhh and another thing. when you do your test run, use RO water that way you can just mix the salt in with the H2O youre already using...

if you are truly concerned about it melting, you could use two stainless steel rods, cut to fit, and put one on both ends of the tank then remove the center brace... thats what I had to do, worked fine..

that will always give you the warm fuzzies...

ok first a UV can not kill brown diatoms in theory, for they are light thriving. phosphates, lights on too long, new tank (1 year or less), tap water, and nitrates are all big factors in diatom blooms. sounds like you have your possible factors narrowed down. Id say it is probably your tank is...

please put down the mescaline, it is hurting you... :joy:
