specific gravity is 1.022 ph is 8.0 the bags were around 75 when they came in, i increased the temp slowly and tried to keep it steady around 78. the one moved down to the ground when i turned on the lights this morning, and crawled under the rock the other has not moved. he was in the middle of...

i added some new fish that i ordered from here, mainly a clean up crew. a lawn mower blenny (so ugly hes cute, and fairly big!) and a bi color blenny. anyway, one brittle star seems dead, the other started moving this morning, hes weak, but alive, my question is about my clown. beth, if you read...

just got my cleaner crew, my brittle stars are very, not moving . i acclimated for 3 hours. just put them in, is this normal for them to be so lethargic? will the hermits get them while they are defensless?

awesome, of course, i have totally rearranged it since then! yellow bubble looking stuff, i assume is bubble algae?

what is bubble algae? what is corraline algae, i didn't realize live rock spread!! cool, what am i suppose to be watching for?

here is my tank with live rock, 60 lbs. is it enough for a reef system? lots of life on here, finding more every day. 5 dusters? 2 clams and a sponge? and now i have lots of algae, brown, purple and long green grassy stuff. if i need more rock would like to get it before adding fish

thats what i was thinking. good or bad? a keeper or not

sorry i don't have a pic, haven't figured out how to size them down yet, but anyway, on my live rock i found this weird looking thing, it is yellow or gold, looks kind a like jello, has a dome shape with a hole in the middle. the rock has been in there a while and everything else that was gunna...

so how long do you leave them on for? 10 seconds, 30 seconds??? :notsure:

i am running two powerheads in my 55 gallon tank, how do i put them on timers to make waves, how long do i set them for and what kind of timer do you use for this kind of action?

Originally posted by obarrera So my damn tank could still be cycling? I've been doing about 12% water changes every week that's why I don't understand why I have ammonia,and I know my bioload is not that big. water changed while your tank is cycling just prolong the cycle, that could be why...

birdy, thanks! cute kids, don't have twins, just kids very close in age (sometimes i think twins would have been easier) ya, the critters are hitchhikers. the lfs said i could pput some damsels in right away, but isn't that kinda cruel? once my tank settles, i do a water change before adding...

so should you do 10% a week even after your tank is established? or just keep testing water?

I recieved my live rock on 915, it seems my ammonia did its spike and is now leveled out, now my nitrate is at 10 and my nitrite is at 2.0 PH is 7.8. my questions. do the nitrite. and nitrate spike together and is that the 2nd cycle my tank has to go through? what will be next. Will my PH come...

thanks, your words are inspiring, we had coral in the tanks at the ps and they seemed ok, i think alot of it is look,s i do like the look of sand, but really, it is hard to get ahold of stuff and if i would have known, i would have gotten the ls when i got my lr, but, we have the ug filter, have...

I have 60 pounds of rock in my 55 gallon. i was thinking on getting a little more, but i figured there is around 49 gallons of water and that is probably sufficient? say, what is that big tree looking thing at the top of your tank, that thing is awesome! i guess i didn't realize mollies could...

oh wow, just got mine started, i can't believe how great yours looked after a month! i thought you had to wait way longer to put that much stuff in!! what kind of filtration, and what were your steps? I used cc, everyone is yelling at me, but its a little late, am thinking of changing before...

ok, since everyone is screaming that i used cc and a ug filter, i don't have anyone around with sand in there tank, if i ordered some live sand, and mixed it with hardware sand would this work? my tank is already cycling LR been in a week, would still n eed to find sponges to put on ph when i...

got mine at petsolutions.com, for 60 lbs i paid 169. + $78 shipping for tonga kallieni (spelled wrong i am sure). it was the best deal i could find, this sight was about the same (189 for 50 lbs, free shipping) but they were down and had to find another spot. its really nice rock, couple of nice...
