I hear they are making a reserve tank for your ATO. Great just what we need an ATO for your ATO. Now all I need is something to change my water and feed my tank things might get interesting

Once its dead there will be nothing left on the rock so it really dont matter. Just like everything else that dies it will cause ammonia but I have always left my corals in hoping. Even after a stone crab electrocuted my 180 gal and almost all my coral died I left them all in there hoping. Worse...

Sounds like you are on the right track just be patient. The tank needs to get established before adding coral. I would still do a water change to lower nitrites as they will kill fish as well. Get a decent skimmer and be patient with it to they take some work to dial them in but once you do they...

That depends on how many T-10s you had in there. If just one then yes it was a step in the right direction but it needed to be a bigger step than that.

Yeah based off of this the coral will probably not make it. First off your light is not strong enough. You salinity is to low you want to be at least 1.023-1.026 for a reef. Try topping off your tank with salt water to try and raise it slowly. You PH is way to low you need around 8.2-8.4 not...

hydor is a decent brand depending on what you are thinking of. For a reef I like at least 30X tank volume. So you looking for around 2250GPH. Now you can accomplish this a few different ways. Do you run a sump? I typically try to get a return pump close to the GPH of the skimmer. The rest with...

Macros are good however most do not have enough room to have enough macro to actually do much as far as nutrient export. And just like a deep sand bed if not properly maintained will eventually crash your tank. Chetiao is a fairly safe bet for a tank but again most people just dont have enough...

What kind of lights do you have? What are your water parameters? What kind of flow is in the tank? How long has the tank been set up? How long have you had this coral? Start there and typically you can find you answer.

No not its going to be very soon if you dont figure out why its dying. Even still it might be to late to save it.

Ok thanks I have always hard cycled my tanks. Guess its what I am used to. Never even though twice about it. Will give this way a try.

Yep not sure why I was thinking nitrogen for. Must have to much nitrogen on the brain.

Not for a qt. I am talking the foam blocks that look similar to this https://www.saltwaterfish.com/product-eheim-coarse-foam-cartridges-for-skim350-2-pk not sure of the size of the one in the link. You would need one thats fairly decent size. There cheap and work. All your looking for is...

For a QT tank you dont really even need a filter but would not hurt. Most just use a sponge filter that they toos in there tank for bacteria to colonize on it then toss it in the qt tank when they need it. that way if you have to treat a fish with say copper after your done you can just toss the...

^^^^^^^^^ shes right you know^^^^^^^^^^^

If I was in your shoes I would use the API kit since you have it. Just keep in mind they are not very accurate so look at the results as a ball park rather than exact numbers. And when you go to your LFS take a sample of water with you to compare. And pick up tests as you go. Honestly you will...

never heard of this so cant say

Those are kind of like unicorns I hear they exist but I have never seen one. I like salifert but they dont sell a whole kit. However just to start you cycle you only really need ammonia and then pick up nitrite then nitrate. They dont have to be all at once your tank will not cycle that fast...

That would depend on your definition of expensive.

Hmmmm didnt look at it like that. Wanted a decent cycle. If you dont mind what do you suggest? Its only been in there about 36 hours.
