Classical music, loud in headphones, as it syncs with peoples movements around me. My children, as they are 3 and 5, having their "off the wall" conversations. Daughter (3) to son: Ewww, you just let a stink bomb! Son (5) to daughter: Maili, I didn't fart, it was just my butt blowing off a...

If it is diatoms the increaced flow I mentioned before will help with that....

I have brown stuff like this on the sand even after I just siphoned out most of it and its been only about 8 hours. Unfortinatly I am on my cell phone and its not pulling up the pix. Sorry. Ur explaination would lead me to think diatoms, but I can't see the pix sorry........

I would recomend at the least 1 more 1050 or 1400 if not 2. I ran 1 1050 1 750 and 2 550s in my 55 and wanted more. 550s are wothless in that big of a tank IMO. If cost isn't an issue I would go vortech mp-40.

OK well thank you and if I wanted to keep from getting that much as i had how should I prevent it a small powerhead pointing towards the sand but higher up and what else will help keep the sand clean and airiated and such. If I were to get a powerhead how much gph. What do u have flow wise in...

Your hard work was rewarded! Congrats!

What is your procedure of changing your water? Are you preparing your own water? If so are you using RO water to do it? If you are using LFS water, check the water for Nitrates. Water changes are the best way to reduce them quickly.

I have never heard anything good come of the quick cures when it comes to diseases for fish. Corals are usually a lot easier! That's why i focus a lot of my tank time on the corals, they make nice "decor" .

Have you tried low placement aimed towards top of tank with your power heads, that way no direct water flow at the sand with water agitation on the top?

Eels, puffers, Triggers, and wrasses, but those have to be mixed and matched just right (look up a salt water fish compatibility chart). That would take a lot more then what I know, cause as far as they go, I know as much as you on them. I know reef tanks, sorry.

Do you have the 100g tank yet? If not, shoot for a bigger tank, if so, I would recommend choosing maybe a predator tank?

I think you should look into the triggers you mentioned in another thread. Better chances of things working in that tank long term, and success of living.

Very nice, how long was your turn-a-round?
