I take it the tank is new since you are asking about adding cleaners. What brand of test kit are you using? Some are know to give a false positive result for ammonia. It sounds like your cycle is done given the other readings. I'd add some cleaners to start working on the algae and keep up...

I just upgraded the lighting in my 55 to 2x65w PCs and 2x65 actinic 03s. Now that the lighting is "reef ready" I'd like to get something that will likely host my 2 clowns. Is the lighting I have adequate for a bubble tip anemone? If not, does anyone have another suggestion (anemone or soft...

I paid around $140-$150 for 45 pounds, including shipping. Thats, what, about $3/pound. I was very happy with how it was packaged and shipped. I got it within 24-hours of it being sent (California to Arizona), so I'm sure that helped with the very little die-off. Corraline was great on some...

I placed 2 seperate orders from an online retailer and was very happy with both. Email me if you'd like the site. You won't get many responses to this thread since no other websites can be given. :nope: mbrands@cox.net

Hmm. Interesting. Thanks for posting the thread. Mine all eat fine right now, so I think I'll save the idea in case anyone gets sick. Thank though.

If you want to torture and possibly kill your fish, it can be done that way. Most of the users here prefer a more humane method and recommend either using a cocktail shrimp and/or putting food in the tank (without any fish).

Originally posted by SSLimShagy after then tank cycles again the levels might go down alittle due to the live rock? This new cycle is due to the LR. If ammonia is back to zero then hopefully this is sort of a mini-cycle and will be over soon. You should do some research on the fish you have...

The damsel is the only fish that is suitable for a nano tank of that size. If someone at ***** told you they'd be ok do NOT trust that person anymore! You need to get new homes for the other 3 fish. Return them if you can or see if another local fish store (LFS) will give you store credit to...

It is up to you. Look through the ones they sell here on the left sidebar. Snails, hermits, crabs, shrimp, etc do not require any special lighting. p.s. LOVE your new avitar!!

1. Exactly what kind of fish and what quantity? 2. What exactly are your water parameters (temp, salinity, etc) 3. Was the LR you added cured? My guess is the LR was not cured and you started another cycle. Its too late to remove the LR now, so you'll probably have to do frequent, small...

Originally posted by jedi All food is soaked in garlic. Why? Is the food more palatable or is there something beneficial in the garlic? Thanks! I feed my star and puffer krill and cockle. My 2 clowns mostly eat a flake food, but I supplement with thawed brine and marine mixes. I also use...

Originally posted by bolt696 Like a massive orgy :cheer: I grab a few extra long straws if I get fast food to help flip snails and spot feed my star.

Take "the little guy" back to the store now! He will die. You need to test a lot more than just salinity and temperature. You need to do more research about "cycling" a new tank. Read other threads on here or use google searches. Here is another great place to start...

Originally posted by Scorphntr It might be worth it to just start your tank from scratch with new water instead of trying to fix water that is already crappy. The water shouldn't be that bad if you use a gravel vac to suck it out before all the crap gets stirred up from the bottom. I'd still...

Probably not in a 90 gallon tank. I've got 4x65 PCs in my 55 and I don't think I'd try clams.

I've never moved a tank, so others might have some better suggestions. I would suggest getting a large rubbermaid tub. Put all the rock, sand and water into the rubbermaid. Get some bags from your local fish store (LFS) to bag the puffer and corals. I'd see if they also have an insulated box...

You probably won't see another cycle. Others on this board have done the same thing and didn't have any problems. Since you kept as much of the water as you could and all the LR, you still have all of your beneficial bacteria. The only issue might be how much "gunk" was in your CC.
