Thanks! I can always count on you Ryan. haha

I had a quick question: Whats the difference between Zoos and Zoas? I know Zoa stands for Zoanthids, but what are zoos? Do they look similiar? Thanks guys! Will post my ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate in a bit. Also going to start to get some water going for a 20% water change. Bryan

Bump for the questions. Does any one have any answeres for me? Thanks everyone! Bryan

Looks awesome! That little tank on the thread looks so detailed and fun . Good luck with your new tank! Looking forward to seeing pictures when started! Bryan

I just tested my ammonia and nitrite to see if there was a change. And here is my nitrate I also tested tonight. Ammonia: Still 0 Nitrite: .1 lol...dropped almost 1 ppm in a day. Nitrate: 0 I wanted to keep a list of the corals I am getting at the MASM frag swap (fist swap so im excited ). I...

Just picked up some test kits for pH and nitrate: pH seems to be around 8.0 although it was hard to match up with the chart Nitrate is 0. Hopefully when I do a water change my pH, Alk, and calcium will go back to proper levels. Bryan

Thanks for the replies guys. Im going to wait til I get no readings of ammonia and nitrite. I then plan on doing a water change to try to get my alk. and calcium levels in order. Is 20% too much of a water change after the cycle? After the water change I am going to add my clean up crew. Bump...

Not allowing the tank to be exposed to air seems like it might create a pH problem. Can eels fit through eggcrate? This would allow air exchange. Just my 2 cents.

Update: I like my diary, even if its mostly to myself The tank has been running for two days and I decided I should do a test on my levels: Temp: 80 Specific Gravity: 1.024 Ammonia: 0 Nitrite: 1 Calcium:345 (low) Alkalinity: 12.64 dKH (high) Phosphate: 0 Somehow I misplaced my nitrate and pH...

He is probably just stressed. It is a good sign that he is eating though. I would give him a few days to recover, just make sure to keep a close eye on him and make sure he is eating. Bryan

this thread is already too much for me. The good news in Iraq is that we are there.

Keeping the quality of your water in check and at proper levels will also help the coraline spread after introduced to you tank. Bryan

While I agree that some were not as nice as they could have been. Me maybe being one of them. You did ask a question though, and you did get answers. All of us like SW fish and the hobby, you included, when saying that it is illegal to take anything from the beach or telling you that it may not...

The light itself is not in the chamber. While I bought the tank like this, it seems like a simple mod. If you scrape off the paint type stuff on the back there will be a see-through plastic. Take a box, poke some vent holes in it, and stick a small light in it. Velcro the box to the outside of...

Test it out, see what happens. If you dont have a problem with the tank more power to you, if you get a tank crash...well you took the risk. If you got it from the beach and it was dry its not live sand anyway so you are still going to need to seed it with LR or LS. Bryan

over 80 views and one other post. Lets see them post. Im going to ghost feed the tank for about a week, if I dont see signs of a cycle I am going to add my clean up crew and a PJ cardinal. Bryan
