I did the change all in one day to get it over with. It has been about 2 or more months since the change and the test are nitrite 0 nitrate 0 ammonia 0 ph 8.2 . Also I have always had eighter red or brownish algae on the substrat ever since I set up the tank back in Nov. I thought the brown...

Not that much live rock. If you plan to get more I advise doing it now while your tank is still new. The live rock will also add as a biological filter in your tank. Adam

My fish love the brine shrimp and the Aquatrol spirulina 20 flakes. They hate the nutrafin max sinking morsals. They will readily accept the Angel formula frozen food. Adam

Me along with most people to would advise you to get rid of the cc and just use ls. When you eventuall have to chuck the cc the cc and ls would have mixed so you would have to chuck both. Having crushed coral under a sand bed also creates an area for pockets of toxic gasses to form. Adam

After I change from dolimite to ls I have noticed a change in smell, it is sort of like lowtide. Is this normal? Adam

Wonderful tank. Keep up the good work. adam

For moving the water go to a hardware store or wal*mart and get new gasolline cans. When you are done rinse them out good and return them. This is what my friend did. Package everything seperatly and do not feed the fish or invets within 36 hours of move date. Red algae can be taken care of that...

I have power compacts and trust me they are nothin' to write home about. IMO They suck. I am planning to switch to MH Adam.

The retrofit kits, Are they just the lights ballast cord and feflector or do they also come with the hood or cover thing over them? Adam :confused:

Last night i looked over my tank with a flashlight and found a snail. It was a little smaller around than a dime and looked like a perrywinckle ( spelling ). The color was bown. Adam :D

TNreef What is your addres it isn't in your profile? Adam

Is it really worth it though in the long run and if I do do the change does anyone want my pc hoods and bulbs. Adam

They are Eibl's not Eibli. They are also known as orange stripe. The Eibl's is reef safe. I had one for a while but it came down with a blennie I bought brought in. Mine was great at controling unwanted algae and had the best personality. Adam

I want to upgrade to MH but no one makes mh hoods in size 36 inch. Currently I have pc so if I were to upgrade is vho the next best system? Adam

Salinity is low. Bring it up to around 1.023 or with corals up to 1.024 Adam.

The other day I accidentaly nocked over my conlony of hairy mushrooms and some of the coriline cracke. The next day I had a mushroom attached to coriline algae foating in the current. Well instead of buying epoxy can I find a spot on the rock and the mushroom will attach to the rock? Adam

I just got the new AMF magazine and one of the articles was on mollies and how they need salt. Is it possible to aclimate my balloon mollie to salt water and put it in my mini reef? And will it eat marine food? Adam

A few weeks ago my friend and I netted minows and crayfish for the marsh across the street. Well I put everything in a 5.5 gallon tank with a sponge/charcole filter some algae, seawater, and sand and ther tank is doing fine. No deaths. Just thaught I'd mention it. Adam :D

Everyone goes through this. Just be patient. Because your tank is still new do not add snails. Hermits are fine but I had problems with mine. They always ate what I wanted of algae, even a coral every once in a while. I keep mine in the sup to clean. I do feed them every other day and take them...
