One week ago i filled a 10 gallon tank with salktwater, bought 13 lbs ls and 22 lbs lr. Split up the live rock between tanks and now the nano has 14 lbs. Here is a pic. I need some major ideas as to -what to change -what livestock to get (want sweet corals) -maybe some pics Still cycling so...

My friend has one that hides quite a bit. It's partially because the hawkfish tortures him like hell. But even with the hawkfish away, the firefish rarely comes out. Cool though

Geez you must have lost big bucks on that ordeal

Back to the green star polyps. Actually, on the contray, I think they are pretty colorful. At least some are. And they spread too. But there are many corals that fit those standards.

Kipass is right. Besides ph at around 8.2, your nitrites and ammonia should always be at zero or you got some problems. the nitrates, however, are anyones game. Mine are only 3 and dropping thank god, but others have anywhere from 10 to 200. They are your last worry, but still a big one.

also the tank is about 8 months old

good info guys. Checked the water params Ammonia - 0 ppm Nitrite - 0 ppm Nitrate - 3 ppm ph - 8.2 Im kinda confused. Ive heard that it has to do with phophates, and im pretty sure i want to remove them. Im using distilled waer and a product called denitrate, so eventually the nitrates will be...

please help I need to get rid of this plague! It just keeps comming back. I remove it, vacuum it, use distilled water, about to use denitrate. I have no idea how to get it to stop.

to clarify the fighting/queen ordeal. Ive had experience with both. Im almost positive the Queen does not burrow istelf in the sand, and the Fighting does.

Matt you must be confused. You CANNOT just change the lights on the top of the eclipse and change it into saltwater. This procedure that was decribed earlier by me and slick is absolutely necessary for making room for more things including skimmer and powerhead. Right now you dont have enough...

what kind of lights do you have?

smart lights are great! great output, 96 watts each, and the encorporate 10k and actinic, creating a great spectrum.

that sure is alot for 12 gallons. Praise to you for keeping it up so well. Im in the process of starting a 10 gallon nano. This is just the lr and ls and filters allowing it to cycle.

Marco333 is my neighbor. He has one light piece with 2 X 10,000 k bulbs and one light piece with 28 watt smartlight. His spectrum is fine, im pretty sure.

Heres my 40 thats slowly becoming a full blown reef. Key word SLOWLY (Im not rich here!)

Yeah you do need to upgrade alot. THe lights i think are most important because you have a good amount of lr and ls and that lights will eventually change your tank permanently> When I upgraded from 0.5 watts per gallon to 5 watts per gallon, my tank just practically blossomed. just IMO

yeah matt remember when i had that bubbler rock? I had so much frickin salt creep i couldnt control it haha. Now i got rid of the UGF and the bubbler and i havent had any trace of salt creep since. no bubbler
