    Ammonia test

    I upgraded my tank a couple weeks ago. I have been testing for ammonia daily since that upgrade, expecting a mini cycle. Ammonia has been reading 0.2 since I started testing a couple days after I moved everything into the new tank. In the last 2 weeks it hasn't changed at all. No increases...

    Sump/refugium issues

    I recently upgraded my 55 gal to a 125 gallon. The tank is up and running. I moved the sump/refugium from my 55 to the 125. Initially, I only had one of the 2 overflows active because my return pump wasn't powerful enough to equal the outflow. I bought a bigger pump which has plenty of power...

    Quarantine

    Looking for opinions. When you quarantine new fish do you treat them for possible disease or just watch for a problem and treat if something shows up? If you routinely treat them what do you prefer to treat with?

    Quarantine tank

    I currently have a 55 gal reef tank with a 20 gal refugium. I have kept salt water fish for many years then took down my tank after a crash caused by a 3 year old deciding the fish were hungry and feeding them an entire can of flaked food. Now that she is older I decided to start over. I...
