Also my ammonia level has been sitting at .25 for about three or four days now. I'm thinking that there may be a piece of dead sponge that I forgot to pick off of the rock before I put it in the tank. Will that eventually decompose enough to not cause any problems?

It seems like my tank is almost done cycling. Ammonia: 0.25 Nitrites: 0.2 Nitrates: 40 SG: 1.023 Temp: 79' Its been up for about 3 and a half weeks now. Is there anything that I need to do like water changes or should I let it finish the cycle?

I don't think that they'll try anything stupid like launch a nuke at the U.S. All they want is the attention and perhaps some bargaining leverage. You see, North Korea is like that annoying kid at school who sits in the back of class constantly being disruptive just for the attention but just...

I currently have two powerheads in my tank at 230 gph. It isn't as bad as it was yesterday but it is still noticable. Should I take out the rock and scrub it down some more?

I recieved my live rock yesterday and I rinsed it all off and placed it in my tank. I was already expecting it to cloud up my water thinking it would all clear up after some time however, since the moment I placed the rock in the tank, the rock made my water a brownish yellow color and its been...

All of these tanks look really, really NICE!

Well, I'll be ordering live rock next week. Will there be enough die-off from shipping to start a good cycle?

What's the best spot in a tank to place powerheads? Right now I have 2 Maxi Jet 600s placed at both ends of my tank pointing directly at each other. Is there a better way to place them?

There are acually two ***** stores located near me. there is the one that I mentioned above that doesen't take good care of their livestock and the other store, one that was built not too long ago, does. I thought maybe they had a set of standards that they follow by when it comes to fish or any...

Luckily, there is a good LFS near where I live that deals in saltwater fish, but little more expensive. But it's probably worth it, thier stock seemed to be more healthy.

Has anyone here purchased fish from *****? I was at one of their stores a few days back and saw their fish they were selling, and most of them looked to be in pretty poor condition.

Is it a good idea to leave your lighting on or off during the cycle?

So while the tank is cycling, does it make any difference if you leave the lights on or off?

Say for instance you don't have moon lights and you have to switch the lights off at night would the sudden change from light to dark scare the fish?

If ammonia gets too high it will begin to kill off the small animals living in the rock. This will make the rock less effective as filtration and reduces the diversity of the animals in your live rock. Does that include bacteria? And to answer NEreef's question, no I haven't cycled my tank yet...

^ Please disregaurd my above post.

Not yet. I'm still waiting on my LR. I read a post on this forum that stated that too much of an ammonia spike could kill off the bacteria. I did some research and couldn't really find any info that supported this.
