no, they have bio-spira for saltwater tanks now. I've seen it in person. It's out.

I had the exact same thing happen to my tank a few months back. I lost it all. I had the same kind of experience. I did nothing abnormal to the tank nor added anything new. All my fish were suddenly gasping for air and trying to swim to the top. I did everything I could but lost them all in 24...

I think the "cutting the time in half" theory makes sense...

hmmm....that's interesting. Thanks for the story!

looks like I'm the only one here to have purple/pink zoos....

I agree but I'm still curious about it.......

Has anyone heard of Bio-spira? It's sold at a few LFS here in town and it promises that after putting in your saltwater tank overnight in a new tank, that you will be able to start putting fish and corals in the next day without having to wait for your tank to cycle in 4 - 6 weeks when it's just...

thanks....I'd love to hear more from some others have had long running skimmers that are hang on's. Thanks.

any one else with comments?

yes I do have a saltwater tank...or did....but I'm starting it up again. That picture is just a stock picture from a website. I'm using it to show you guys the limitations b/c it's a hexagonal tank. I just wondered if those hang on the back skimmers are just for convenience rather than...

man that would suck to go through all that and 1) either get tired of it down the road or 2) imagine losing everything in your tank due to a spike in your chemicals on that massive of a scale. Too risky.

go buy some joe's juice from your LFS. It works wonders against aptishias.

well, at least I know what it is. I have a very good feeling that I won't have a reef tank come tomorrow morning. I have changed out half the water and adding some prime nitrate lowering chemicals but not a large amount, just the recommend amount. My nitrite level is about normal again. I just...

how do I "run carbon"? I don't know if I've done that before....

well, I still have my xenias and sponges andleathers and a clam but they're all doing poorly. I fear I might have no tank by morning. What else should I be doing to save it?

thanks but I'm too depressed to laugh. :needhelp:
