it might be that your test kit is bad.what kind are you using? maybe you could take a sample to your lfs and compare it to yours. 15 isnt a bad number of course 0 is always better! salifert is one of the better test kits that are made. am3gross

yeah shrooms are a pretty easy coral to keep. i dont think i have ever killed any of mine. when i first started out i was using pc lighting. now i have dual 250 and pcs and i cant get rid of them! there every where! am3gross

i dont know if i would go with a large clean up crew just yet. how ever i would put a small clean up crew in after the cycle is complete. maybe half dozen crabs and same with the snails. i once put like 5 dozen crabs and 3 doz. snails and my nitrates went thru the roof! am3gross

is it at night time when the tempature drops. if so you could put a heater on a timer to come on after your lights go off to keep the temp at the 80 degree mark. am3gross

on a 90 gallon tank i would go higher then 150 watt mh. i would go for at least 250 watts. 90 gallons are high and the 250 will penitrate the water more. i think that in the long run you would be better off with the 250 because if your like me you will want the higher light coral or you will...

well i think if you look around you might be able to find a dual 250 mh retro for about the same price. i guess it would also depend on the brand that you are looking at. am3gross

the folks from indiana.... do you ever go to premium aquatics? what do you think about them?

i will 2nd the vinegar and razor blade idea. just be careful not to scratch up the tank with the blade. if the blade gets a knick on it it will scratch it all up. just go slow and change out the blades often and you should be fine.... best of luck! am3gross
