Thanks, ya'll...lights on! cc in tx

Do not vaccum...EVER? Water change from top of tank only? Also, looking at the box my powerhead came in...it is a JBJ submersible SP 1800. All it tells me is for the the flow is about 100 L/H (i assume liters per hr?), with a lift of a little over 1.0 m (meters?). My tank is 37g, about 22...

I've just restarted my 37g tank with dsb. Added fish food for last couple of days. It hasn't started it's cycle yet, so I wanted to get opinions before it did. The first time around my tank had begun to look pretty good, although the levels were high and the cc I had was horrid, so I took the...

After reading here and there...do I need to keep my lights off during the cycling period? And my powerhead...on or off? No fish...just LR and sand. cc in tx

While carefully studying my rock I discovered something living in it. I can't tell what it is, but from the end I see it looks like one of those worm things from that old Kevin Bacon movie (Tremors?), but it could be some sort of clam...maybe? It kinda opens a little, then closes when I shine...

I am VERY new to this, and seem to learn better by mistakes, so other than this one piece I am not qualified to give advice...NO FISH YET! I've already made that mistake! Spent 3 months spending needless money and chasing my tail (which I NEVER caught) and feeling horrible guilt over almost...

I've had my 37 gal. tank for 3 months. Crashed it (I used tap water and I think mine is bad). I stupidly put in 3 clowns and now I know that was a bad thing. Anyway, they had been temporarily relocated and I have completely started over. I went from cc to sand, and am using RO water. I put...

I am very new to all this, and my first attempt was an awful experience, but I have learned a great deal from reading ALOT on this forum, as well as others. To make a long story short...I have temporarily rehoused my 3 little clowns, and am about to completely change out my tank. I am going...

One more (or maybe two) questions... 1 - I'm understanding in addition to redoing all the water, adding a bunch more LR, and continuing with the patience, I need a skimmer...right? And I can go with the prizm and be ok? 2 - I think since I have the Eclipse, and even I have wondered about the...

LFS sells lr for 11.99 lb. Suggestions on better source that is reliable?

Thanks for all the posts and info on reading. I think I am headed towards some major changes with my tank. Lesson learned!

A couple more questions... 1. What do you mean by curing LR? 2. When should I think about a clean up crew? Does that need to wait until the tank completely cycles? 3. So I put my clowns in the 3 gal. tank and do water changes often...about a third? and what is "often"?

Thanks, ya'll for the posts. I think a full water change seems appropriate. My daughter has a 3 gal eclipse she never used. Can I put some of the water from my tank in it, and board my clowns there for a few days while I start things over?

I need some help, please! I bought a tank about 2+ months ago, and it still looks yuck. Maybe I'm not being patient enough, but if that's the case, someone please tell me. I have a 37 gal tank with Eclipse bio wheel. Crushed coral, limited live rock, and 3 clowns. I would have done things...
