    new tank (kinda)

    My advice is to take it slowly. I think your rushing it a bit. You should have 1 to 1/2 lbs. of l/r per gal. The cc is going to be a problem I think. I had it and it kept giving me high nitrates and nitrites. Because the cc sometimes hide the excess foods you feed and the waste from the...

    ATTN: PUFFERLOVER

    I recently removed all the cc and decorative dyed coral out of my tank to give it a more natural look.
