The same as now. I'm wondering if its just from the Antired? One thing is for sure. NO MORE chemical treatment. Everything does look a little better tonight. This is a 29 gallon BioCube. I'm adding a Sapphire skimmer this week. Maybe that will help also.

That 135 looks like a 10 gallon on that stand! LOL Thats one big tank.

Welcome to the Forum Ray! What are your parameters? This will help every time you need help. I have found that out myself. If the fish died, the crabs might have eaten the remains. I really don't think the crab just attacked the fish but could be wrong. Anyway, FDNY? Firefighter? What part of...

Bump ..Is there anybody Out There! Just singing Pink Floyd while I'm waiting.

I moved mine to a lower flow area and it opened up by the next day. You might try that.

I was having problems with Red Slime. Come to find out, my youngest son was feeding the tank with pellets while I was out of town. This was about 2 weeks ago. He opened the lid and a bunch (as he discribed it) came out in the tank. It went in the front left hand coroner. The wife said the Fire...

Welcome to the boards Steph. We need a little more information here. Is the tank cycled? What ARE the parameters? It seems like to me that you might be adding to quick if the tank is not cycled. One thing is for sure, you will get plenty of feedback on here. Please take their advise. I'm newer...

Ok.

I would like to get a little information from people using the Sapphire Skimmer. What are people using in the middle sump beside the skimmer if anything? If I remove my live rock pieces I have in there now(2 months ago added), will I have a problems? How is the performance of these skimmers? Are...

Looks great! I have to know. I see that you and done a little work on your stock discharge and added a powerhead. How has this worked for you? I'm getting a little diatoms in the front left coroner and its because of low flow in the coroner. I have a leather sitting there and its cutting down on...

I was thinking the same thing. I would do the water change to lower the NO3. This should bring the Ca back up some. Then use the toothbrush idea and just scrap some off (purple stuff). It will float around and land all over the tank. It worked for me. 3 month old tank and looking real purple.

PH is kind of low. Ca also a little low. hmm 5ish on the nitrite. What are the other parameters? NH, Nitrate, Phosphate, alk..

Test for Calcium with purple up. I was going to add some myself but people on here talked me out of it. Now I'm glad. My coralline is looking great. Good Luck and keep us posted.
