Hey SubVillian, how did you get your calurpa or whatever plant you have in your refuge to grow so good?

ok, do you have any other suggestions on how to get nitrates down ecxcept for water changes? i have been doing 20g water changes a week on a 110 gallon tank and they still haven't gone down. i rinse my filter pads once a week too. thanks

ph 8.2 nitrite 0 ammonia 0 nitrate 30-40, i'm doing 20g wate changes a week and still won't go down. i have metal halides & actinics the tank has been set up for about 2 years with me and a guy i bought it from had it for about 8 years, so it has been setup for a while. i guess ill try a cheap$...

Hi, i wanted to know what would be the best protein skimmer for a 110 gallon. Price range no more than $200. thank you

you can put astroturph on the inside of the lid, thats what i did with mine and he didn't get out. they are verly cool though.

what about montipora capricornis?

ok so some are more hardeier than others and some aren't. thanks for the replys.

are montipora hard to keep, i'm just doing reasearch on them becasue i'm trying to get my nitrates down before i buy one, but are they one of the harder corals to keep. i have metal halides. thanks

ok, in my sump i have about an inch of this green powder stuff(i think it is detritus) my question is there any thing i can put in there to clean it? Do you think this could be raising my nitrates? i would siphon it out, but its the same level, so it doesn't really siphon. thanks

i am on well water, so do you suggest i should use it when im adding new water to my tank or no. thanks

maxalmon - i am not using a canister filter, i just have an 80g sump with calurpa and purigen. do you think that i should add carbon along with the purigen? ophiura - i don't know how many pounds of live rock i have becasue i bought the tank used and he didn't tell me when i bought it, i do have...

do you think i should just get rid of the pads? or just clean them more

i rinse them out once a month sorry, but i don't really know what harvesting is, so i never harvest it. ill pick a better quality test kit up to see if there is any difference

ok how big of a water change do you think i should start with and how often? the water just goes through foam pads, then purigen, then i goes to my calurpa, then skimmer, and back up to the tank.thanks
