the test kit i use is made by "doc welfish", it was the same kit the lfs used to test it and it came with the same results. i haven't tested my ro water, thats a good idea though, do you think there is nitrates in the water?

my test kit is a a year old and i had it double checked by the lfs and it was the same as my kit. im sorry not my alk, my ammonia is 0 i haven't checked my alk, ill have to get a test kit for that. yes i have a skimmer, i still pulls out some waste or whtever it is

thanks for the reply but im not cycling my tank, i have high nitrates and i have been doing about 10% water changes every 3 weeks and i still can't get them down. the tank has been set up for about 3 years now. my lfs said that this "prime" stuff will make the nitrates not toxic so i can add sps...

my lfs said that it detoxifies nitrates so that they are safe, is this true or are they just trying to sell me somehting to make money. thanks

they could be bristle worms, can you get a pic of them?

i wanted to know if there is anything i can put in my sump to help keep it clean. like cucumbers or snails, what type should i get to help keep it clean. thanks

sweet i put a ball valve on the return, so it slowed the return down and it looks like its working. no leaks yet. its kind of loud, but i guess ill get used to it.

ok i finally got the siphoning part down and now ill add a ball valve and a union in there.im a little out of santa maria. thanks for the help

do you think if i just put a ball valve in the pvc and then close it half way will work or do you think that would ruin the pump.

no there is no valve on it at least i can't see one.

alright sweet i got the siphon to start flowing but now i have another problem, my pump that pumps it back into the tank pumps the water too fast, so i think ill have to go and get a smaller pump.

so what just put my mouth on the end if the u tube and start sucking until it is flowing? ill give it a try thanks

hi this is probably an easy question, but i just bought an overflow and i want to know how you start it from siphoning from the main tank to the sump. the type of overflow is an e sump for up to 100 gallon tank. any help would be appreciated. thanks

i bought mine in Santa Maria at "lost world pets"

ok, i fainally got a medium size foxface about a week ago and i haven't seen him eat any of the calerpa. Do you think i should give him a couple more weeks and than try to pull it off with my hand?

bullitr, i'll trade you for something, tell me what you want to trade and i'll give you a couple of handfulls of this stuff. email me lowe93444@yahoo.com

I have a lot of little polyps growing on my rock, do you think they can last long enough out of water untill i get off all the calurpa? I'll first see if the foxface will eat it and then if he doesn't, i'll have to pull it off manually. thanks

I think i'm going to have to go with the foxface, because he sounds like an all around good fish and a little more suitable for my tank. I'll go get one this week, how long do you think it will take for him to start munching on it?
