The test kit we purchased checks them both on the same test strip (two pads ones free ones total) But not sure which one (or both) to look for when cycling your tank.... sorry

So far there seems to be no Die-Off But... after my test last night my nitrates are just above 20 and they were steady at about 5 for the last few weeks. LR causing this? All other test came back normal

If anyone remembers, Our Lfs guys went to the keys and harvested their own rock. We just got back from purchasing some and there is litterally a forest growing on every rock :D (can barely see any rock) Just curious to know how lucky we were to be able to purchace the stuff? If anyone is in...

Yes, we found that store on sunday but it was closed :mad: You have a real similar setup to our 125 Good luck with your fish!!

Sorry to hear that grouper :confused: We are so attached to the fish we got when we started, we would be very sad to see one die. Best of luck to you

OK... now any ideas on a clean up crew that can survive in this tank?

Ok guys, we'll take the angel out. :) It was bought before we thought of setting up this tank, and I think Lionfish is right.. we could pick another fish that would fit in better, and maybe be even cooler than the angel. I've seen a pic of a Harlequin Tusk before somewhere, but don't really...

Hi Mark! We're not real versed in the Ways of Saltwater, so not giving any advice here.. just wanted to say it sounds like it's going to be a real nice setup with those fish, and to wish you good luck with it! :)

Hey, Lionfish! Thanks for the reply :) But.. :) Please do not assume that we will keep these fish in this tank when or until they reach full size. We already have plans underway to set up a 300. We've researched the fish compatability and sizes, and know that they will get fairly large...

Our 125g is up and running! Got the replacement trim put on, glass tops, reef and actinic lights, crushed coral, about 80 lbs of live rock to start with. (One of our LFS guys is in FL as we speak hand-picking some more nice rock for us! We'll probably get another 50 lbs from him.) For...

Just a little update for all of you who helped us pick our eel.. :) We bought our little baby Snowflake today, and we just love him to death!! He's about 8" long, and has gorgeous color. The pics on these sites just do them absolutely no justice. He's found himself a nice rock with lots of...

They were feeding the lion live ghost shrimp, but recommended we tried to get him to eat silversides. We ended up dangling one in front of him, and he didn't seem at all interested. *shrug* After awhile, we just figured we'd throw in the ghost shrimp. The grouper had fun chasing some around...

Ok, we're feeling pretty dumb here. Got a new lion fish, and don't know how to feed him. Here's the situation.. we have some live ghost shrimp for him, but we can't just throw them in the tank, because our pig panther grouper will eat them before they hit the water. We also have some...

Thanks for the help, guys! A Snowflake it is then. :)

Has anyone ever had a Tesselata Eel, or have any info on them? We all really love the way it looks, but I think they're fairly rare. We're trying to really get a grip on what we're going to put in our tank. I've heard great things about Snowflakes, but never heard anything on a Tesselata...

We are starting a 125 and added 100#'s of cc even though we rinsed it, it was still cloudy for 2-3 days. Water is crystal clear now in its 5th day Good luck

We recently set up a 125 gallon tank. Water has only been in it for a little over a week.(not ready for fish or rock yet) My lfs's tell me that ordering or buying any LR this time of year is a waste of money because of the heat( currently high 90's in the midwest) they say by the time it gets...

Our LFS charges $69.99 for a 200g bucket. You got a great price!

I think Corky meant that he/she won't tell anyone about you not having a license! ;)

Our LFS would soak newspaper and wrap the LR, add a small amount of water, and double bag, with brown paper sack to top it off. :)
