I have had my tank and running as a coral tank for years but decided to tear it down and sun dry the rock due to an evil lobo algae. The sand and a few rocks were kept "alive" in a tubaware container and the remaining rock was sun bleached and left for a month. I started the tank back up as a...

There are a couple options you can do 1.No sand or rock in the frag tank but have a sump with the sand and live rock. Get a canister filter or hang on back filter recomended for that size tank. Put Chaeto or whatever else in the sump 2. Sand but no live rock make sure its a good thick sand bed...

ok I tested my other tan and it had off the chart nitrates insane! So I did a 4 gallon water change on the 29 and a 4 gallon change on the 45 and tested them. There were no difference in the results. This morning I am making 5 gallons up for the 45 since it has it the worst. I tested before the...

and that means................ I did a partial water change 2 days ago and the numbers didnt change by the way

What would cause nitrates in a tank with no fish, only a couple pieces of coral and a couple snails? Set up now for 4 months and used established sand to begin with. I have read alot about how its caused by over feeding or stocking but there are no fish in there and I dont feed the tank I have...

Actually no food at all! He is the first dog I have owned that will sit and stay on comand at this young of age. He started wanting outside to go 'potty' at 6 weeks! Yes I do agree the cat was thinking that hahaha

He turns 9 weeks tomorrow and I am soooo happy I finally have a dog in the house again. After the loss of a pet you really dont realize what you were missing until you get another one. I had to add a pic of fatty for Meowzer

I know I was just telling my friend the other day I need to catch him he is growing like a weed

I finally painted the back of my tank black and WOW what a difference it made. Not only did it intensify the lighting directly into the tank but it just made things look brighter! Now I need to work on hiding the light fixture. Post your before and after pics BEFORE AFTER

Since you are just starting out that is a good start but I would lower the number of Emeralds you put in there to 1 or 2 Once your tank establishes more you are going to want to add more snails or crabs.

That is a nice one
