Did my water test today and I'm glad to say everything was down to zero (ammonia, nitrites, & nitrates). I guess it's okay for me to start adding cuc & fish.

Is there any Corals that I can add to a tank that has low level lights such as a fluorescent bulb. Just curious to know if I can add any kind of coral to my fish only tank.

yes I would definitely be interested in that background pic if anyone knows what it is and where to find it. I do have books on swf, but I like to be able to speak with people in order to get direct answers to my questions. Thanks alot guys & gals.

so I checked my tank and I noticed that my ammonia is back down to a zero reading. When I checked it on Saturday it was at 0.8 (on my test kit). My nitrates are at 10, & my nitrites are at 0.2. I think I may have missed out on the high ammonia spiked since I waited for a couple days to test the...

So after a couple days, my ammonia is way up from the cooked shrimp (can I take it out now?). I did a 25% water change and reduced it by about 50%. My nitrites are up to 1.0 (I believe) and my nitrates are at zero. I plan to do another 25% water change tomorrow (Monday Nov 8th) and hopefully...

Thanks for the help.

So I added the shrimp to my tank and my ammonia levels are up some, but both nitrates & nitrites are still at zero. I notice that my live rocks are back to normal. I'm seeing all kinds of algae growing all over them. How long should I keep that shrimp in the tank.

Okay, will do. I won't add the cuc until after everything cycles. Thanks guys for helping out.

Yes, I do understand about damsels. I had a domino damsel that thought my tank belonged to him. That fish would challenge all of my fish, including my huma trigga, & my Porcupine Puffer. I had a green wolf eel that I was hoping it would take care of my problem, but to no avail. My bully...

With the dead shrimp, do I have to wait until the shrimp decay before adding livestock? How how much ammonia do I add & how often.

How much ammonia should I add. The first time I set up my tanks, I've never done this before. All I did was start the tanks and let them run for about 2-3 weeks with the Live rocks & sand. Then after the 2-3 weeks period, I added a few damsels. They survived and them I went from there. Is this a...

Got me a nice size raw shrimp and I will put it in tonight. Again, Thanks alot.

Okay, so I'm going to purchased a dinner shrimp tonight and put it in the tank. Should I just leave it in there?

Thanks Jstdv8 I checked my water quality this past Sunday & everything (Nitrate, Nitrite & Ammonia) was at 0. I'm going to check my water again tomorrow to see if there's any change. What do you mean by " assuming that you cycled the tank using something to cause an ammonia spike" I appreciate...

So I moved from NY to NJ and I had to take down my two sw tanks. I had both live rocks and sand in the tank. I have about three 5 gallons water bottle, so I decided to put my sand in the water bottles with some of the water from the tank. Unfortunately I wasn't able to do the same with the...

First off I want to tell you all that I'm new to saltwater.com and after going through some of the forums I decided this was the place for me. You guys have so much information that's really helpful to some of us. Now for my questions, I had two tanks with live rocks and when I moved I had to...
