Change them every two weeks or so - they say you can rinse them out and re-use is this true? Also do they remove vitamins like selcon or anything? So I should use it then?

I have a small 44 gallon reef tank setup going. I already do bi-weekly water changes and add trace elements weekly for the great colors etc. But I always have problems with slightly high nitrates. I want to add a poly-filter but I read good things and bad. What should I do? If I add the filter...

I've had my 44 gallon reef tank set up for many years now and eveything was going fine until I decided to: 1. Replace the sponge in my sump divider 2. Add a polyfilter pad both at the same time. When I did this my corals shrank up, one fish died, and I've now go brown agea bloom on the portion...

How big of a differnce does using RO water over fresh conditioned (DIY filtered through charcoal and polyfilter) water?

I already have the powerheads and heater in there. Do I need to add a light?

Yep from SWF - great shape and never sat outside at my house. All was really wet still - a bit chilly but wet

I should also say it's a 44 gallon tank

Yes an established tank with 2 fish and other corals, inverts etc... The tank is about 2 years old and I'm adding it to about 10 pounds of live rock plus some other rock.

It's been soaking for over a day in it's own tub and the ammonia readings are normal. Should I wait longer or is it safe to add piece by piece now?

You were talking about float valves earlier - can you recommend a good one to get and where to get it?

I just found 2 1 inch pink little worm like creatures with what look like spikes up the sides of the body. Are these good or bad?

I just got in 25 pounds of live fiji rock that I got from saltwaterfish.com and it looks awesome. Can anyone give me the proper way to add it to my tank. I have a 44 gallon reef with 2 fish so I just don't want to place it iin all at once. Right now it's soaking in a plastic tub in saltwater...

I would like to keep this topic open - I really need the help

Any help would be great!

Here's the skinny Last week I switched filter system from canister to wet/dry. I lost 2 fish and still have 2 remaining (damsel and perc. clown). I have a 44 gallon tank. I must have broken the nitrogen cycle. Although I do have 25 or so of live rock. And I haven't done a water change. My tank...

I would tell everyone to get rid of their sea apple/sea cucumber. They are not meant to be in with fish because as soon as they become stressed they release their intestines and poison the entire tank - I lost 6 fish this was and the pet store guy told me it would be ok. Everything I read about...

I'm about to add about 20 pounds of LR to a 44 gallon that has been established for a awhile. Should I put it all in at one time or over a couple of days?

The reason why I lost fish ( 2 tangs - sensitive to ammonia and nitrites) is because when I switched from canister to wet/dry I did not have connect the bio-wheel so I had not real biologic going outside the tank and I don't have enough live rock yet. I just got 25 pounds that is soaking now and...
