Yea im thinking of going fresh water... I had a all fish tank and worked perfect until my girfirned messed it up and then tryed to convert it to a coral/fish tank... Fresh water seems alot easyier... But thanks for the help anyways.. I wish there was a good site like this for fresh water tanks...

I also got 120 lbs of live rock I put in a long time ago.

I got real good light I got the JbJ or JBL lighting I forgot cost me like $500 for it.. As far as the cycling goes thats over with I already did the cycling..

ok sorry took me so long to reply.. I did a water Test everything is perfect.. I did at one time just had a salt water tank with dead corals and used copper.. Yes I herd that the copper will kill the new coral and everything... So this is what I did and why I dont think its copper.. I took out...

I have a big problem with certain things dying in my tank always.. It seem that every Invert I put in my tank in dies withing 24 hours or snails they die too.. Also I put in my first "live coral" 2 rocks with these green mushrooms on them.. the guy at the store said these are almost impossible...

I got this alge thats dominating my tank majorly. Its green and Now Very long (up to 5 inches high) and is everhwhere! Is there a way to get rid of it. I just set up my reef tank and the cycle is finnish and abotu 1 week after the cycle this stuff grew Super fast.

wow thats nuts 10-1 wow.. Since I live in nj its prob gonna be 20-1 lol just kidding.. I see its gonna be a bit of a pain to start this tank eheh but it will be worth it.. BTW the RO/DI unit are they had to install and use? [ July 27, 2001: Message edited by: newbietanker ]

well I got a 120 gallon tank.. If I wear to buy it fromt he store it would take alot of jugs eheh and it would cost more in the long run prob... Plus I rather have cleanest water possible insted of used water.

ok thanks for the info.. what ill do is Ill take my tank now fill it with filters and copper eating liquids metal sponges maybe even carbon and take all the water out after hmm 2 weeks and fill the tank up again with the RO/DI water and that should be like a fresh new tank.

Well that I dont agree with.. I found my solution to the problem.. my tap water is whats causing the copper not the tank... What im gonna have to buy is the RO/DI kit so I get clean water.. As soon I fill my tank up with the water im gonna use filter pads and the metal spong in there for 2 weeks...

I have a tank that used to be a fish tank and im converting it to a reef tank.... I tested for copper because I used copper a LONG time ago and my tank said I have a very small amount of copper in it.. I could a filter pad that changes to a blue color when it catches copper and had it in for 5...

I know how the cycling works for fish tanks but is it different than reef tanks? Im gonna put live sand and Live rock at first. My question is this... Do I have to make the water cycle before I put this in or no? It sounds a little stupid but since the sand is "live" I dont want to make it...

ok cool Ill do that.. thanks
