well the general hardieness is related to calcium levels i think.... One is directly proportional on the other. And i would assume that carbonate is a different thing all together though. not positive, anyone know for sure?

my guess owuld be hair algae that loosened and is floating. a common sign in early tanks and ones present with high nitrates

WOW long time since Ive used this thread. Well just to update this thread.... I got rid of the 24 nano cube
and set up a 55 reef
haha so far the 55 has 60 lbs of LS and about 60 of LR. Inventory is a hatian and long tentacle annenome, a few blennys and a few serjent majors (I got these for free). All of the serjeant majors are only a half of an inch and so far they havent been aggressive. other than that, i have 2 green chromises 2 false percs and a black and white clown for the LT annenome. Here are some pics but they will be updated soon with the SMs and Blennies. Feel free to praise or criticize. The tank is about a month old.
