haha im not the type to get mad and blame other people, and in my eyes your more of an expert then I'll be at this point in time and also your mostly the only one i see always answering questions so with that i see your well rounded because even if you cant answert the question your still reading it which means your learning off others answers ect.
and this hobby is all about trial and error! something will always mess up you just have to learn from it. I'm not expecting this tank to be amazing(but hoping at the same time). Its a learning period for me:p:)

LOL...I read a lot...even if it has nothing to do with me, cause someday it might
you learn a lot that way, and if I am not sure about something I'll tell you that.

latest news:
I think some hair algae is growing but its brown. So I'm not going to keep my light on anymore.
and as I was observing the maybe star fish I noticed 1 white baby like tube thing sticking out of my LR. I'm almost certain this is a baby feather duster. Around the opening of the tube theres little brisstles i guess u can call them.
The end

nah it looks more like a feather duster. seems to be living in holes in the rock and I think i spotted another 2 or 3 of them next to the first one. there more to the back of the top rock and to small to get a pic of. That middle cave has so many living things in it. Thats there the clams are, the (maybe) star, and the feather dusters. But there all little babies. I'll test the water later on during the day since i tested late lastnight. The algea you told me not to worrie about since my inverts will take care of it once i add them. So yeah thats it:p

pH - 8.0
Ammonia - .25
Nitrate - 0
Nitrite - 0
Am I going to see a spike soon?
Supposedly as the ammonia goes to 0...the nitrites are supposed to rise...then as the nirites go down...the trates go up..and then down and all should be 0
I got ammonia in my 29g...BUT my nitrites and trates NEVER did rise..

Just keep testing...lol
Ammonia has to be 0 anyway

What power head will be better for my 10g tank:
Hydor Koralia - Nano Water Pump (240 GPH)
or
Hydor Koralia - 1 Water Pump (400 GPH)
And does anyone know if this is a satalite fixture?
Coralife 20" AquaLight Fixture - 1 x 96W
and would this light be good for my tank?
or should I go with the:
Current-USA:
20" Orbit 2*40W SunPaq PC Fixture w/Lunar Light and Fan
I know the coralife fixturte has a higher wattage so I'm guessing that one would be better? But I want to go for the open tank look. I dont want a full hood on my tank if its possible.
Thanks!
