Remember, it took a year to get to this point, it's not going to be corrected in just a couple of weeks.

 

[kentucky boy]

i know it's going to be a long slow process
so do you think it would be ok to add a coral?

 

[bang guy]

If it were me I would work on getting the tank healthy first.

 

[stdreb27]

What livestock do you have in that tank right now? And what do you feed em?

So Whats Up With Replacing A Mh Bulb Evey Year??????????
I have tried the Odyssea bulbs and they don't quite last a year. After about 9 or 10 months they stop putting off enough light for your corals to grow.
Where are you from? Any where close to Elizabethtown?

Flake food is a terrible thing to do to a saltwater tank. You could end up with excess nutrients in the water and this can lead to excess cyanobacter and nusiance algae.

You might consider going fresh with your food vs the flake and pellet use, if I'm not mistaken they use po4 as a preservative.

no not real i am right by Cincinnati

 

[kentucky boy]

ok so what should i be feeding?

 

[kentucky boy]

ok good news did a 6 gallon water change with R.O. water got home from work & no CYNO on my L.R. getting ready to test water will post results

 

[stdreb27]

I make a mix of whatever seafood I have in the freezer, shrimp oysters some white fish squid and whatnot, drop a clove of garlic then add some zoacon a couple sheets of nori and blend it up and freeze it.

 

[kentucky boy]

ok i might look into that where do you get the zoacon & nori sheets?
water prams
S.G. 1.025
NITRITE 0
NITRATE 2.0
AMMONIA 0
PH 8.2
so what do you think?

You really need to test for phosphates. And continue to increase your water change schedule until the no3's are gone. A good LFS will cary nori sheets (seaweed) and zoacon. You can use other marine vitamins. There are several good ones.

 

[kentucky boy]

ok i will go get a test for that & look into the food thing
