I just got a 40 Gal. tank that has been set up for a couple of years.
For free no less!
It has live sand, about 20 lbs of live rock, yellow tang, tomato clown, lawnmower blenny, blue damsel, small butterfly, about 6-7 anenomies, a few snails and blue leg crabs.
It has a Millenium2000 and another filter/protien skimmer combo and a light from Custom Sea Life. I dont know what kind but he said it was expensive.
Ive had it for a couple of weeks now and I am battling the nitrates. I kept all the water when I picked it up. The nitrates were high when I got it. Ive been doing a lot of water changes with RO and its starting to come down..down to 40 range. Does this need to cycle again? I know she was using tap water for the water changes.
Is there anything else I need to do or get for this tank? It has some green alge on the sides and back of the tank but it looks like I'm getting some brown alge now. Is this ok? Two of the anenomies look like they die and then come back to life about an hour later? Is this normal.
