[fishey]

What's that suppose to mean?

 

[fshhub]

you just have to test the water, each tank is different,
what will happen is the ammonia will go up and drop then the nitrites, then the nitrates, once teh nitrites and amonia are 0 it is done, this can happen very fast or it cna take some time, weeks to even months, normally with lr it takes weeks(1 to 3, if the lr is cured), so jsut test daily until you see them go up and back down
maitain ph and salinity while this is happening, and do nothing to try and reduce the ammonia nitrites or nitrates, until it is over

I can see FIshey made a huge mistake already. That mistake is he didnt read enough before jumping into this. Your mistakes are probably going to cost you, and they arent cheap.

Why do u think i made a mistake ? I put my heater in i put my crushed coral and i put my filter in where did i messedup? <img src="graemlins//yeahright.gif" border="0" alt="[yeahright]" />

And....it's obvious you have not a clue what you are doing. I've been reading your posts (and not understanding a word to be honest) and you don't sound like you have got it together. Not meaning to be mean (sorry), but how old are you? Your profile says you are 21, but in a previous post you said you were 12 and that mom had to help you with your water etc.
I think you need to get a hold of some books and read up on this hobby. Or, just sit back and read this bb and you will get a plethera of information. Your previous posts were almost impossible to understand, albeit entertaining!

My bro is 21 im 12 and crushed coral is easyier to clean. ( thats what i heard from people on this forum )

 

[mr . salty]

I doubt if any one here said that CC is easier to clean,The reason being is that you DON'T NEED TO CLEAN SAND AT ALL.

 

[fishey]

I see. Well i have the cc in my tank already what i do now?

 

[goldfish]

You may want to change your profile then. It says you are 21 with you being born in 1980. YOu have to be upfront and honest with everyone on this bb or you will get F-L-A-M-E-D!!!

 

[c-l-o-w-n-f-i-s-h]

Ok my new name.

 

[mr . salty]

OH BOY,,,Changing your name is NOT what he ment.But KEEP THE SAME NAME,just be TRUTHFULL.I'm starting to get as frustrated here as many other members.You need to straighten up,or ship out.Others have been banned from this BB for less than what you are doing(lying,disrupting the BB),so get it together.

MR Salty, I think he changed his name so he could register himself, and not use his brothers name. This would make sense so there would be no confusion as to what he had or mis lead us on his other posts that might have been posted by his brother.
Is this right CLOWNFISH?

 

[c-l-o-w-n-f-i-s-h]

Yes that is why jester. But if u want me to keep the other one just tell me i dont want to cause people probs no more. <img src="graemlins//dead.gif" border="0" alt="[dead]" /> <img src="graemlins//yeahright.gif" border="0" alt="[yeahright]" /> <img src="graemlins//dead.gif" border="0" alt="[dead]" />
