I have a couple of questions re: Q Tanks/Show Tank
I have had my show tank for approximately 2 months. It is a 55 gallon tank and I have 50 pounds of live rock with a protien skimmer. I am *trying* to go as slow as possible as I have a friend who overstocked her tank and lost all of her fish so I have 2 damsels and a turbo snail in there. I saw a Coral Beauty at the local pet store yesterday and it appears to be really healthy. The employee said they have had the fish for about 1 week and it has been acclimating really well. I decided I would wait for a couple of days before I go back. Getting to the point....... I had the two damsels in the Q Tank for 3 weeks and my nitrite levels were high. I was changing the water regularly; however the nitrite levels were still high. I am afraid the levels will go up again with the Coral Beauty. I have a corner filter in the 10 gallon tank. Any suggestions on how to maintain the water levels in this small tank? Thanks! Kalisa
