Actually, the Bio-Spira did the job. I just checked my levels again, and for the 2nd day in a row, Im at -
Ammonia - 0
Nitrites - 0
Nitrates - .25
The bio-Spira cycled this tank in under 5 days. Awesome product.
Anyone use it? Two days ago I loaded my tank with Sand (Agrag Alive), LR (about 10 pounds - 20 gal tank...I KNOW I need more LR, but this is what I got) and salt water from the tank that my Tang and Clownfish came from. I put in a package of Bio-Spira and the fish. My nitrites are at .25, my...
He is very small...3 inches long 2 inches tall maybe? Not big at all. Should I get some salt water bio-spira and dump it in? I can have it here tomorrow.
As a matter of fact, they are both kind of just hiding right now, which I suppose is normal from stress. The Clown is just kind of staying in one place and swimming around while the tang does explore a bit more.
not eating yet, but NONE of my fish ever ate the first meal here, LOL...and I am going to be gettng more live rock VERY soon. I do have the heater going as well as two Penguin filters (a 125 and a 170?) ...Where is a good place online to get some LR?
I knew the 20 gallon was a bit small as well. I only wanted a few fish in this tank. I am going to get a 50 gallon shortly and will transfer them over and add more fish then.
The water was from a cycled tank as well as was the rock and such. The substrate was the only thing NOT from a cycled tank already. i just did what the lfs told me to do. I do know about cycling as i did the FW, but the guy said that the water and LR were what I needed and the fish would be...
Hey guys. Cleaned out the old 20 gallon FW tank and decided to make a SW with LR and fish. I went to the lfs and he loaded me up on the sand ( agrag alive sand, 40 pounds) also bought some Live rock (about 4 pounds of it) and some other coral rock that wasnt live. Ended up gettng water from...
All of a sudden, I have a weird smell coming from my tank and the water is cloudy. What could be causing this and what can I do about it? Should I empty the tank, clean it, and readd everything to it? I need to move the tank upstairs anyway, and this would be a good time to do so.
Any thoughts?
the fish are acting fine...the one Lab hangs out in her corner but I think that is from the larger lab chasing her there everytime she ventures out. I see her try to swim out and about and as soon as the bigger lab sees her, he darts towards her and she goes back to her little hideout. So they...
I am seriously ready to just give up. I have been doing this cycle for exactly ONE MONTH today. My ammonia is at 0, but my nitrites are at 0.8 and I have absolutely the SAME amount of nitrates as I have had for over two weeks. They wont go up, but the nitrites go up DAILY! Water changes have...
