    Wilting toadstool?

    Alright, well as previously stated I moved from a 29 to 72. Some coral did die in my move process, sadly. I had my corals in a 20g tub for longer than I wanted and didn't notice some had died. Nitrates probably sky rocketed in that tub, my thoughts are its releasing any fluids it may have and...

    Wilting toadstool?

    Anyone happen to know why my toadstool is wilting? It's always stood upright and strong. Now it's really soft and doesn't want to stand straight up. I did move from a 29 to a 72 recently. Tank parameters are as follows: PH 8.2 Nitrate 20ppm Nitrite 0 Ammonia 0 Phosphate <.25 Dkh 10.8 Mg...

    Upgraded 29gal to 72

    I didn't either until I saw a local place selling it for cheap. Stock is all moved in. But I have 2 clowns, a bullet goby, watchman goby, dwarf bicolor angel, a dottyback and a firefish plus two cleaner shrimp and whatever hermits/snails I grabbed. Corals consisted of: Torch (may have died...

    Upgrading my 29 to a 72 bow front

    Cool, thats what I was hoping to hear. Now to find the bins/containers to hold ~29 gallons worth of water :P Is there a need to clean the sand? Don't I want to keep the organisms in it?

    Upgrading my 29 to a 72 bow front

    Hey guys got a couple questions here. I am upgrade my 29 to a 72 bow front(as if the title didn't say enough :P). I plan on reusing the water in my 29 as well as my sand and rock. Plus whatever is in my sump will be reused as well(rock rubble, macro algae, more sand). When I do this will I...

    Hello Nitrates - the fight begins

    I do have a notebook that I record all of my numbers in, but I do not record as in depth which I will start doing. I do replace my filter socks when I notice water flow lacks flow when going through. Skimmer gets cleaned at least once a week to once every other week. It looks like I may need to...

    Hello Nitrates - the fight begins

    Yea that will probably be a new habit to start. Do at least one 50% water change per month. Either way I still went ahead and threw in some denitrate in the reactor and did my regular dosing of the no po3x. Sent from my SM-G920V using Aquarium Advice mobile app

    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GYG54O6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 This is the reactor I am running. It comes with a 96GPH pump with a valve I can use to slow down the flow. I am running the Eshopps psk75 skimmer. Should be perfectly fine for my situation. So with my...

    Hello Nitrates - the fight begins

    Sorry I forgot to specify that my sump does have a refugium section running chaeto and grape algae along with a 4in sand bed. Could I get away with running matrix in the phosphate reactor?

    Hello Nitrates - the fight begins

    29g display 5-7g sump So I am dealing with a bit of a nitrate spike. I'm sitting somewhere around 40ppm and would like to bring that down. Obviously water changes will bring that down but I would like to have something else helping. I have a reactor I originally bought for phosphate but my...
