But you can't guarantee a "heavy metal remover" will get it out of the silicone. She'll have more deaths on her hands that way: all of her inverts. That's what hospital tanks are for.

All black.

Awesome. As for corals/nems just look here. https://www.nanotuners.com/pages.php?pID=4 You can have whateva you liiike.

I don't recall anyone here citing any websites. We're not new to the game either. We've either been in your shoes, or seen other PEOPLE (not websites) who have been there, and their fish die of stress, or stress-related illness. You don't need to be rude to people who are just looking out for...

I would really recommend larger, more frequent water changes. You can do as many water changes as you want(need) to get your levels below 0.25ppm. That means you can do back to back large PWC's. Also you should really consider rehoming the RTBS (assuming we're talking about the red-tail black...

Yeah, I agree to check with them. I really do hope it's legitimate.

Not necessarily. There's a good possibility you can, I just really can't tell you since we're unsure who really made it. If it's a decent brand, then yes. If it's some cheap chinese e-bay brand, probably not. The only way to tell would be through a par meter ($$$) or testing a frag you already...

Although the bulb looks like Evil's, it doesn't seem right. The printed voltage isn't right, nor the wattage. I could be wrong, but alongside the dimness I'm not sure it's Evil's par38. JMO. Either way, the coloring is good. Makes me wish I had got one. Nice frags too.

I'm not sure I understand, but transferring water won't help your cycle. Water isn't cycled, the media/substrate/rock is.

Which place is this? We might have to check it out sometime when I go back home.

Well I'm assuming the ADA is a 60-(x) model, because that guy is out of his mind if he'd sell a large ADA tank for $100 dollars. If the ADA and Mr Aqua are around the same size then these are the 60- models. ADA Cube Garden Rimless Aquarium's // Standard Sizes So it's a good deal regardless.

Assuming blue is ecoxotic and 20k is nanotuners, I'd skip the blue and get the 20k. It's nice, it's not overwhelming. As for my tank, I do love it. I will admit it's lesser quality than ADA. Glass is higher iron, silicone isn't as clean, but it's nothing I notice really ever. I posted pics of...

I personally don't think 20k is too blue. It's a popular pick. True blue is typically not used singularly, though. IMO 20k and true blue together would be a little too blue, so I'm not sure what you could do with the true blue bulb. Do you know what brand it is? That could help. One brands "20k"...

Par38 wouldn't be too much, I only suggest a Par30 instead because it's smaller,cheaper, weaker: overall better suited for a pico. If you want a par38, go right ahead. You just might have to mount it higher so you don't torch anything. If you don't want to use it on the pico, Par38's are a...

You're making it off-topic as well by saying that? I didn't miss the point. I got it. It's just not a good analogy for the situation. Thanks for undermining my intelligence though. Anyway, good luck Carey. I really do hope he makes it out okay.
