So I checked my levels today. What do you guys thing. Looks like ammonia is down but shouldn't I be seeing more nitrates by now. Also here is a shot of my tank. What do you guys think? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Ok so here is a rough pic of the type of stuff I found. The black rock on top is what I have the most of.. The other stuff you can see is just little tidbits I gathered along the way. I really liked the black rock so I grabbed tons from the surf. So can I use it and will it become Live? Sent...

Hey all I'm at Myrtle Beach and while walking on the beach I found some black porous rock. Could I use this in my tank and eventually seed it as live rock. Obviously it would need to be cleaned well. I'll post a pic as soon as I can. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Here are the current results from today's test. Do I need to do a water change? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Thanks so much for keeping my thread in your scope Bigredsreefs10. Wouldn't have gotten this far without you (even though I'm not too far).. I know this post is a little OT but I thinks its warranted.

This is what I'm thinking as well. How about keeping the larger one and adding a smaller one on the opposite side. Do you think that is a viable option?

Thanks to everyone for the wonderful information you have shared so far. I have yet another question. Is a single 700 GPH Aqueon Powerhead enough for my 40g? I'm not sure if I have any dead spots or not. Would 2 smaller ones be better? What would be your recommendations?

LoL scared me there for a second. I don't plan on having coral for a while. How much pure ammonia should I be using to dose during my cycle. I'm sure I'll be starting over now that I moved everything from one tank to another. I used the same sand water and rocks but I had to add more sand and...

So this Unit would not be good for a FOWLR setup?

So I decided against the 26 gallon bow front in favor of a 40 gallon breeder. Here is the current situation. Please overlook my shoddy aquascape. The light is a Coralife HO 36 inch Aqualight. It came with (1) 10,000k 39 watt bulb and (1) actinic blue light 39 watt. Is this light ok? Sent from...

So my test kit arrived today. Here are the results. Any feedback would be nice. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Still waiting on my test kit. I plan on carrying a water sample to the pet store tomorrow to get an idea of the levels. Test kit should be here Wednesday. Anyone might have an idea of the clear looking algae I mentioned earlier in the thread That looks to be on my live rock? Sent from my...

I Tried the SC Aquarium forums however, there seems to have not been anyone on in weeks.

UPDATE: Help, I was browsing the forums and noticed that The ammonia I used to start my cycle contained Ammonium Hydroxide and Surfactant. There was a thread I found that said the Surfactant was not good. Where should I go from here? Start over.. rinse everything.. Not sure....
