Sand bed is starting to look better already as of this morning. Will take pictures and post when I get home.

Good point. Come to think of it, my female did the same thing before my male came down with Ich. Good looking out. If you have a QT, I'd throw the male in it now. Let him cooldown, get healthy in a stress-free environment, and he should be ok.

Did he stay out with the guys all night again and forget to call? Seriously though, keep an eye on him, they should square up and be fine soon. Women can be moody creatures LOL

Alrighty. I'll give that a go, with the darkness. I'll post my results in the coming days. Picked up a MJ1200 and put it on the back left glass aimed at the front of the glass and the surface. I moved the penguin 1140 to point at the glass, but in a slightly downward angle. Now I have excellent...

Removing my damsel ment re-aquascaping. Not fun. He also stressed out my clowns way to much and they ended up succumbing to Ich. Good times. Now I know better. LOL

Well. If you look at the tank picture, I have excellent surface ripple, if I turn it down to the next angle, I get no surface ripple. Suggestions then?

So you think I need two powerheads in this small of a tank? One further down blowing against the sand bed? I'll leave the tank dark for the next week and see it that helps.

Ok. Well. I'm only on like a 6 hr light cycle, I have more than enough movement in the tank for a 30 gallon tall, I do 10% PWC EVERY week, I use distilled water that I have always used from Wal-Mart, (my buddy uses the same and has been for over 4 years with no problems), and use Purigen filter...

My nitrates BETTER be at 0ppm when I check them again tonight. I have a Purigen filter bag in the HOB, and a pretty expensive high quality skimmer. NO3 was at 10ppm BEFORE I added the skimmer and Purigen. High nitrates and my shrimp would have died off. He's doing well, actually just molted...

Roka, I'm user a marineland hob with purigen mesh bag and plastic filter medium. No carbon. A Aquac Remora hob skimmer. I've got all the best filtering in place I can have for nitrate reduction, and I'm using the same water I always have. I'm really puzzled. So...I think I realized what may...

I'll try and get one when I get home tonight. This morning, it was spread out again from all the little pieces I had broken up and stirred around. It looks like absolute crap, and I want it out.

Lights are brand new. About 2-3 weeks old. Odyssea 130w dual 65w PC one 15000K bulb and one actinic. Run them about 7-8 hrs daylight.

Nope. Aquatic Gardens.
