The Sea Apple had Babies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wooooooohooooooooooooooooooo! and yall had me all scared! Damn my tank looks Bad Azz!!!

OK - Check this out! It looks like some one threw up all inside my tank. The entire tank is covered with this Pink/Purple Dust - its stuck to all the glass, every rock and is even inside my live sand!! WTF is it? Does the Sea Apple Shoot out stuff at night? By the way - nothing is dead - and...

OK - Now it looks like its happy! Totally opened up - looks so gorgeous. Will test water tomorror and keep yall informed with the Stats......

Now that I look at it again - It looks like its getting bigger and bigger and bigger - like a pregnant lady ready to burst - Have no idea is this is normal.

They wont let me return it - so Im stuck with it. I'll buy a kit and keep and eye on it. My tank is going on 8 weeks (not sure if yall consider that "brand new"). In any case - the Apple "seems" to be ok. Any hints on what a sick or dying Apple is supposed to look like? Here are some photos...

Let me ask you, How often do you test the water in your tank?

OK I figured out what was making my Tank slightly hazy. Since I have Live Sand - the Filter was slightly lifting the sand and made my water look hazy. I lowered the sucking power of the filter and WOW!!!!! Its like Crystal clear now! and I just bought a Red Apple! WOW Its gorgeous!

Is there such a thing as "too much carbon"? If I use the Carbon Filter AND fill the empty Grey Basket with GAC is that too much?

Cool :D Thanks for the info!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh! Yes there is an empty Grey Basket! Great idea! Now that I see that option - Do you recommend using any other media in that grey basket? :?: :idea:

WOW - 1/2 price! Thanks for the tip! I found exactly what I purchase in the store!! http://www.bigalsonline.com/catalog/product.xml?product_id=24577;category_id=1925;pcid1=1965;pcid2= :D :D :D

First I was taken back by the "Welcome to AA" - I thought I was in Drug rehab! 8O 2nd - No stupid me didnt READ the package that says "SHAKE AND RUN UNDER COLD WATER :roll: So I hope haze goes down soon :twisted: 3rd - Oh my 2 Weeks! :o changing Carbon Filter every two weeks would be...

The tank is going on 5 weks old. I just brought my water to the fish store and they told me to wait 2 more weeks before I buy anything. When they tested the water the ONLY item of of whack was the PH - and the guy at the fish store told me that this was still only slightly high and common place...

OK the reason why I ask is because before I put in the Carbon Filter - my water was crystal clear - as you can see from the photos I now have a slight haze - which I asume will go away in time. Speaking of time frame - the box actually states to change the Carbon filter every month - after 4...

I just finished setting up my very first Saltwater Fish Tank. I hope the attached pictures come out OK. I am using the Emperor 280 Bio Wheel Filtration System and was wondering if it was harmful in any way to use the Black Diamond Activated Carbon Filters that came with the System. From what...
