    UV Sterilizer Advice

    I have a coralife uv sterilizer and the pump that the fish store gave me for it has I believe went bad. It's so noisy I can hear it from the other room. I also think that it uses too much power to be effective as the flow is too fast I feel. Can anyone recommend a good pump for it that I can...

    I haven't really thought of that. I didn't know it that these were factors. When I get home I'll take pictures of the plants I bought today. I didn't write down the names of them like I should have. I want to start easy for now though as I learn.

    What is kh/gh? I've only begun planting. I spent 400 today on new equipment and filter media and what not so I'm strapped for now money wise. I'm not rushing bc the filter needs to re adjust so I want to read everything that I can and really know this. I love everyone's set up here.

    Cichlids swimming at top

    This is immensely helpful in understanding what most likely went wrong! The stability is helping. After seeing amonia I tested the next day and it rose again. I feared that my tank was crashing but testing it just moments ago the ammonia is back to 0. I think your completly correct. My local...

    Nitrate problems

    How much should I remove weekly? I was doing 20% every two weeks. Should I continue 20% weekly or move it more? Also I find it hard to clean the tank because of the rocks and logs being hard to move and get under. I'm always afraid I'm going to hurt my fish moving a rock. Any tips?
