I have a sponge media in my canister, actually 2 types. 1 is a biological mesh, the other is the floss. I test the water from my LFS, i actually switched to another lfs because my main supplier's water had 16-18 dKH and was all wacky. I do weekly water changes with high quality water, and high...

the best way to describe this algea is a green felt on the rear of the tank. I usually use a magnet scrubber on the front but because the tanks in a corner i cant reach the back, and as a rule of thumb i do not put my hands in my tank unless its necessary. I have done water changes, i have...

where should i pull water from to test? The bottom? The top? Maybe middle? I have read that KH will test higher near the surface so i was curious.I retested my water today using all API liquid tests. Here is the results. *** water was taken off the surface Salinity 1.022 /1.023 Ammonia 0ppm...

tell me about it... my buddy while house sitting decided to buy a snowflake eel for my FOWLR.. it ate most of my clowns...

LOL i think what i have done has most certainly voided the warranty. Hot glue is a pain to remove. I tried the warranty in all seriousness. However i could not find my original receipt.. so no luck there. Duct tape maybe? J/K.

I have a Fluval 304, i have replaced the o ring, and other parts. However it still leaks. I have invested already past what my wife allowed on this canister ( i should of just scrapped it and bought a new one). Tonight i siliconed the lid to the canister, and then to be safe i hot glued it...

Didnt know if he died and remained in the tank if he would cause a spike in ammonia or nitrite?

ok... my tank is cycling... so just keep scraping off the green powder algea? Also it seems i have a blue damsel missing, i dont see him or his body! should i move everything around to recover him or just leave it be?

what is good kh and calcium levels? i dose purple up below suggested amount and only every 5 days (1 capful)

about a month, i basically put the fish from my 29 gallon in a 60 gallon tall.. all the rock, sand, and media are preexisting. my 29 gallon had been established for over 2 years. I also buy premixed Saltwater from my LFS

this test is of my 60 gallon FOWLR system w/ 70lbs of live rock. Salinity 1.023 / 1.024 - Deep six Hydrometer Calcium 500 ppm ( about 1 hr after dosing w/ purple up) Carbonate Hardness (KH) 196.9 (11 dKH) Phosphate 0 ppm Ammonia 0ppm Nitrite <.3 Nitrate 10 ppm PH 7.7 (tetra test) I know my PH...

This particular tank is new.. about 7 days old.. however, rock, sand, fish is from 2 year tank. I had this problem with my 29 gallon tank so i did a 50% water change plus upgraded to a larger tank (60 gallon).. I know my tank recycled.. i had a diatoms on the sand, but that is clearin up. The...

Only happens on glass, if I don't scrub it everyday and let it sit and gather on glass for a couple days it takes a razor blade to get it off... Kinda the only problem i am having.. My lighting seems to be good, and the tank is in a dark room with no direct sunlight.

Anyone have any ideas on how to combat this issue? My phosphates are at 0ppm and Nitrates at 10ppm. Ammonia 0ppm & Nitrites at 0ppm..... i feed every 3 days and they consume it within seconds.... :n00b:

the tang is a small tang, and so are the anemones (1 is dime size base, and the other quarter size base)

Green ..its so light you can only see it at an angle.. but if i dont clean it off it stacks on the glass and end up having to use a razor blade to scrape it off. and for top offs i use RO water from my LFS or Saltwater (made with RO) depending on salinity (also from LFS).
