I tested everything else in my aquarium yes and everything is fine. My new 6 gallons im doing i will test ph, salt conc. and the only water i can use is from the tap right now, and the nitrates have read at 5ppm. But that is alot better than 160

Tank is just over 2 months old yeah. Do you think it could be due to the bio-balls causing a nitrate spike? What about over feeding? and thanks alot for you inputs

HAHHA ALRIGHT... so I live in a house with 9 other guys, and they partied saturdaynight and they wanted to show their friends the aquarium so they did the "credit-card" slip on the door and yeah, they did it by accident. So no problem with the biocube, its actually really nice.

Hmm... hopefully its not a recurring problem. If it is, I will for sure complain to Oceanic, and I'll tell them that my entire livestock died maybe. LOL. please help

Hey, We figured it out. Our leather was actually growing. Leathers shead a layer of their skin when they grow and in order to do so, they recess themselves and eventually shed a shinny layer of skin. WooHoo thanks for all the help though and hope.

It seems to only eat algie growing off the rocks, and i don't know if this is enough for him/her. He/she seems comfortable and active, altho she picks at the rocks alot of...

thanks very much. I do find it quite convenient having the biocube as it is. Im very happy with it tho, the only problem is I already wanna go bigger and better. Plus, the fish i purchased will need a bigger tank soon, sort of the reason i got them as babies. There is for sure no room left for...
