Hey everyone, Long story short I have a 100 gallon acrylic bow front tank with a over flow scupper built in the center of the tank. The tank is about one and a half years old. I had the FX5 hooked up with the kit it came with never using the scupper. About a week ago I decided to go ahead...

How can i get the NO2 down? Water chages? I do 50% PWC every 2 weeks. Should I do a PWC everyday till i get the NO2 down ?

Nop, Those are the readings I get. The wierd part is that i never had a positive reading for Nitrate

Ok so my friend came over and i started telling him about my aquarium, Then i told him its 170 gallons, but he though thats its in fact not so i need help with the size of my tank, I purchesed it form craigslist. the person selling it said it was 170 gallons. Its a acrylic bow front 15" x 18"...

Do not add buffers hehe, i just had 10 fish die due to adding buffers, One thing that seems to work is taking a small filter bag and putting about a cup of crushed coral into you filter, If you wait another day i will let you know exactly how it works out for me, my PH was at 6.2 2 days ago...

ok so i got about an hour ago and the temp is at 82 with the heaters off the PH looks to be dropping, when i walked it was at 7.3 and now its at 7.24 i hope it doesn't drop much lower then it is. From all your experiences, when adding coral to the filter do you achieve a steady PH reading or...

Will your buisness be open to AA members, would we be able to stop by and buy fish ?

So i woke up this morning and them temp is down to 81, but what im worried about is the PH, Its up to 7.2. The crushed coral is doing the trick. My question is do i remove the coral from then filter once i achieve correct PH? I have a weird feeling that i put to much coral in the filter and...

what you can do is install a 3/4 piece of plastic tube in the corner of your tank, anytime you would like to feed the wafers just place them in the tube and they go to the bottom without the other fish noticing. The plecos will wait at the foot of the tube to get their wafer. My friend does...
