ok so I noticed yesterday my tank looked a little cloudy and today it wasn't any better, actually looked a little worse. it's a 30g tank with a penguin 150 filter. it's been cycled for close to 2 weeks now with 8 hermits and one lawnmower blenny. all my water params are right on no problems...

my blenny likes to rest on my powerhead. and is almost impossible to find when your actually looking for him lol

new addition as of yesterday. he really likes resting on top of my powerhead

yes it's normal. the sand will eventually settle. just give it a couple of days, atleast that's how long it took mine to settle

they seem to be doing good right now, really working on that sand and algae

ammonia 0 nitrite 0 nitrate 5-10 salinity was 1.023 this morning and mixing up a little salt water to add later to bring it up some.

new additions today. bought 8 hermits. acclimating them now

ammonia 0ppm nitrite 5.0ppm nitrate 40ppm so close lol

finally getting some algae

quick question. right now I have a hob penguin 150 and wondering if I should invest in a skimmer (hob, don't have room under or sump)? was looking at a reef octopus bh100 and just wondering how much I will actually benefit because it would leave me no room at all with the filter in the back once...

also will probably add about 10-15 lbs more rock

just trying to find a good water flow, experimenting with different angles of powerheads since my marineland one only goes left to right

also any input on aquascape greatly appreciated!

day 5 ammonia 8.0 nitrite .25 nitrate 15.0 salinity 1.022 added ammonia yesterday so had a pretty big spike but it's already settling.

using a hydrometer right now. really not losing any from evap.

so got my tank setup. live rock and base rock as well as live sand. it's only been cycling about 4 days now but each time I check the salinity it's at a different level. sometimes too high and sometimes almost too low. is this normal for a new tank? just want to check

sand and about 10 or so more lbs of rock and she's ready to go. mixing salt tomorrow

well stand is almost complete waiting to put the finishing coats of paint on it an then the tank is time to fill! just gonna need water and about 10-15 lbs live rock

any pics with the new mp10 and skimmer?

looks really great! even though it's sandy those leds look awesome shining through there lol. can't wait to get my setup started. I need money!

so I can just add it to the tank when I start the cycling process? well that makes it easy lol. guess the LR can be added at the same time to aid the cycling correct?

setting up my 30g soon (hopefully sooner than later) and was looking to purchase about 20lbs of dry rock and want to make sure i will be curing it right. from what i understand: i will need a plastic container, DO water, a powerhead (1 750 enough?), heater, salt mix, and hydrometer. so...mix the...

just wondering if there are any SC members here?

love the way that set up looks. maybe one day I can showcase something similar ;)

interested in this as well since I have a 30 and looking to have mine setup by christmas also :)
