i used tap water to start and ro/di water to fill. the ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, and phosphate level for both sources are zero. the phosphate level started to shoot up after i put in the uncured live rocks.

i have a mag 13 for my 80g and i don't hear it unless i am 5 feet away. it's quieter than any of my older pumps that were weaker as well

i cured my live rocks in the display tank in a new set up along with the refugium. it's been two weeks and i believe the rocks are cured. the nitrate level is not bad but the phosphate level shoots up quite a bit. my question is how effective are the macroalgaes in absorbing phosphate?

i have a reef tank. harlequin tuskfish is not reef safe, is it?

yes i do have specific species in mind but also would like to know the general rules of thumb. i am pondering the possibility of adding 1-4 of the following Cirrhilabrus solorensis Cirrhilabrus cyanopleura Cirrhilabrus exquisitus Cirrhilabrus lineatus Cirrhilabrus laboutei Cirrhilabrus...

aside from having a large tank and a mated pair, is there a way or is it possible to mix different speices of wrasse in one tank?

thanks. that's all i needed to know. planning to migrate a pair of them into a new fuge.

in other words, if they are put in a refugium, will they eat all the pods?

you'll be just fine if you are thinking about true or false percs.

and this is my 12g. it has built in wet-dry filtration in the back so you won't see it. and the pic was taken before i added live rocks.

i would not do a water change during cycling. i would do it after. you slow down the process when you perform water changes.

it's perfectly normal. the fish just gets older that's all. darwin (black & white ocellaris) clown's orange fades and black increases as it ages.

Their home is a 12g nano cube. Handsome fish they are.

what's the normal room temp?

she has gas...

once upon a time, i forgot to put filter material in the tray above my bio-ball chambers. and i wondered why my water was cloudy after three months. :lol:

that is really strange!

That's from what I understand. Everything else can be achieved with regular water change.

some people do this and i am just wondering does anyone here do this and how do you make the lime water.
