Yeah I really do t get it. It's an API test kit which to my understanding is pretty accurate. I'm about to head to the lfs ill see what they got.

My lid does seal pretty tight. I will try letting my feedin lid open to see if it increases. I dont have corals. Thanks.

Fish are like people IMHO. You have good and bad of each kind. I have a orange and white oscellaris with a black back and a black and white saddleback with really bright yellow fins. They where both so unique I had to try. They do not fight at all. They could though. When I go to a local fish...

My ph in my 28 gallon fowlr tank is at 7.8-8.0. I tried using API buffer max and it didn't raise my ph at all. I tried adding baking soda a teaspoon mixed in some tank water once a day and it didn't raise my ph at all. Someone please help me out here. What is the problem. All my fish are happy...

Update Today my water was 78 degrees, 0 ammonia, 2 nitrite, and 40 nitrate. I think this is normal for the cycle to go. Any info if this is normal would help.

Update I ordered some real reef live rock substitute from premium aquatics. It shipped in two days and received it the next morning. Adding it to my live rock already in the tank it really brightened up my colors in the tank. It has a deep purple color. It's very porous for good places for...

All cleared up. Just an update for those helping me get started.

Ok thanks man.

Set up my 28g jbj nano last night. This morning my water is still as cloudy as it was the night before. Should I run both my powerheads to increase flow or have them alternating to clear up the aquarium. Thanks for the help.

Yes it's the stock media tray with the sponge, carbon, and ceramic bio rings.

I have a jbj 28 gallon nano cube cf quad. It comes with a three stage filtration system. Would it work better to replace the three stage filtration system with my reef octopus ns80 to remove waste? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Or would you suggest modifying to run both the filtration...

I just asked because I saw it on a setup video. It was used as an emergency shutoff if I remember correctly.

Ones anyone know of a good water clarity solution for brackish water? It seems like no matter how many water changes Ido the water always seems cloudy. Could it be from not having enough light?

Would anyone also recommend placing a second ball valve on the drain line?

That what I have found on another forum since. Thanks for the accurate information.

Quick question. I have a 120 gallon 48x24x24 tank I'm setting up as a fowlr. It has a dual built in overflow going to a 40 gallon sump. I have a mag drive 7 and a mag drive 18. Which of these two pumps would be better for my return. The 7 would give me 420 gph at the return height. The 18 would...

I have been reading about them both. They seem to both have good reviews. The aquabella just has the year no water change (miracle) guarantee. This I guess is what I really question.

Does anyone know if aquabella saltwater bio-enzyme will work to cut down the initial 6-8 week cycle time for a saltwater aquarium. I was told to check this out and dr Tim's one and only. any opinions and experience would be appreciated.

I have a mag drive 7. Would that be adequate to run with the jbj auto top off on a 5 foot return to the back of my tank? Thanks for any advice.

As much as I want a predator with frogfish and longnose batfish. I would rather have a community tank to start. I saw in your profile when I messages you that you were from pa. Not sure where. I live right outside of Harrisburg.

How many rapid LEDs are you planning on using on your tank? Just to have an idea on my 120.

Yeah i want the vibrant colors. I never heard of them two brands. I will have to check them out. As long as its not to pricy I'll go with it.

Ok good. Like I said it came with it so less to spend bumping up if there is no need. I think I'll just sell the seahorse since I have no need for it. Thanks for your help.

My 120 gallon has a dual overflow. My tank came with a mag drive 1800 water pump. Will that water pump be enough for the two returns at 5 feet? The tank came with a seahorse 1 hp but that was used because the previous owner had his sump tank in his basement feeding upstairs to 4 returns on two...

Hey everyone. Going over all the stuff I got for my 120 gallon fowlr tank. I am leaning toward getting rid of my wood canopy with the t5 setup which looks like a prehistoric nightmare (preowned tank). I was thinking of getting the marineland glass canopy and using the Ecoxotic Stunner LED...
