I think I read that fish get Ammonia burn if the Ammonia was the reason they died. Did the ones you lost during the High Ammonia levels show any discoloration or have a whitish film on their bodies??

Ok so here's what's happend so far Filled tank on 30 Dec Added LR on 4 Jan Test Ammonia and Nitrite for the first time today - No2 was somewhere between .05 and .1 really hard for me to distinguish Ammonia was 0 Where would that put me in my cycle? When we set up our tank. We pulled the...

Ya I have some algea growing on the sails of the ship I added to my tank. Not cool. It is brown. Hopefully it will be like you said and will go away. If not I"m going to have to scrub it off.

Ok I put plants in my tank to help w/ my nitrate lvls. Do mystery snails come from plants? I noticed 3 Tiny snails in my tank today. Is that a good sign? Or a bad one? I don't want 3000 snails..

Ya I'm not a big background fan either. I just use the reg blue background to cover the wires. I hate wires. Do you have the brown algea because you have your lights on? Pretty sure I read that if you kill the lights while you are cycling you want have as much of an algea problem. And...

I think my clowns have great personalities.

Cool thanks I wait to start

I've read that snails are more sensitive to water changes and nitrate levels then fish. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Ok I'm a little confused. My live rock has been in two days. When should I start testing my tank to check the cycle. I read that it will take a couple weeks for the rock to cure. Should I hold off on testing for a couple weeks and then start checking levels?? My tank is seeded with bacteria...

hehe.. I'm poor walmart is my friend :)

I didn't know that about the bubbles I use RO water that I get either at the shoppette from the machine and our Walmart has a machine as well. 33 cents a gal isn't half bad. I buy to 5 gal jugs at a time. And everytime I go to the store I'll pick up if needed or not. Makes it easier then...

I actually ended up varying the depth of my sand I decided to not make it all the same. So there are places that are very deep and others that are much less but none less then a couple inches. Plan on adding a new picture today.

I'll pick on up when I get a bioload other then my rock. Should be able to afford a good one by then.

Ok I don't have a SKimmer on mine. I was told I wouldn't need it for a few months at the LFS should I go ahead and buy and install one now??

I will as soon as I can turn my filter back on. Tank got really cloudy from trying to get all the crushed coral out so now I'm just waiting so I can see to arrange the rocks and get any of the funk I may have missed out. That was a messy job that I really don't want to ever do again. No...

Well I scrubbed as much of the dead stuff off as I could w/o hurting any of the plants that made it.

From the looks of it I'd say uncured. It was pretty nasty when I opened the box. Lost of stuck on mud and such. I ordered it online. From liveaquaria.com. Only got one semi large piece the rest were pretty small. And I know I'm going to want sand sifters. Didn't realize the coral would be a...

Main tank. There is nothing in it at this point but rock and sand. I even spent hours today straining the Crushed coral out from under the sand because I read here it isn't good to have in there. But ya curing the rock in my tank.
