They are still in there, going to re-test the ammonia in a minute but hopefully it's gone now.

Ammonia has dropped ALOT through the day, barely measurable now. I guess the extra live rock I put in there last night held enough bacteria... Will probably move fish regardless.

I'm just going to remove the fish and put them back into the display for now, gotta do it right! Appreciate all the replies.

I know I need to cycle it but I was thinking that the mature sand & mature live rock would have enough bacteria anyway. I think I'll have to cycle though, this isn't working.

I recently setup a tank to put my clarkii pair and it is to be used as a spawning tank, I've added sand from my display and a few good size pieces of well matured live rock. It obviously isn't handling the ammonia though - I'm around 1.0ppm now, maybe slightly more. What do to now? Water...

Have rocks wedged around it and it will split and spread fast

Thanks for the info, couldn't find anything about them online. Gotta love marine!

Hopefully this has an image attached...

Good reply seeing as the picture doesn't work now but they aren't either one (although there is a lot of them too) The picture shows a load of circle things, like spirals, they are hard and stuck on the glass, I'll fix the picture tommorow so you can get a look. Thanks for the reply.

I have hundreds of these in my sump and was wondering if anyone knew what they were? I highlighted a few so you know what I'm on about.

Yep, 2mm sides, 4mm bottom and 4mm center brace!

So, I got the glass for my custom tank today, the measurements are: 1x 600mm x 400mm 2x 600mm x 200mm 2x 395mm x 200mm So it ends up being 600mm x 400mm x 200mm. I originally got the sides cut using 2mm glass as an aquarium calculator saw this as safe. The bottom was then cut using 4mm...

In relation to the temperature there was lol. 20c is seemingly fine at least for coralline and filter worms because it's all doing good :)

Gave it all a good clean, much better lol.

In relation to another post on had on here, I've broke down a tank so I could refurb the stand, while storing the tank I left the sand in there with an inch or so of water above it. Coming to setting it up again and I'm thinking it's probably best to clean the sand out? It doesn't look the...
