Just wondering how many hours I should have my lights on for? They are compact florescent bulbs.

DJMPJ2 Out of all the suggestion you have for the root of my P04 problem the only thing it could be is carbon. That is the only thing I have done recently that would have caused this. When I cleaned the tank I only used RO water, when I feed I only defrost in RO water than drain, I was...

My po4 is about 4-5ppm :cry: . How do I lowers this? All other readings are perfect :) . No fish in tank just janitors and 2 candy striped shrimp, plenty of LR, and skimmer. Only use RO water and tested the water and salt for po4 with 0ppm results in both. I have heard a lot of different ways to...

I have a 92 gallon Corner Bow and I love it. I scaped using the "V" and it looks great. What I also like is that you do get a almost magnifying effect in the tank and things look bigger, which is not a bad thing starting new.

LOL!! you are right there site is screwed up, I just called and ordered some. I ordered 10lbs Grunge plus, and 30/30 snail/hermit crab mix, and he threw in 2lbs of Grunge lite for free. Total with shipping to Pa was $145. I sure hope it works. I put it in and it turned my water to mud. I could...

I just received mine today I will be putting it in tonight and will let you know how it works. I have read a lot about it and it seems good.

Thats what I do not see. Critters, Coralline algae, nothing is there at all. I would think after six months I would something. I also have had above normal nitrates, now matter how many water changes I do. There is only 2 hermit crabs, 2 cleaner shrimp, and one jawfish. This is why I was...

Just placed an order for 10 lbs of the garf grunge, snails, and hermit crabs as Janitors. Very nice people there and very helpful. I will have it on Tuesday.

I personally have not left it out of SW, but I am unsure of what the old owner did with it.

I have at least 100# of old live rock about 5 yrs old. I have had it for 6 months now and have treated them with care. I am unsure of how the old owner took care of them. I have no growth on them with the exception of one polyp patch on all of them. What if anything should I do to restore life...

Thanks Kurt!! :lol:

I did lots of research on this and did know how important it was. I was miss guided by someone at a LFS who even took time out to come over and look at my tank in the first few months. This person seemed to have as much interest in my tank as his own reef tanks. I really had 100% trust in him...

I am using RO water. With 13 fish dying in such a short time I might have ons dead one still in there. This is why the tank will get Overhauled this weekend!! Just to make sure the tank is clear of any dead fish parts!! Thanks So much This has Helped SOOOOOOOOOOO Much!!!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol...

I will be doing some cleaning of the tank this weekend and will get the algae under control and fish out. What is allowed in the tank in the next two months? :?

Two Months is the time frame. What about adding some reef in that time will I cause any more damage?? Or lose any more money??
