After starting this thread, I did change to R/O water... I haven't updated but since the change, all my corals are open & everything's going great... :) I've just put up my 55g too... This time I used someone else's water from an established tank... about 50% and the rest RO/DI water... So...

I had an eel disappear from my freshwater 90g once... Nothing in the tank with him but a pleco... Checked behind the tank, the filters... everywhere in and out of the tank. Never found him... lol. I suggest you try looking OUT of the tank... behind the tank, under crevices he may have...

No harm no foul. I don't separate between mine and my boyfriend's tanks, therefore when I say mine, I can be talking about any of our 9 tanks. I hadn't expected anyone to think that when I say my tank is doing great, that one would assume it was the tank in question that I was having a problem...

I'm sorry to hear you don't agree, but there are differing opinions on the watts per gallon "rule". I tend to rely on experience (whether mine or those I know of) rather than online opinions, as the internet is full of know it all scientists... A person obviously has to take everything with a...

If you'd have given me a chance to answer, you'd know that the acro and corals I'm speaking of is not in MY tank that I speak of in my post asking for help, it's in my boyfriend's tank... and his has been up for about 9 months. Granted, his has a 2x18 t5, still only 38 watts. It's high up in...

I have a 10 gallon nano and I have a 170gph marineland powerhead for flow in mine... I also have a 10 gallon (whisper I think...) filter with no carbon for added flow too... I'll probably take that out once the tank is more established and I figure out if I really need it or not... Right now...

Will do. I did replace with a tiny bit... But not near how much I took out... Will get more rock today. Thanks...

Yes, tank was cycled within the first two weeks, then coral was added then. I'm not sure at all if it's the problem, but I'm just trying to solve everything that it might possibly be... I've gone ahead and changed 20% water last night using RO water and trying to slowly get the original tap...

OK, third question since yesterday... :( Just tryin to figure out my problem here... Before starting out my 10g nano last month, I researched every site I could find regarding lava rock and salt water aquariums... Even asked several different LFSes in my area. I got more "go aheads" than I...

Another question... how about the Current USA 2x40...? (here) I'd figure it's only half the price, but that PC should do as well or close to as well as the t5ho Nova right...?

Thanks... as for what I have now though, should I keep the 50/50 or put the 10k daylight in instead? I feel I have too much actinic, which I hear isn't as much par as other lights... I'm just a little worried about the corals now. I'm not sure I'll be able to get the other light that soon...

I've had a tank up for about a month and have been having problems... I won't get into that as it's in another thread already...But it's a 10g nano with a few corals and the corals don't seem to be doing so well. I have two zoa colonies, one won't open and the other, I've had up to 90% of...

Thanks, I'll be heading to Walmart today then... And yes, that Nova is actually what I was planning to purchase next week... :)

Well, the actinic is brand new, the 50/50 is from an old freshwater plant tank I had but was only used for a couple months, so in a sense, still new... right? As for the current, the more the better, as long as you're not pushing sand around. Also, I don't seem to be seeing much current from...

Thanks... The salinity is about 1.024/5ish... so I'm sure it's not the salinity. I figured it's the tap water... But I hear that lots are able to pull it off without a RO/DI so I thought I'd give it a shot... I am planning to purchase a unit ASAP but for now I'll go ahead and buy some and...
