ok so i used bio spira and even some seachem stability over the court of the first week. got the brown diatoms (indicative of tank cycling i think), which turned green all over the rocks and sand. now the water itself is greenish. i haven't done a WC yet, only a top off from evap. the tank is 18...

Thoughts on aquascape?

My rodi is running and according to the ths meter my water out of the tap is fluctuating between only 7-9ppm and outputting 0. Isn't 7-9 really low?

i ordered 50lbs of rock from reefrocks.net and 80lbs of reef sand. i talked to the owner first and he was very friendly. and they got my order out immediately. just got my tracking. do you know if 80lbs of sand will be enough for a 60x24x18 tank if i don't want a thick bed? also, i think...

thanks. would it be a good idea to use live rock in one of the baskets?

i am getting a fluval fx5 in exchange for some cash and all of my HOB's.

thanks. i would just do one or the other as they are both yellow. i have a question about a protein skimmer. i said i wasn't going to run one, mainly because i am not going to be using a sump. but i came across a HOB, a coralife 65g. being that it's not rated for nearly as big a tank as i have...

thank you. is the fox face rabbit fish more hardy than a yellow tang? i like them as well.

tried, the glass tops won't stay on they just cave in the water.

this has been a nightmare. so i got the 110, cleaned it, set it up, and went to put it on the tank.. well the tank is too close to the wall. the AQ's were quite a bit shallower. i can't move the tank without draining everything, nor do i want it any further out anyway. so i put the filter on the...

Water flow is soothing and not the kind Of the kind of noise I meant. I'm referring to buzzing, rattling, humming from loud running parts. Thanks for the info everyone.
