Alright, well as previously stated I moved from a 29 to 72. Some coral did die in my move process, sadly. I had my corals in a 20g tub for longer than I wanted and didn't notice some had died. Nitrates probably sky rocketed in that tub, my thoughts are its releasing any fluids it may have and...

Didn't know that! Nice. Thanks!

Anyone happen to know why my toadstool is wilting? It's always stood upright and strong. Now it's really soft and doesn't want to stand straight up. I did move from a 29 to a 72 recently. Tank parameters are as follows: PH 8.2 Nitrate 20ppm Nitrite 0 Ammonia 0 Phosphate <.25 Dkh 10.8 Mg...

I didn't either until I saw a local place selling it for cheap. Stock is all moved in. But I have 2 clowns, a bullet goby, watchman goby, dwarf bicolor angel, a dottyback and a firefish plus two cleaner shrimp and whatever hermits/snails I grabbed. Corals consisted of: Torch (may have died...

Successful move. Had some minor coral loss unfortunately. Was expected though. Sent from my SM-G920V using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Here's a picture of the aqua scape I went with. I will be adding more rock when I move the fish over. What do you guys think? Sent from my SM-G920V using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Cool, thats what I was hoping to hear. Now to find the bins/containers to hold ~29 gallons worth of water :P Is there a need to clean the sand? Don't I want to keep the organisms in it?

Hey guys got a couple questions here. I am upgrade my 29 to a 72 bow front(as if the title didn't say enough :P). I plan on reusing the water in my 29 as well as my sand and rock. Plus whatever is in my sump will be reused as well(rock rubble, macro algae, more sand). When I do this will I...

I do have a notebook that I record all of my numbers in, but I do not record as in depth which I will start doing. I do replace my filter socks when I notice water flow lacks flow when going through. Skimmer gets cleaned at least once a week to once every other week. It looks like I may need to...

Yea that will probably be a new habit to start. Do at least one 50% water change per month. Either way I still went ahead and threw in some denitrate in the reactor and did my regular dosing of the no po3x. Sent from my SM-G920V using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Usually doing 10% every week or biweekly Sent from my SM-G920V using Aquarium Advice mobile app

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GYG54O6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 This is the reactor I am running. It comes with a 96GPH pump with a valve I can use to slow down the flow. I am running the Eshopps psk75 skimmer. Should be perfectly fine for my situation. So with my...

Sorry I forgot to specify that my sump does have a refugium section running chaeto and grape algae along with a 4in sand bed. Could I get away with running matrix in the phosphate reactor?

29g display 5-7g sump So I am dealing with a bit of a nitrate spike. I'm sitting somewhere around 40ppm and would like to bring that down. Obviously water changes will bring that down but I would like to have something else helping. I have a reactor I originally bought for phosphate but my...

Bribo, just wanted to follow up with a pic of what I'm seeing and want to make sure everything is OK. Sent from my SM-G920V using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Nice! Well glad to hear they should be ok! Thanks for a quick reply! Sent from my SM-G920V using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Hey guys, I just got some green hairy mushroom polyps on a rock. I went through my regular acclimation process and went ahead and used coral rx as I do for my dip procedure. Soon after the mushrooms started spitting up string which I believe are their guts. Was it a bad idea to dip these guys...

About a week later and what do ya know. Rearranging my rock, getting a new higher rated skimmer(hang on back) and the algae is gone!! Skimmer has been creating some raunchy skim mate. My other skimmer never even compared. For reference, I switched from the tunze 9001 to a eshopps 75psk Sent...

Sniper, I took a look at your articles. At this point I will be redoing my aquascape come the weekend. I lean my rock against the back glass and will probably find exactly what you did... I didn't fully understand best way to arrange the rock though. My thoughts are to create two side "pillars"...

I use distilled water due to lack of an RODI unit or space for one. The tank has been running for about 2 months now roughly. I did have a previous red slime outbreak that I pushed through. I used live sand, is there silicate in live sand? Sent from my SM-G920V using Aquarium Advice mobile app

So my freshwater tank had ich a while back. Maybe about 6 months ago. I ended up using ich-remedy which was a blue based medication. Welp, it died all my sealant and hoses as it said it would. However, now the dye is bleeding from the sealant back into the tank and turning my water blue...
