Hello again. My fish are doing great and my water is finally crystal clear. My only problem now is what is what I'm pretty sure is a diatom bloom. I've done some research on it and I'm thinking of grabbing a couple snails or peppermint shrimp. Any advice? Should I wait a little longer? My ph is...

I might try the carbon. I'm sure the fish will be fine...

Threes days into cycling and fish are doing great. I'll be adding more rock sometime this week. I'm sure the fish would like that because it's pretty bare at the moment. My water is still not as clear as I want it but it looks a lot better. Any tips to clearing it up? It still has a whitish tint...

I will get a powerhead when I can afford to. For now I will have to be more careful when adding water :) thanks

Will do. Thank you

It's like a thin sheet. No I did not rinse the LIVE sand the bag said no rinsing. Looks like I should have now. I just started cycling the live rock and live sand have been in the tank about a week. Added three damsels like two hours ago. I don't have any powerheads and probably won't get one...

I'm starting a new 75 gallon tank and have a couple questions. I added water first(newbish move, I know) then sand and rock. The sand clouded the tank for about two days then cleared up. It's really fine carribsea live sand 80 pounds of it. Now after two days of it settling it has a thin layer...

Just started a 75 gallon saltwater tank. I added 80 pounds of live sand after my water and my tank became really foggy. I let it settle and two days later it cleared. Now I have a small layer of white film on my sand. Is this ok? Should I syphon it out? Will it hurt fish when I put them in. I...
