    Nitrates Issue

    How long after cleaning HOB filter weekly and water changes will it take to bring nitrates down ? The snails die bc of my 6 line wrasse attacks them sometimes and my Pink diamond goby eats small nass snails. He's a nut!! The big nass nails have been fine.

    Nitrates Issue

    Ya I have a store about 20 mins away. I agree. I had the same issue at my other house and I use a RODI 5 stage system so I don't think its that but maybe. That's why I was thinking it was the Test Kit.

    Nitrates Issue

    Ok guys so I did two water changes and clean the filter of waste in the last 6 days and its still same. I'm going to do one more water change to see if it helps. I'm thinking its the test kit that's the issue and not the water. Anyone know what a good test kit to get is? I'm using API's now and...

    Fish Issue

    So I've had a pink dotted goby for a while now and just got some small Nassarius snails today and the goby is eating them shell and all. Anybody know how long its going to take to dissolve them in his belly? He's never done this before or if he has I never noticed it.

    Nitrates Issue

    No protein skimmer or canister. I have a aqua clear 40-70gal filter with the sponge, carbon and pellets combo. I'm definitely doing the water changes the next few days I did one today and I'll do another tomorrow.

    Growing Coral

    I bought a light from these guys and my metal halide broke after a few weeks. Shipped it to be fixed but took a while to get through and when I did they were Asian and couldn't understand them . I also had to pay for the $15 shipping for a 3 week old broken item they sent me. I actually need a...

    Nitrates Issue

    Have you guys noticed that API Master Test Kit Nitrate in these test kits go bad? I had a previous one where I bought a new one and test from both kits and the older one (6 months after opened) went bad . I'm thinking maybe the same with this one possibly. I keep them all cover and follow the...

    Nitrates Issue

    True but their waste is smaller lol. I know what you're saying. Do you have coppods? Any idea what the best way to get them out of the filter when cleaning it ? Haha they are always in there which is good bc they eat the crap but I'd like to preserve them as long as possible .

    Nitrates Issue

    True, well I meant the inverts that eat poop and excess for ( which is rare in my aquarium bc my fish are like Americans at Mcdonalds) are kinda necessary lol. Some are just easy on the eyes. I've bought Shaving brushes once to help lower nitrates but something ate them. :/

    Nitrates Issue

    Well that I've learned recently but inverts are kinda necessary to help keep it clean. Plus I always wanted corals for obviously reason. Lol. One day at a time I guess. I'm still learning I guess.

    Nitrates Issue

    I have around 25lbs of live rock and 2- 2 1/2 sand bed. I had some mass snails and bought a bunch more to move the sand around with the pistol shrimp and the gobies. I knew the ammonia and nitrites led to nitrates being bad I thought they all had to bad in order for the nitrates to be bad but...

    Nitrates Issue

    Quick question for the Saltwater fish wizards. Lol Here's a pic of a current test I took and the PH could be a little better which I'm going to buffer, the Ammonia looks good along with the Nitrite, but my Nitrates have always been high. I thought if nitrates are high so would ammonia and...
