Thanks Candacecook!!! Its since gotten alot better! All those cords are wrapped up into one strand and they fall directly behind the heater so you honestly can't even see any cords anymore! But ya I'm trying to make my mind up on what type of background to do.... This is my colorful tank, the...

Bump! Anyone?

I have a 20gal Aqueon tank its 24x12x16 and the guy at the LFS said the reason last time I did a saltwater tank out of it the coral didn't thrive was because of the lighting... it has the stock hood which has a 15w T8 in it and I need to figure out what to do to get it more powerful... he said I...

I scrubbed the walls down and got all the contaminated water out and I've been putting new saltwater in... and got a bottle of Seachem Stability... Dude at the LFS was very helpful and I'm going to do a full treatment of this stuff today and half dose treatments the rest of the week to get the...

Actually the Leporinus died during the move so they are no more in my setup Lol and they were actually very gentle I was surprised fast but nice fish I kinda miss now... Just bought another Cichlid, found a way better LFS not to far from home.

Moved and redid the 55.... Welcome to the new Rome, GA!!! Petco had a couple deals on some new decorations lol Also it is now a Cichlid and Blue Gourami tank... got three new Cichlid's I will take pics of soon they've been shy but seem to be doing alot better.

I had an outbreak of these white things a while back and long story short then tank started going south and we were getting ready to move so it just kinda got let go... Are these things safe or not? They wouldn't go away... They were all over the glass and everything... Another question my tank...

Yea the tank has been active for 2 months lol I'm sure its done cycling... I kinda forgot to continue testing it after the first month so it wasn't tested for like 3 weeks lol but yes I will keep testing and hope to get 2 clown fish in about 2 weeks... that's the plan..

Thanks ladies! I've only put food in once (a few flakes for the crabs) and its RO from the LFS. My pH is at 8.0, ammonia is at 0.1, nitrites are 0.0 and the nitrates are around 30... I did a 4gal water change so I'll test again tomorrow and see what the results are. I haven't fed the "tank"...

Very nice tank and clownies! :) That's what I'm getting next! 2 of those lil guys!

Correction to title! Not ammonia its Nitrates! Sry... So my 30gal saltwater tank has been set up since 7/28/12 and 4 days ago the Nitrate was at 20ppm and now today its around 30ppm... I put a crab and 5 little baby blue leg hermit crabs in 4 days ago bc I figured it was time to get something...

Ok kool I'm going to try out a different lfs today and see what their process and varieties are.

Haha ok ill try to regulate my light around those parameters... I hope he didn't die lol he must just be shy...

Here lol I need more rock!

Ok so how long each day should my light be on? BC on my 55gal when I used to keep it on alot it developed alot of algae and I had to only turn on the light for an hour a day for like 2 weeks to get it to settle down... also I can't find my brittle seastar anymore :(

Awesome man! Can't wait for my tank to be ready for the little guys!

Wow! Great build! That's alot of "stuff" to keep it running clean... lol Good luck with it all!

I like! That's alot of live rock! Check mine out tell me what you think... just started up!

Day 2 of testing: pH: still 8.0 Ammonia: 0.5 Nitrite: 0.0 Nitrate: 9.0 Salt Hydrometer: 1.023-1.024 So Nitrate went up and so did ammonia but no nitrites yet.... Is this normal for cycling? Day 2 of testing, day 3 of base rock and live rock, day 4 of sand and water. ALSO!!!! Noticed a Brittle...

Nice! At our lfs they have like 10 different types lol I like the black ice clowns but they are like $300 for a pair.

Awesome! The lfs has them for 24.99 here also... not sure on the warranty tho... Michelle found some online for $11 I'm not to sure on that deal but hey its 11 bucks if they end up living then hell yea and if they die o well lol good luck putting them in!

Awesome! We r nerds!!! Check out my latest on my thread Joe! Tell me wat u think about the levels

Did first test everything seems to be in order except pH is a bit off I'm recording everything on an Excel chart to log the cycle. pH= 8.0 Ammonia= 0.3 Nitrite= 0.0 Nitrate= 7.5

Ok so I went to go drag racing but it got cancelled due to rain so I come back and turn the light on and wow! The filter and 3hrs time did alot! Put in more salt and got the salinity upto 1.023 (thanks Ingy for the calculation it helped out) now since only rock is in there to help it become more...

Pics :) for some reason my camera was doing funky colors.. the light is like a cross between the two first pics blueish purple
