Ive had a 100g aggressive tank set up for roughly 5 months now.. my livestock is a v lionfish, panther grouper, picasso trigger, and a porc. puffer. The last fish added was the puffer, which was added roughly a month ago. Here's the problem: Ive noticed that over the last week or so my...

sorry its taken me so long to update... holidays have been hectic... Anyway, heres the status. I did one or two water changes about a week ago and the levels were staying the same (still very low traces of NH3 and NO2). I decided to just watch the tank closely for behavior changes and NOT do...

I didn't do a water change yet, just checked levels and apparantly my PH fixed itself overnight... my levels are NH3 - 2.0 NO2 - 0.25 NO3 - 20 PH - 7.6 going to do a water change. keep you guys posted

I did a 50% water change yesterday around noon. Right now my levels are: NH3 = 0.50 NO2 = 0.25 NO3 = 10 PH = 6.0 any suggestions?

Ever since i started my first saltwater tank 2 years ago i have fed my fish mysis shrimp - I have always used the "pro pops" brand that come in the little cubes. When the LFS was out i tried to feed the "formula 2" cubes and flakes, but the fish didn't respond well to the change, so i stop...

ok, last night i did a 50% water change. Added bio spira (put it in cooler on ride home, went straight in fridge til used, followed directions for use) and prime after the water change at around 9pm. When i added the bio spira (3 oz), i made sure spread it over the entire tank (rather than...

I can't speak for the 30" personally but i do have a 60" current usa pc fixture and i was VERY impressed with the quality of the fixture. as for comparing to coralife lights, i would say that the current fixtures are equal, if not superior, in craftsmanship ( i have an 72" aqualight pro on my...

**Update** Every morning i test my levels and generally they are the same every day, so i have been changing 50% of the water every day. NH3 = 0.25 NO2 = between 0.5/1.0 NO3 = between 10/20 At what point should i use the bio spira again?

i just ordered a filter from big als the other day... it was a cascade 1500 filter, but the cardboard box it was shipped in was a magnum 300 box... go figure! to answer your question yes they usually have some type of writing on the box (depending on size)

Alright. Numbers are still looking good. NH3 = 0.25 NO2 = 0.25 NO3 = 10 Can't complain at all :mrgreen:

Today theres a little light at the end of the tunnel. NH3 = 0.25 NO2 = 0.5 NO3 = 10 About to do another 50% change. These numbers sound great in comparison to the numbers this past week. Im guessing that prime helped get these numbers down too. Yeah i really care about these fish - its...
