Is it done? Good morning, Here are the trackings of my tank for the last bit of weeks. For the first week my readings were SG 1.026 Ph 7.8 Ammonia .25 Nitrite 0 Nitrate 0 They didn't move so I threw in two pieces of shrimp as suggested and left them there for three days. So the second week...

Actually maybe it is not zero So my girlfriend came home and the tests tubes have been sitting unpoured for the last few hours and all look the same color, except the ammonia. Now she says it looks like it is 1ppm now. Do the colors change as they sit for a long time? It is an API saltwater...

Good afternoon, I've been cycling my 29 gallon FOWLR setup for almost four weeks now doing fishless. I put in 30 lbs of cured liverock, 10 of which straight out of an aquarium getting torn down. I put in 20 lbs of live sand and saltwater straight from the LFS. I have two koralia 425 powerheads...

Thanks for the help, I love my LFS, but I'm much farther from them than is used to be and if fish started killing each other I'd have nowhere to re-home them, before when it was a fresh tank I could throw arguing fish in the 125 and problem solved. I was worried about fish jumping out the back...

Hb 100 I just saw you were looking to get the hb100, I have a 30 gallon hex tank cycling now with a HB 1000 and I prefer it over the 100. The 100's pump fits inside the aquarium while the 1000's sits under the skimmer itself making for a cleaner looking inside to the aquarium and less heat...

Good evening, I'm almost done with my cycle and have been trying to wrap my head around what I want to stock in this thing, I've probably poured fifty hours into researching what works and trying to fit what the girlfriend wants since it was her 29 hex I turned from fresh to salt. The tank...

I went ahead and threw in some of my puffer's deli shrimp on Wednesday and it's been rotting for 2 days now. My ammonia went from .25 to 1ppm in a day. Not showing any nitrites or nitrates yet. My skimmer is pulling a bunch of yellow liquid, about an inch a day. My question is, since I got my...

Good evening, I started this hobby with an old 30 gallon hex with freshwater years ago, upgraded to a 125 South American tank 2 years ago, and recently decided to try my hand converting that old hex into a fowlr system. I get my water pre made from a great LFS. I started with 20lbs of live...

Thanks for the replies Thanks for the replies. I have moved my powerhead up and it is blasting the surface now, I thought the skimmer would add enough o2 to the water, but I guess I was wrong and that surface agitation is where it is at. I have heard one of the problems with Hex tanks for...

Good Afternoon, This is my first time posting here, or on any forum for that matter, but I have been doing so much research the last 3 weeks that I thought It'd be smart to ask for some help. I have a great LFS that I have been using for years, but I moved and am now 45 minutes away so I'm a...
