Thank you Sniperhank. Will the carbon help with the smell?

I wanted to get some opinions about using a GFO & Carbon reactor. My water really stinks! I'm also fighting some phosphates .046, nothing really high and I don't have algae except coralline algae, I just think I need to get the phosphates down to 0. BRS has two different GFO & Carbon reactors...

How old is your test kit. You may need a new kit.

Thank you for the suggestions. My husband came home yesterday and the pump was off, then it shut itself back on before he was able to unplug it. Not sure how long it had been off.

Pump I think the pump in my sump is getting ready to die. What pump would work well on a 95 gallon tank? Hose is 3/4".

I love the shape of the tank. I have a power head pointed from the back towards the bow in the front and it seems to have plenty of flow. :fish2:

Was able to get everything switched over from 55 into the 95. All fish are alive and happy. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Thank you Mr. X I will be putting a shrimp in the tank to cycle. I appreciate all of your advice.

Yes it is live rock that has been dried out and shipped. I will definitely be cycling the tank and expect it to take awhile.

Slow Process Well I let my Dry Live Fiji rock from Aquarium Depot soak for 2 weeks in a tub of saltwater and got all of the dead animals/plant life off of it. Most of it was pretty clean but there were a few gross mushy things that I had to get off. I tested the water several times and did a...

I've been reading a lot of information and some say I should soak the dry rock before adding it to start the DT. Some say this is to kill off the dead stuff buried in it and others say to get rid of phos. Should I do this or is it okay to just put it in the tank and let it do it's thing in the...

So I just purchased a used 95 Wave Tank. I really like the tank but am a little confused on how to upgrade from my 55 to the 95. I plan on putting the tanks in different locations so I can start the 95 without having to tear down the 55 first. The 95 wave tank has an overflow that is plumbed...

Unfortunately my clowns were killed by my Chromis before they had a chance to even get familiar with the anemones. They say that sometimes clowns will host fake anemones just as they will real ones. I'll let you know when I get more clowns if they start hosting.

Identify stuff on rocks Can someone help me identify this whitish stuff growing on my rock? I'm starting to get a lot of it.

Less Fish. Well I'm back down to 4 fish. It seems my Chromis do not like tank mates. They have killed both of my small clownfish, my Royal Gramma and one of their own. I now only have 3 Chromis and the Firefish. I'm going to wait awhile before I get any new fish. Next time I get clownfish...

Picture of all my fish.

Fully Stocked I finally got my last 2 fish, now I am fully stocked. 2 Oscellaris Clownfish 4 Blue/Green Chromis 1 Royal Gramma 1 Purple Firefish 20 Nerite Snails 5 Cerith Snails

What kind of gloves do most people wear while working in their tank to keep from getting stung by bristle worms?

Something new! Please look at the picture and help me identify the growth or worm on my rock. Thank you.

Diatoms are mostly gone. Chromis are doing great! They even recognize me when I get close to the tank and come up thinking I'm going to feed them. They love to eat and are constantly looking for food. Feeding Cyclops and Mysis Shrimp along with some marine flake food.

I will not use products that are not for saltwater tanks. I have a good LFS that I listen to as well as GOOD advice I get from most posters. Thank You. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

FISH!!! Well my new inhabitants have been acclimated and are now swimming in their new home. Next fish will be Put in QT before going in the DT. Here's a picture of my new fish.

Thanks. I have the stress coat and didn't get the message until I got home. Will be going back to LFS to get some medicine.

Going to buy 4 Blue/Green Chormis today. Can't wait for my first fish. Also going to start a QT tank this weekend so I can add more fish after the QT cycles.
