    PLEASE HELP! nano tank going crazy

    As for the food, yes we will definitely go with frozen from now on! And I will also have to look into GFO we don't have any and I had no idea what it was until I googled it! You can see how uninformed I still am... I really appreciate all the comments!

    PLEASE HELP! nano tank going crazy

    Thanks for the info, I will definitely read up on this and see what we can do about the leves ASAP. I'm still unsure of how all this chemistry works. I was more into biology then chem in school!

    PLEASE HELP! nano tank going crazy

    We've had it for two months, but we purchased it as an established aquarium from another reefer. It was doing really good for over a month and slowly started to go south from there. We tweaked the lights and don't remember how he had them set up in the first place (oops). Right now we are...

    PLEASE HELP! nano tank going crazy

    PLEASE HELP! nano tank going crazy

    2 days ago this is what we got: Nitrate: 0, phosphate: 0.01, calcium: 240, magnesium: 1700, alkalinity: 10.9, temp around 29c. Don't know the pH. Salinity was normal, but don't have the numbers. We added some calcium yesterday and tested right after and it showed 600...

    PLEASE HELP! nano tank going crazy

    There is another thing I'm puzzled about. We have 2 millepora SPS that seems to be doing better now, their polyps are showing good color and moving slightly from the flow. But the 1 larger acro frag is not showing the little hairs at all (it hasn't opened since we brought it from the store)...

    PLEASE HELP! nano tank going crazy

    A lot better now, looks like corals are slowly recovering. We did do a major water change and got some test kits and tested the water. The thing is, we did the water test after doing the water change so unfortunately we don't know exactly what was wrong with the water before. We also added...

    PLEASE HELP! nano tank going crazy

    Ok, please bear with me, I'm pretty new to all this stuff, and I do now know that a nano tank is harder to keep than a larger one... This is is what's going on: LOTS of hair alegea, SPS (millepora) turning white from tips and a little on sides. Sea urchin died, we took it out. Fish seems fine...

    LEDs running too high? Question about corals...

    The tank is only 10 gal (we do want to upgrade in the near future), and the fixture pretty much covers the whole area of the tank. I see people using the same light for their 30 gal, so I'm now sure that the light is too intense. I will try lowering the total percentage to 40 like mentioned...

    LEDs running too high? Question about corals...

    Thanks for the advise. Those blues can be pretty conceiving!

    LEDs running too high? Question about corals...

    Also, how can I tell when the corals are getting too little or too much light?

    LEDs running too high? Question about corals...

    We lowered the white to a maximum or %45 during the daytime, while the blue is at %100. I find it too purple for my taste... We'll have to try lowering the blues a little and possibly raising the whites... still not sure what would be best for growing corals. I've been having a hard time finding...

    LEDs running too high? Question about corals...

    Yes, thats what I meant. I know that this might not be a big deal, but it just bugs me that they are not showing true color and we actually did change the placement yesterday, but still, the Orange is not showing through. Eventhough we have different zoas with orange feet and the color is also...

    LEDs running too high? Question about corals...

    On our light, we have an option of how many % white, and % blue... And each one has to be set. So should we do 100% both? We were pretty close to that in the middle of the day and I was thinking that's too much... How long would you say the coral need to get used to the light? My husband glued...

    LEDs running too high? Question about corals...

    Hi all, I am fairly new here... we are running a 10 gal Innovative Marine all in one tank. The light is an "Aquabeauty 35w." It's a nice little setup and we love it! But... Not sure on how the led lights should be set up. A few years ago we had a 75 gal with metal halides, so LEDs are new to us...
