    Current USA Orbit lighting question

    Hello all, not to long ago I purchased a 30" Current USA Orbit PC light fixture for my tank. It has two 65 watt pc bulbs in it, one actinic and one white. I have heard, from my LFS, that the fan supplied with this fixture should come on when the white bulb is on. So when only the actinic bulb...

    White Sand Gone Brown

    Thanks for the info Steve. I do know that they (My LFS) provides RO/DI water, but I will have to ask them about the TDS of the water. From what you are saying it should be very low since they are using a Deionizer.

    White Sand Gone Brown

    Cannot Keep Nitrates Down!

    Thanks Steve. Question though. . . if the ceramic rings have been taken out of the tank, wouldn't the live rock just produce the same amount of Nitrates, or would the ceramic rings produce more Nitrate than the live rock? I will probably take the ceramic rings out anyway because I would like...

    Cannot Keep Nitrates Down!

    I am pretty new to this forum, and to Saltwater Aquaria for that matter (I love this forum by the way). I have a 37 gallon tank that has been up and running for about 1 month now and is probably just about to finish cycling. My problem is that I cannot get my Nitrate levels down. They are...
