    What about using cycled water...

    I just switched nano's last on Friday of last week. I set up the new tank (15 miles from old) with new sand and water on Friday, moved the live rock Saturday, and the fish & coral Sunday. Everything is working perfect so far!

    8 million gallon aquarium

    My apologies. i was there 2 weekends ago, evidently the day before one of the whale sharks died. So I guess they only have 3 now. I will be interested to see what the cause of death was. On a side note: What a great job to have. An aquarist that works on a 6.2 million gallon system. If...

    8 million gallon aquarium

    The Georgia Aquarium has 4 whale sharks. All doing well as of Saturday. They had a Beluga whale die in the last few weeks, but it had been battling a bone disorder since before they received it. The aquarium vets were trying to heal and rehabilitate the Beluga, but it stopped eating so they...

    Moving LS when switching tanks.

    I am going to be upgrading from a 55 to a 90 when I move in 3 months. How do I go about moving the LS into the new tank? Or do I? I have the option to set up the new tank first and seed, but i would like to get as much of my original sand in the new one as possible without completely...

    I have a 55 AGA Megaflow with an AquaClear Pro150 Sump. I am adding a seperate 12 gallon as my refugium and plumbing it seperately as well. My plumbing for the refugium is as follows: I am using the U-Tube and Overflow box only from the Aquaclear Pro150 (no skimmer/weir box). I have the...

    Injured Cucumber?

    I have a standard black cucumber in my cleaner crew (except this one is yellow). It has a slit going partially down its back. I believe it came that way from the LFS. The slit seems to have a white cottony substance covering it and this substance streams off of the cuke at times. I haven't...

    Help! - New Tank and Algae

    NaH2O, Thanks for the info on the nitrogen cycle. I have set my timers for 1hr actinic, then 8 hrs actinic and flourescent, then 1hr actinic. If there is a large algae growth, then I guess I will have a fun Sunday cleaning it up, but my snails got roughly half of it overnight. I hope they...

    Help! - New Tank and Algae

    Thanks, That was my plan. I just wanted to get the tank "seeded", get some cleaner crew in there, and I had to get 1 fish, so that the other half would be happy. Thanks for all of the help and information!

    Help! - New Tank and Algae

    Sorry, meant to put this in the original post. The LR was precured from the dealer, and I used Bacter-Vital to speed up the process a bit (supposedly, Bacter-Vital minimizes, and even eliminates the spikes). As is surely obvious, I am new to all of this, and have been going on the advice of my...

    Help! - New Tank and Algae

    Ed, Thanks. I'm glad this is normal. With me being out of town, should I be worried about what to expect when I get back Sunday, or will the clean-up crew keep it in check? John
