    cal/alk and ph not sure if this is a problem in my tank...

    thank's I know that right now part of my problem is my tank has to re equilibriate after the fuge/skimmer/rock addition, so I really don't want to play with anything to much, until everything settles, I have been adding calcium ( trying to get it back up since it plumited again, I'm using the...

    Hector's goby

    From everything I read I understood that they only supplimented their diet with algea. In any case I returned one as I assumed that my tank should not house 2 hector's gobies. Presently I have 5 fish 2 x1 inch clowns, 2 x hi-fin gobies and 1xhector's I will be adding 2x " blank" (not sure...

    cal/alk and ph not sure if this is a problem in my tank...

    I thought that large of a water change would cause unnessasary stress to the system, I just added 25g (sump) to the system( display is a 30g) last week and had half my corals shrival up ( most are opening/less shocked now) my calcium has dropped way faster then I expected. I've been dosing with...

    cal/alk and ph not sure if this is a problem in my tank...

    I read the readings( thank you, all makes sence now, we were keeping the screen door open for a bit every night to let fresh air into the house, until a few days ago, at which time Toronto decided that winter was finally coming. Another thing, my calcium is continously decreasing, if i did a...

    Hector's goby

    I was wondering if anyone has any info/ experience with Hector's gobies. I bought 2 gobies and was under the impression that I had bought a different type of goby ( a carnivor, my fault, I got confused at the store), but once I got home, I realized I now have 2 Hector's gobies. Amblyeleotris...

    how dead is dead?

    Will do SueT thanks everyone for responding so quickly, parameters are stable ( had a bit of pH swing at nights after the sump addition but that's dealt with already) so I'll just have to see.

    how dead is dead?

    I wasn't sure if they would negitively effect anything in the tank, So since they won't i'll just leave them in there and see what happens. I really do like them, and I was so suprised that I've been able to keep them alive and growing ( until now) as this is my first tank, but the massive water...

    how dead is dead?

    This might seem like an odd question, but I need to determine how dead is dead in regards to sps's. So here's the story. I had 4 frags that were given to me, they all seemed happy and were growing. Last friday I added a sump to my display, 30g display with 25g sump, I let the water age...

    cal/alk and ph not sure if this is a problem in my tank...

    okay so now i'm having pH swings, 7.9-8.0 during the day, to 7.7 in the morning before lights on. Should have never added the sump :( So should i try keeping my sump on during alternating light cycles?

    My first and Only tank ( 30g)..so far ;)

    okay so I attached my fuge and rescaped my tank. Note to self, when attaching fuge, do NOT use unrinsed live sand! So the pics are a little cloudy ( from the fuge) and the corals are non to happy (although there getting better). fuge And "tank" the pistol shrimp A pic of "tanks" new...

    Sump/fuge plans....will this work?

    thanks I really like this setup better, lots of holes and places for the fish and shrimp to crawl around it, it's amazing how much rock you can put in and still have swimming room, I think there's close to 60lbs in the main and 20 in the sump. I have one more question, can you put shells into...

    Sump/fuge plans....will this work?

    okay so not a shot of anything important except "tank" who will no longer be able to knock over/steal any of my corals for his tunnel reinforcement ( he's really cool actually) And here's a pic of my mad tank and some loverly cloudyness (everything is starting to open up, and once I put the...

    Sump/fuge plans....will this work?

    well to give the CRP credit, it wasn't it's fault, it was mine, i didn't put the overflow pipe in the sump properly, so it kinda fell out when i started the siphon...my bad, but were not going to talk about that right? :cool: so far with my mock "power shutdowns" everything has started back up...

    cal/alk and ph not sure if this is a problem in my tank...

    okay so I finally hooked up my sump to my display tank, and now I have a problem.... So In the sump I added the agri-live pink sand, when it finally settled I attached the sump/fuge to the display, now all my corals look made at me, and my chemistry is even worse then before. ( I should also...
