    I woke up this morning to most of my fish dead and my tank looking sick. I did a full water test and found everything noral except phosphates through the roof. I have a bag of Phoz-ban I was going to try and I did a water change immediatley. Curious what caused all this, the tank was very...

    I use RO/DI water, lights are down to only a few hours a day so I do not cause harmful affects to corals. How is your build going? I was going to see you but hd some troubles with wife and work and now limited at work

    Been awhile since II have posted, had a rough several weeks. A few things I have noticed with the tank though, and yes pictures to come soon. My goniporia frag used to open fully all of the time and now does not, anyone have insight to better care so I can get it to reopen? One of my...

    I have a critter I am trying to ID. I have tried taking a pic of him but he blends into the rock too well. It looks like a snail with a limpet or chiton shell on his back. He is about the size of a small marble. He sits on the edge of a rock and pumps out a white "cloud". Not sure what he is or...

    I picked up a Marineland Reef Capable LED fixture. I had read reviews and heard it was not the best, but my my 10g it has worked very well and even pentrates enough light to the sand bed.

    ok, lots of new stuff with my tank. At first I was in a situation where I was having to take it down, however, I was able to keep it. And boy am I happy. I switched to LED lighting which made a world of difference. I just got back from a week in Minnesota for work and now I could spend hours...

    10gal Nano

    All with the exception of about 1.5 gallons is R/O water. I saw no Diatom growth until yesterday when a tiny bit was starting to show on the sand and by this afternoon when I got home from work I could not see thru the side of the tank. I scraped and siphoned it of the sides of the tank. I do...

    A quick lighting question... Is 2 18" fixtures with a total of 4 bulbs enough light? Not enough? Too much? 2 bulbs burnt out today and I am using a 24" dual T5HO light strip with actinic and Blue bulbs as well as one of the 18" fixtures with an actinic and Blue Bulb until I figure out what...

    Today I found three 1/2" long bristleworms in my fuge. Should they be removed or allowed to stay. I know that it is ok to have a couple in a reef tank, but I am not sure how good they are in a nano tank. I am also seeing a HUGE algae bloom in the past 4 hours.

    Test results in a Nano

    Yeah I have no plans to add anything until it settles, Mainly curious why it is giving me the readings. The test kit is a Red Sea kit so it is not the greatest test kit in the world but it is working for the time being until I receive my new fancy one in the mail.

    Test results in a Nano

    So here is my question.... Is this a normal part of the cycle? Tank is a 10gal Nano with approx. 10lbs live rock, sand, refugium with Chaeto, a blue hermit, a snail, and a small Dragon Eye zoo polyp. Tank has been up for a few weeks now. I have not performed any water changes during this...

    Ok I think my LFS is horrible at water testing. I tested the water myself with a test set I bought and I am showing the following Ammonia: 1.0 Nitrites: .2 Nitrates:10 The LFS said I had zero for Ammonia and Nirites, Either test shows them down a lot from 3 days ago when i did have amonnia...

    10gal Nano

    Yes it was a typo, the amonnia and nitrites are zero as of this morning and nitrates on way up. Todd- I would be more than happy to stop by anytime you have free. I am avaliable all weekend if that works.

    Thanks for the info. The nice part about my refugium being attached to the back and on the to part of the back is that it gets light and good water flow from the main tank. I did just get a Dragon Eye Zoanthid frag from a friend of mine who has a large reef tank. My tank has already had a...
