    I have to say I do feel the same way.... I don't have that many posts nor really involved in many discussions because I don't have enough experiences to discuss or get into that many topics.... I did spent a lot of time reading and following to many threads. I got to say the site was really...

    Bubbles, everywhere.........

    I guess it comes down to the question, is your lockline above or under the water level? If it's under the water level, then I don't think it's the cause...also, I think the bubbles will stay there for awhile if you don't do anything about it... your coral slime will wrap around these bubbles...

    Bubbles, everywhere.........

    Did you check your skimmer? Sometimes it releases little bubbles at the outlet and if the return pump is sitting next to it then it'll be a problem... I was thinking of pulling the return pump a bit farther and use a small pump to blow the water direct to your coral to remove these bubbles....

    who builds big skimmers

    A skimmer that is 4-6 ft tall, you don't need to list "external" as one of the requirements buddy :) ..jk... I was thinking it should be at least 16" diameter.... what about the footprint?

    Do you mind to share where can you buy a new skimmer that size for $650? I'm also thinking of buying one in the near future.

    Question on a cycle of a new tank.......

    Absolutely not much at all for the book, especially in this hobby, $50 is just nothing (lesson learned :) )...emagine all the criters that we put in our system to clean all the wastes would cost three times that much, which IMO, I could not find them interesting in my naked eyes to enjoy hahaha....

    Question on a cycle of a new tank.......

    Thanks Jesse! I'll take the water to Barrier Reef and ask if they could help to test it out this weekend. Ok...now, I don't think what I have is a calcium reactor because I dont' see the CO2 canister nor the control valve, there's only a small pump connected to it by a flex hose...

    Question on a cycle of a new tank.......

    Good point Jezzeaepi, like I said... it's my first SW tank ever :) I thought the cycle happens when there are algae blooms in the tank... the reason I said my fish and corals are doing good because all my fish are very active and eating well, my corals are getting bigger just a bit too... I...

    Question on a cycle of a new tank.......

    Thanks Josh! I think there should be nitrates in the tank because I have four fish in there.... I haven't tested the water for a month now so it's hard to tell but both my fish and corals are doing good...
