There is a little bit of pink in it? I'm not sure what that means. I have some gravel that's probably not as good as sand. Is there anything that I should get? I have a gift certificate that my mom got me for Christmas.

 

[1guydude]

Wait and see wat ya got on sat.

The water looks clear. U like ur aquascape? Needs more spaces imo....

Nice cube it's looking good!

I'm having troubles with my skimmer. I'm not sure how to get the bubbles up correctly. It seems to be submerging. My caregivers are in charge But I can give them instruction.

 

[dexter]

Okay, it has been two weeks since I initially set it up. I will do my first water change either tonight or tomorrow to bring the calcium down and the ammonia. I did get some coral at the bob moore frag swap but unfortunately a few of them have already died. I need to let my tank cycle a little longer. My salinity level is .26. Some people say that I should keep my salinity around .23 but I have had bitter experience with a higher salinity. Any feedback would help. also I'm wondering about how high the water level should be to get the bubbles to run over the skimmer cup.

Wait and see wat ya got on sat.

I just wanted to say a big thank you again
