Well I'm thinking Condy wasn't getting enough light in the beginning. I wasn't using t5. When I got the t5 bulbs and newer fixture, that's when I saw improvements... Or lack of zooxanthellae algae from before... Sent from my A200 using Tapatalk

Can u please give me some assurance/advice. Just tested my lr tank. No amm. No3 still there and possibly climbing. Bact dosed Rock 6/26 2 weeks later 7/10 wc 50% 7/12 added 12lb rock to rock tank Now 8/7 and showing no amm. But no3. I'm still using my api test kit and, I get it, its not great...

Well mr condi is still living ;) however he's has started to bleach. I'm sure that greenish colored he'd been was the beginning stage. I got new ati t5 bulbs a couple weeks ago and under that light, you can see the remaining zooxanthellae. Hes gunna be a good recovery story. I've seen bleached...

Yayy thats what i was thinking. ~relief~ I'm glad your a cool dude. Thanks. Apparently my name is manly to some -cough cough gumbii- I'd like for you to know, I'm a female, if u haven't figured that out. So, don't take offense to the fact I just said that... I'm trying to learn. You've been great.

If I was to find a couple other good rocks, would I be able to just put them in the rock bath with the seeded rock? I have access to some more... good more porus Fiji...

Thanks! I appreciate it should I Start with 1 in particular? Cal or mag? Based on the chemistry bonds I'm reading about I wanna make sure I'm not defeating the purpose of dosing one or the other. can I do both at the same time? Or like 1 1 day and the other the 2nd so at the same time but giving...

Tested today. Ph 8.2 Am 0 maybe a lil No2 0 No3 5 Phos .5 I did the 50% wc yesterday.

What could deplete the cal and mag? Since I'm a newb I haven't put anything in except lil sugar months ago for nitrate which helped that but, now thinking of it they may have been the root. I can't even say I had the lvls correct before. What I've mentioned is the only times ive tested and did...

Lfs uses api ; ( so I'm stuck till I get my new testers. I'm picking up the crystal mix tomorrow. We'll see how much that helps.

Salt mix- purple box instant ocean sea salt. (Was looking into io reef crystals. Bag says helps mag) and I have been using ro water for a lil more than a month now Sent from my A200 using Tapatalk

I've been changing 25 gal a week for the last month or so. I can't see its an even 7 day it goes depending on my job but at least once a week. Before that I was changing 15 gal or so a week. Then, once my no3 started climbing I went up to 25 gal. (I'm currently cycling live rock. I don't have...

Hi all. Newb with these parameters. Been researching for the last 4 hours trying to make sense of this jazz. Ive been spinning round and round trying to understand how these molecules or what not, bond and blah blah blah. I'll get it but, at this point I ask for help. Current testing, Cal-300...

Gotcha thank you! I agree. I'm gunna leave it go for another week which is when I'm supposed to do a 50% wc. Then I was told to cycle it for 2 more weeks, Or until lvls are down. I'll keep an eye on it. Thank u Ndrwater! ...I love the name! BTW

Algae looking green tint...

All I no is, all them critters I knew had to be on the rock, are no where to be found. I've found nothing, through out the whole process, to remove other than a brittle star and some astrina. I saw a good 3 or 4 inch bristle worm on the rock before it was dead and I haven't seen it. To remove...

1 rock looks like it's starting to grow dark green algae. Other than that, the tank came with a rack of some sort that lays in the bottom of the tank like a big grid. I left it in there. I could remove it need be. Should I do a wc?

I tested my LR h2o. Ph 8.2 Am .15 ppm No2 0ppm No3 5ppm Phos 1.3ppm What do you gather from this info? Have I dosed bact correctly? Is something off? It's only been cycling for 7 days with bacteria. Unfortunately I don't know what the bacteria was. It was from the lfs. They used it. Someone...
