Well I have 2 different types of micro algae in the sump now, no bio balls at all in the overflow or the sump, and put a few more pieces of live rock in my sump. I also tried the vinegar thing suggested by gumbii. I'll test my water when I get home today, but still all fish and all my corals...

Ok that's what I'll do. Thanks for all the help though, and I'll keep you updated! Water changes is all I'll do for a month! Thanks again

Yeah I've checked all my levels and everything is perfect except nitrate. Yesterday after I did a 25 gallon water change I removed all the bio balls from my overflow. So now all I have in my overflow is a bag of carbon that has about 2 cups of carbon in the bag. And I did buy a picasso trigger...

I do use mysis and blood worms to feed my fish. I'll will try rinsing like you said. Thanks for all the help, I'm definitely going to go buy some of that seachem stability today and see if that helps. All my other levels are perfect, and all my fish and corals look great, I just need this...

I will take the bio balls out of my sump, and you're saying not to have any filter pads in the sump too? What will catch any waste then? And forfish I have 4 chromis, 1 maroon clown, 1 coral beauty, a diamond goby, and 2 pajama cardinals. I will try feeding less like every 3 days you say? And...

I've heard of vodka. How do you do it??

What is a qt tank?

I had oe for like 3 years and loved it. Only problem I had with it was knocking rocks over and eating a lot!

My nitrate levels are high, around 100 ppm. About 2 weeks ago I had to change tanks because of my glass tank leaking so I purchased a 125 acrylic. I saved all my water, live rock from my old tank and put it in my new tank. I bought 100 pounds of live sand and put it in the new tank. The new tank...

Thanks for the help. I herd most of these are just filter feeders. Is that right, or what should I be feeding them??

Hi I just got a bunch of beginner coral and was hoping someone could help me in the names and what I need to feed them etc. Thanks!!

Welcome. So you said you had a lion fish and puffer in your last reef tank. What kind of puffer? And did you have any problems with it or the lionfish? I would really like to add one of those or both to my reef setup!

New corals! I picked up some new beginner corrals last night. I have a few more, I'll post pics of them later!

Yeah I have some coraline growth on multiple live rocks, I just want it to really start growing. So maybe I'll try the purple up and see how it works!

Why would you get rid of the bio balls? Just wondering, I thought they were good. I was told they catch the beneficial bacteria, kind of like in a canister filter? What would you have in your sump then?? I do water changes every 2 weeks, and get my water from a fish store so my salinity always...

Maybe. What chemicals would I need?? Thanks for your help

Don't worry, I have checked it multiple times by turning off the power. The first time I did it, it over flowed. But I fixed the problem and the sump fills up a bit but not close to overflowing..
