Yes they are ive done a water change twice today at like 10% each. Which has already brought that phosphate down. Hammer seems to really appreciate that. Buy the time I go through the water I bought today from my local fish store, I'll have about 80% of that shitty tap water out of the tank. I...

it's just the generic API two bottle dropper kit.

Lol don't say that to load! The wife might here you. Lol I realize now why people with smaller tanks want bigger ones right away. Looks like its time to get the dremel and the screw driver out and do some mods

i havebeen doing better water quality changes for the last two weeks. I think that this next one should bring me down to a manageable level for the hammer coral. Question? does the Gfo rector sit outside of the tank? That has been my biggest problem as far as filtration is concerned since the...

Thanks for the post erik. The hammer is doing much better today. It opened a little over night and stopped sliming which I'm asuming is from irrataion from being moved. I'm guessing this perticular coral doesnt like to be moved a lot. Anyway Ill be heading down the personal ro filter soon...

Is anyone running this tank? And what would be a good filtration setup for the tank without modding the crap out of it? Currently running filter sponge. Carbon bags. And that's it.

Thanks guys. I'm very bummed about my bad decisions and bad info to start with. This is my first tank. I'm learning as I go. Didn't want to hurt any animals in the process. I'm going to do a 20% water change tomorrow and see how it goes. I know Rome wasn't built in a day. I'm hoping it will hang...

Not sure what that is. I hope its that simple. I'm going to let it be over night and see how it looks in the morning

Yes I did. Drip acclamation . Ill work on a pic

Yeah I know

So should I take it out or what? Give it some time?

I just bought a hammerhead coral its been in the tank about 6 hours now. Its very limp and sucked in with some slime coming out of it. Should I be worried? My params are good but the phosphate is at 1.0 ppm. And the calcium is at 500. water temp is 80. I put it in the sand with medium flow and...

Just not really opening up. Seems to be very flat and letting out a bit of slime its been in the tank for about 6 hours and I drip acclamated. For about an hour and 45 mins

Since the tank has cycle the level have never gone up. It's been pretty stress free. Until i added the hammerhead coral and tested for phosphate. I know I should have done that before but I'm here now lol. Seems like the census is as long as I find a good water source until I can install my own...

There's a store called Gil's in temecula which I just found out sells the ro water for 35 cents a gallon. They seem to have really nice stuff. I'm going to try their water and see what happens.

The tank has been cycled since 4/14 water prams have been at 0. I've also been adding special blend bacteria

Yeah I know I had to learn the hard way. Unfortunatly my hammerhead is going to pay for it. I'm thinking about doing a water change tomorrow and see if it helps. And again another one over the weekend. I'm done with the tap water.

Quick info I started the tank with tap water also using prime. Recently switched to ro water adding it in with my water changes. Which I'm more than positive has already lowered my phosphate levels. I'm doing 20% water changes weekly I'm thinking the tap water and a little bit of over feeding is...

I don't have a skimmer. I'm running a 28g aqua euro and can't find anything that works well without having to take the hood off. Theres really not a lot of room in the back compartments.

Okay I realize I'm in the nub stage still. My phosphate levels are at about 1.0 ppm. And I just added a hammerhead coral. He seems bummed. So basically what's the quickest way to get that out without adding a lot of stress to the tank? Any questions or suggestions woukd be apperciated. Thanks...
