Thanks. Going to have to go pick up some more buckets

My girlfriend and i may soon be moving into a house and i will need to move my 75 gallon fowlr tank. My intial plan is. Empty half the tank into my 55 and fill the rest with ro water then add half of...

I had a diatom proboem but i cut down on lighting time and its not a problem anymore. Plus the tank is only 5-6 months old. Thanks guys

As part of my regular bi weekly cleaning i change my filter sock. I have two. After i take the dirty sock out i typically hose it out to get any thick stuff out then leave it in a bucket with a mix...

Work faster! I want to see more pics lol. Looking good

I recently setup my first salt tank and used the correct amount of live rock, had it shipped 5 day ground. It had a lot of die off but cycled my tank in about two weeks. Theres so many methods. Cliff...

I have a 75g. I bought 800gph overflow 900gph return and put a valve inline on the return to balance the sump so it won't empty. At least I believe those are the correct gph off hand.

I bought an eshopps skimmer and its bubbling over the top too much. I figure illmgive it a week and see if it gets any better due to everyone saying mix results for up to a month

Something to keep in mind. So i guess i shouldnt worry to much about te algae growth at first but ill go pick up some stuff to combat it asap. Appreciate the help

I have 75 pounds in 75gallons. So i should just use an empty chamber besides heaters and skimmer. And now ill add chemi pure

I had a hob filter but the other day setup a eshopps sump overflow and skimmer just using bioballs.

It is also beginning to show on the crushed coral

Levels are good still. Although I believe I'm developing algae. Its only on the top rocks . (Branch) they turned white after being in the tank a few days and now they are turning brownish orange. I...

I bought 5 gallon buckets from home depot for $2.60 and the lid was another 1.20 i believe. Totally worth it

Checked the levels again this morning and still 0 across the board

The ammonia was very high when inadded the rock then after 5 days i added nitromax and it dropped it to near zero over night

this morning my levels were 0 ammonia 2.0-5.0 nitrites and 40nitrate. I just checked my levels again and im at 0 ammonia 0-.25 nitrite and 10 nitrate. Idk how it changed so rapidly with me doing...

I tested the water an hour after setting the rock and everything was as high as could be lol

Theres nothing i could do to speed the cycle i assume other then water changes

I added nitromax the other day and the ammonia has been consistantly 0. Nitrates were up in the 80-160 last night prior to a water change. So now only the nitrites havent changed. Im just nervous...

Check my levels today and im at 0 ammonia 2.0 nitrite 40 nitrate. Ive been doing small water changes the past few days and yesterday changed 24 gallons. I also went of and bought a sump and protein...

Well mine was shipped over 5 days wrapped in damp paper. So I expected a lot of die off

Well this tank was empty so i added it straight to it

Im going to check again in the morning and do a change and see where that brings me. When i ordered the rock i was told cycling as fast as 3-5 days. That seems unrealistic

I had read that. I just wasnt sure if there was a "too high" range. I assume over time the numbers will slowly drop

75g new aquarium. I just added 75lbs of live rock that was shipped to me. Tested the water a few hours later and ammonia, nitrates, nitrites are all off the chart. Should i be doing daily water...
