Re: from the begining to now!
Ray was any of the rock you put in uncured? Maybe the cause of the nitrates?

Re: from the begining to now!
it was all cured ryan,so I was told. Yote thinks that maybe I had a mini cycle when i removed my emperor 280 and replaced it with the CSS 65 skimmer. I'm a little baffled about it myself.

Re: from the begining to now!
I like the hex tank. One day I like to get one but I was wondering what kind of light fixture do you use? or do you just put one halide light over it?
Great pix by the way! Mark
