Thank you to everyone on the advise you have given me.

Thanks Biff, I have not used any copper meds while the rock was in the freshwater tank.

Hello everyone, I just got a 29 gallon bio cube tank(new in box). I have a lot of lava rock from my freshwater 30 gallon tall tank that I want to use in place of LR for base then add LR on top to see. Can this be done? Also has anyone used the black live sand? I was looking for feedback on...

sorry, I just checked my records for last recorded, come to find out, they are old results that were posted to this thread. I had a water testing done at my LFS 2 days ago. I was informed the reading were in check. Did not record exact reading at that testing. I did a water change this week...

Hello my salty friends, I have a red bubble algae problem. Any advise on how to get rid of the stuff? :frustrat: My tank readings are good, nitrate 0, nitrite 0, alk 100, ph 7.2 cal 350, ammon 0, phos 0. My tank is 12 gallon nano with live rock, live sand, 1 clown, 1 chromis, 4 snails, 1 fire...

thanks Bifferwine

UPDATE: I have been checking my nitrates daily for the past 3 days and results have been 0. I will be taking a sample to my LFS this week to verify my results. The leather coral that is in the back of the tank is showing improvment, I can see the little filters beginning to extend from...

Is chaeto the green ball of stuff that looks like spaghetti? If so I added that to my tank last week.

Yes you should have your water tested for phosphates, just found out today my is high and my corals are showing signs of unhappyness. I had my checked a local LFS.-Pirate-

Welcome to the marine hobby. I myself is rather new to salt. We can learn together. lol

Hello everyone, Today I had the phosphates checked, They are real high. I have added some phosphate remover to the back of the tank. Nitrites 0, calcium 350, Nitrates 25, salinity 1.023, forgot the # of phosphates. I made a 2 1/2 gallon water change and vaccumed of the sand. Thanks to all for...

Last night I upgrated the pump to a maxi-jet 1200, I also added a protein skimmer. Today I notice more little feelers around the healthly coral. :) I consider that improvement. I do see little bumps on a small section of the rear coral, looks like the feelers may be trying to emerge from it. :)

I purchase RO/DI water from my LFS

Thank you all for the great advise. Do you advise on a skimmer and an upgraded pump for my nano? Future plans for my nano will be reef tank with 1-2 fish only.

Thank you for advise. No fish, I just got a snail 3 days ago and some spagg. algae. Yes, I have been rinsing media with old water.
