double post sorry

Have any ideas what it could have been? i am clueless!

Thanks, thats what i was kinda thinking too. All my inverts and corals are fine so are my 2 clowns, all others are dead or just about. Do you think carbon will clean out the rest of the "chemical" that seeped that the 40% WC didnt take care of?

Well I got it from Petsmart cuz my LFS was closed by the time i was able to go. I am thinking either stray voltage or some chemical was on the heater that didnt come off with the RO bath. What i think is weird as that it happened in my tank and in my buddies tank and we got the same heater at...

It was a 10 minute round trip! All params are 0! tank stayed at 78*

No heat stayed at 78*

So i heard the marineland stealth pros were being recalled. I went to trade mine in with my buddy who also had one. The only heaters they had were cheap Top Fins. So we bought them till our Eheim Jaegers come in next week. we put the heaters in the tanks (rinsed with RO water first) and we both...

Ok so i thought i was on the right track for my sump, then, i started second guessing myself and now i think i just confused myself more. Here is what i have. Its a 55 gal tank non-drilled but already filled with rock and water, i was going to use a 20L for my sump, maybe 30 if i can get it to...

No i am doing the comunity tank thing first!

its not on my live sand but i have a lot of current in my tank.

what does the diatom bloom look like?

btw its been running for a little under 2 weeks. and i have 2 damsels in there now.

yes i used live rock and i kept them in water in transport and it was only out of the original tank for no more than 10 mins.

So my tank has been running a while to cycle. i finally found a saltwater API test kit and i tested today ammo=0 nitrites=0 nitrates=10ppm. does this mean my tank is finally cycled? i am more familiar with freshwater so just wanted to make sure.

I am supposed to pick up a cleaner shrimp today and i checked my water and my saltinity is at 1.019. as long as i acclimate him and steadily raise it, will it cause a problem?

that makes sense. but if you dont have anything in your sump, whats the point? sorry for the noob questions.

Wouldnt a sump do the same thing?

so would having a canister filter on the system hurt it?

So i am about to start my salt tank and had questions about filtration. I have a 55gal which i plan on using live sand, some crushed coral, and atleast 55 lbs of live rock. i have the following filters from my freshwater days: Penquin 350 biowheel, AC110 (500), and a Rena XP3 canister. which...

Thank you every one for the warm welcome so soon!!
