I have a coral beauty in my 55 reef should make an excellent addition in you fowlr what size tank you have?

With the already cured live rock your tank might as well be cycled already, atleast for the small.amonpujt of waste produced by the shrimp, and is why your not seeing increase on ammonia. Just monitor for the next week or so and if no increase in amlnia/nitrite I would assume you could add...

Hmmmm alot comes to mind and a little comes to mind.... If your tanks parameters are fine there isn't much to worry about with a mushroom frag very hardy. I would assume, New to reefing my self some one will chime in if I'm not right... But enjoy they grow quick and IMO look buetifull. -Owen

Nice pickups great color, looks good! -Owen

Hey all, Was just curious if anything needs to go into the tank besides water and salt? Like can a reaf tank be maintained just fine without using stuff like for mg,alk....etc... TIA -Owen

On a plug I assume? Rock works fine. -Owen

Alright that's what I thought, thanks for confirmation. So pods will due no harm only good, good to know. I'm still curious why the huge increase in population. My hypothesis: in building the sump I did not let my silicone cure long enough before use which in return unleashed a fury of ammonia...

Hey all, New to the reef game started at the begining of summer tank is 55gal about 75lbs live rock 2 ocerlis clowns and CUC including snails,hermits,crabs 20 gal sump/refugium. My question to yall is I just recently built and installed my sump roughly a week ago, now since then my pod...

Hermits and snails, to start shrimp,crabs,stars,slugs down the line but. Reefcleaners.org is a pretty good site for all that stuff. Good luck -Owen

So through researchin a have found that silicone II during curing process releases ammonia. I think I might not have cured it long enough before use and releases high levels of ammonia into my tank. All levels are normal now and have been the last 24hrs so I'm just crossing my fingers my corals...

Alright so I propped the return pump up so that it sits pretty high in the return section of the sump figured if the overflow stops working I'm gonna flood my display tank and then burn out the pump anyways from running dry so I figured I would just make it so it won't flood my display will have...

Cool that's what I figured. little smell test thanks smitty

And how long should I leave in there? I just can't tell if they are dead or just sick as these are my first corals. All the zoas just look like they are reallllly closed up, the hammer is complete shriveled up exposing it's Skelton but remains color, torch is only sticking out like 1/4 inch from...

I did yes and to my understanding I was using aquarium safe stuff from my researching and now I'm not that sure seen slot of ppl out there that have used it with no problem I used GE 100% SILCONE TYPE II

Ok don't know which ones those are but doubt I have any I have torch,hammer,Xenia,mushrooms,cand cane,zoas that's it ( had)

So I built and installed a new 20 gal sump for my 55gal and also picked up a used skimmer. Installed 2 days ago all good on the plumbing install/so and so fourth moved my HOB refugium contents to the new bigger refugium in the sump and turned it on went to bed. When I woke up all coral appear to...

Not worried about losing syphon on the PVC overflow any more than a HOB overflow ran hours of test with it in the bathroom simulating power outage and so fourth and faired up fine. Just do not want a flood lol.... So trying to think of every scenario I can for flooding of a sump and this one...

So don't loose syphon on my over flow? -Owen

This is freaking awesome thanks so much! Did not even think of having the return in the middle and then The refugium being fed by the pump. need to take some flow off my pump as I'm sure my overflow isn't going to be able to handle 900gph - 1foot overhead. great idea! I still have one question...
