Haha...Challenge accepted...:h5:

Yes...that's what the LFS said but he also offered to trade them back when I am ready to add corals and more easy going fishes later.

Well I think it was my acclimation method. I live 15 minutes from the store and might have expedited the acclimation process. There is no sump but the water movement is plenty. I introduced a damsel last night and it been almost 20 hours...she is doing fine and eating too. I pray she...

I checked with the store fish had been there for a week. I have two hudor 550 what more do I need? Can u guide me on the placements of power head please?

Is this not enough movement on the surface? VID-20130207-00005 - YouTube

well i am using an API test kit. I am going to take my water to the LFS today to get it tested by them. I am just super confused now...if all the parameters are ok then why did the fish die? i checked the ammonia the day of the death and it was 0. :frustrat::frustrat:

i bought a KH test kit and the dKh came at 15. is that too high? i am hesitant to add any fish now. I am going to add a shrimp and do the cycle again and test every day to see how the readings come in.

After three weeks the nitrates were higher than they were when started the tank.

Well now I am not sure if it cycled or not. From what I have read online live rock should be enough to start the cycle. I have a test kits and the only thing above sea room was nitrate. Around 5 ppm. So tell consensus seems to be that I should restart the cycle by introducing a shrimp?

I didn't use a fish or shrimp or food to cycle the tank...only live rock and live sand. i did check the water levels but once after 3 days and later after almost 2 weeks so I might have missed the spike... how can i ensure there is proper gas exchange?

my wife kept saying that there is probably no oxygen in the tank but how can i measure that? i couldn't believe it after so much water movement. the water from the HOB filter falls into the water like a 2 inch water wall and i can see bubbles being created and going all the way to the bottom of...

I cycled the tank with LFS live rock and carib sea live sand...didnt add any food or raw shrimp as some people do. one power head is on the back wall, 3 inches below the water line and facing up on a 45 degree angel. second power head is on the opposite side wall so perpendicular to it, three...

i floatied the bag for 45 minutes then I acclimated them by adding and removing the tank water to the LFS water 1 cup at a time and waiting 10 minutes in between. I dumped all the water into the tank including the LFS one. i am using Hydor Koralia Evolution Powerhead (550 GPH) and get riple...

I hope some one here to can tell me what went wrong....i cant stop pulling my hair out. I added 1 chromis to my new 45 gallon saltwater tank after 3 weeks of cycling...the fish looked healthy for 24 hours in the tank and then died :bye2: :cry: :bye2: before it died the fish was swimming around...
