    High Nitrates! Help!

    When I get paid I'll buy a good testing kit. I have my step mom mix up salt for me. She has 3 tanks and has been in this hobby for years. She just doesn't know what else to do either.

    High Nitrates! Help!

    Hi guys, I've done everything the LFS has told me to do about my nitrates. They're over 200 on the pink test strip. I did like a 40% change on Sept 14th (suggested by LFS), added a cap of prime and pH.. and it's still high. NOW, all my other levels are perfect.... just these dang nitrates...

    Still can't get my nitrate levels down. It was suggested I add prime and a pH balance liquid. I go back friday to check. I've started feeding every other day because i was over feeding.. my sand was getting gross. I still need live rock but money is kind of tight right now. I did get some...

    Hi everyone! Recently I acquired an LED light from a friend who was upgrading. Fluval full spectrum marine led. I know many of you suggested the kessil and I'm definitely going to get one in the future, but someone giving me a free LED isn't bad.. right? J is "cleaning out her tank" so to...

    Lighting for column tank?

    I have some leather frags that my step mom brought over with some more LR today. The LR that was already in the tank when I got it has some growth on it. 2 different LFS have said it looks like Yuma, but only time will tell. The tank has been established for 2 years before I acquired it. As...

    Lighting for column tank?

    Right now, I'd like to stay under $200. I know that in this hobby cheaper is not better and I fully understand that lighting is essential to the growth of the corals & anemones. I just want something to get me started until I can spend $300-$500 on a good lighting system.

    Lighting for column tank?

    Good afternoon everyone! I've posted about my lighting situation on a different thread but I thought I'd start it again here. I have a 47 column aquarium I recently acquired off of my local craigslist. I want to have all kinds of corals and anemone but am having trouble finding decently...
