Hi two all and thanks in advance for all the help.
Ive been reading here for about a week.
Here's what I have:
2 30" Coralife PC hoods with 10,000k and blue lights
overflw box w/v tube?
sump with bio balls and Eheim pump
(No idea on specs sump is about 24x8x14 two compartments)
1 802 power head
2 smaller power head ( no numbers on them eather)
Aquaruim Systems skimmer (Seaclone?) with Maxi Jet 1200
Tomato Clown
Picasso Trigger
Lunar Wrasse
Bursa Trigger
Dragon Wrasse (juvi)
Lawnmower blenny
Clown Trigger
Sixline Wrasse
Blue leg Hermit (started with 6 saw at least 5 last week)
Nerite snales ( Had 30 but the triggers think they're dessert, maybe 5-6)
So... here come the questions please dont quit on me now!
Is my tank over loaded?
Do I have enought flow/ turn over rate?
With my current livestock can I do anything to get a functioning sand bed?
I cant see any little critters day or night. ( no tunnels in the sand)
Nitrates and Phosphates were off the charts when I started.
Still in the process of bringing those down
currently 20-30 & .4-.6
I put in a nitrate sponge 2 days ago this seemed to help a lot but I removed it this AM in case it was exhausted ( packageing said 2 days to 1 week)
can this be regenerated like adsorption resin or do I just throw it out and repurchase?
Is the resin the same thing?
Oh! There is a shallow sand bottom 1-3" and Live Rock
Im not sure how much by Lb it spans the tank about 51"x12" high with lots of caves and holes.
Ok I think thats enought to put everyone into a comma so I stop here for now
Sorry its so long
