When should I add a cuc. Everything is coming down to 0. Nitrates are at 20 and holding.

As far as which chalice it is a lava eye and the color is great! All my stuff has great colors and looks good just grows slow I guess. I will keep up with what I am doing and see how it goes. Maybe i am just impatient.

Yea I run Carbon. I realize that..as an example I have a chalice frag that had one mouth that I got a the BAYMAC this year, now it has two mouths. Green plate monte red digitata maze coral all show very little growth. My monte's have very little growth, just like little branches maybe 4-6 mm...

I have been feeding my reef Roti Feast, Phyto Feast and Oyster Feast. I feed once a day usually at night. I am getting great growth with my softies but not much with my SPS or LPS. Nothing is suffering but nothing is thriving. Am I missing something or doing something wrong?

Ok so I moved it. I gently removed it trying not to damage its foot. I looked at the bottom of the clam before I put it in my tank last week curious of what the foot looked like and there was nothing there. After removing it today I looked again to see if there was any obvious damage. What...

My clam has attached itself to the bottom of my tank. I want to move it over to make space for something else. How do I move without tearing it's foot?

I tested my water today and my NH3 has dropped to 0 now. My nitrites are still high at 5 and nitrates are climbing to 20. I am starting to get a lot of brown algae on my rocks. At what point should I add some hermits and snails to start cleaning up the algae. I have one in there now that was...

While my tanks is cycling I have been trying to decide where I want to move my corals that are in my 12 gallon. two of the many corals I have is a torch coral and a frog spawn that are getting huge. Could they live close to each other? Since they are close to being in the same family are they...

Well I am guessing, I would have to test it out to see how much exactly but that is the thought.

Can I just dilute some NSW in my ATO so that I don't get hyper salinity with the top off and let my skimmer just drain into a collection cup at a rate of about a gallon a day?

There is a thread on RC about "wet skimmate water changes" What exactly is this and how is it different from emptying your skimmer cup when it is full and doing regular water changes?

So my tank has been cycling, ammonia is holding at 2.0 nitrite at 1.0 and nitrate has now climbed to 20. My question is about phosphate it has gone from 0 up to 0.5. I had planned on running GFO should I start running it now or wait till my cycle ends?

I am trying to arrange my powerheads in my tank and I want to see what others have done. right now I have two circulation pumps a k4 and a Seio m1500. The Korilla is middle height on the far left side panel pushing water across the display side of the tank lengthwise. The seio is on the...

Great thanks for the advice I will do that.

Sorry already bought the clam.

So I think I am ready but I want to run it by everybody first. My tanks has been running 10-11 months. I am running a 150w MH over 12 gallons (plenty of light) and my water chem is Sg 1.023, NH3 0, NO2 0, NO3 5, PH 8.2-8.3 small fluctuation, CA2 420, DKH 8, PO4 0. Any reason I am not ready...

How long typically should my cycle take. I am at a week I am not being inpatient I am just following my cycle. My NH3 has spiked (holding at 2.0) and stopped climbing as well as my N02 (holding at 2.0). Typically in the larger tanks how long will NH3 & N02 stay peaked before it begins to drop...

Is the Elos mag test kit reliable? Has anyone used it before? http://www.marinedepot.com/ps_ViewItem~category~Elos_Aqua_Test_Kit___Magnesium_Saltwater_Aquarium_Supplies_Test_Kits_Specialty~vendor~Elos_USA~SearchStr~~action~view~idProduct~EO4129~idCategory~FITKSI~tab~2.html
