So i have been going crazy as most of you trying to get rid of the nitrates in my water. I been doing water changes every other day. was doing 20 gallons..now 40 gallons... and i tested my water yesterday and my nitrate read 80 still....so i used my dads test kit (same brand) and still got...

nice...can you post some pictures of your 180?

thats so true, im hippo tang gets sick if you look at him wrong.. before i went to a reef tank i had a huge grouper in my tank..he was like 14 inches long, which is small for a grouper but that guy was a beast and nothing got that guy upset..god forbid i ever loose all my coral in some major...

this makes me think back to my freshwater tank with oscars in it. They ate whatever I was cooking. LOL. Raw chopmeat, salami, whatever and they never got sick. Saltwater fish are so weak.

calaxa you do come off rude in your posts. I know we are reading text but when we read it itcomes off that way. As for my hippo getting ich 3 times. It's my belief that ich never leaves my tank. When I add new fish it seems to cause an ich breakout. Could be the new fish but I think it's just in...

I have garlic drops that i add to my food, if a break out of ich starts. There is a ton of debate whether or not it works fighting ich. But in my personal experience, my fish have beat the ich everytime. I dont know if its the garlic, but i think it has something to do with it. My hippo tang got...

i think everyone misunderstood, im not having any problems , im actually having really good growth (for once)..i was just curious if people had any (old fashioned ways)of doing things....being im only in saltwater for 2 years, i wouldnt know of any tricks or tips for reef keeing.. Starting out...

if you add iodine and have strong current it will grow quick, but still not quick enough where you can't control it..you can cut out whatever you dont want and give it to a friend if you want..lol

that growth is about 9 months...star polyps are like zoos they grow crazy if they are in a good spot..(strong current, lighting, iodine)

As long as you keep up on them they are controllable , i have a whole tank of corals without any problems except for one set of zoos that grew out of control and took over half the tank...but nothing landscaping couldn't fix..

no problems, but i see all these additives to add to your tank to help your coral grow, so i was just wondering if there was a home remedy type of additive..

This guy at work is a diver and he swears there is coral off the jersey coast. he didn't say which kind, but swears by it. Is there cold water coral because isn't the water up here too cold for most corals?

check them out...i bought a 4 inch rock online and it now spread all over the place..my tank is 180 gallons and the picture is of the overflow to the back of the tank to give you an idea of how much area it is covering...right now it is covering the top half of the overflow...i hope it covers...

thanks..regardless im not putting vodka in my tank, i can barely keep everything alive using just water and salt..lolol..

lol..they do sound like haircare products..It was a good feeling to have people think your tank looks good..especially with how many mistakes i seem to have made along the way...its like once i get my tank running good, i mess something else up..lol..But i guess everyone would be in the hobby if...

Hey guys, I have read on different websites about people putting crazy things in their reef tank to speed up growth ect. Can you guys post anything other then commercial bought stuff. For example i read in a post here that people put vodka in their tanks? that sounds crazy to me, can someone...

Hey guys, i won tank of the month over at reefbuilders.com which is a reef site i was on before i found new jerseys reef site..check out the prize i won...Has anyone used any of it? I wanna do some research before i try using any of the products..

thats what i figured, i wasn't gonna do anything to it, i was just curious...i guess all the life in there picked that spot because its undisturbed and predator free in both sides...thanks for the replies..

my 180 gallon tank has two corner overflows...When you look at them from the outside , it looks like something from the movie aliens..i mean there are hundreads of pods, bugs, all kinds of things swimming around as well as all these things growing all over the pvc pipes and walls. the overflows...
