i dont know what your situation is, but i almost called it quits three times so far and its only been 2 years..lol..all three were after major die offs of live stock, anyway hopefully you'll be back..good luck..

yeah I read the stuff on that site. My deresa clams are doing great. Hopefully it stays that way. When I learn how to do the dip properly I'll get some more clams. For now my tank is looking good and the fish and coral seem happy. So I'm gonna leave it alone for awhile

its been about a week since i been posting, and i am happy to say i was able to cut my nitrates in half, i got rid of the rubble rock in my sump,cleaned it out, and did 15-20 gallon water changes like every other day..i have two bags of carbon and 5 bags of nitrate spon ge in my sump also but i...

no problem...although if i break it down i could replace it with a bigger tank...lol.. ;D ;D

i would gladly do a 150 gallon water change if i could, but its not possible. the water temperture change alone would probably kill everything in the tank..thats why i chose to do smaller ones..the sps was purchased online so when it arrived in the mail i had no option other then to put it in...

I'm happy for the help but everyone is telling me to do something different. My tank was running with no deaths until I tested the water and tried to fix it with peoples recommendations. I'm gonna stick with just water changes. taking out 180 gallons worth of coral is not an option.

yeah i have to do that...i did it with another kit, but it was the same brand, bottle types ect..

in the past two days... >:( >:( all my water tests came back exactly the same...the only difference in the water is i added a bag of phosphate remover, (which i had in a bucket of RO water with pump blowing on it for a day)..i dont know if that could be the problem, but its the only new thing i...

i did test, and it is exactly the same, thats why i was wondering if i was just getting ahead of myself or does it take a couple weeks before the nitrate sponge starts to work.

Yeah but I was wondering if the nitrate sponge worked? How long it takes? Ect.

hello all, i recently tested my water which i hadn't done in months as i started to get lazy with my tank. well not surprisingly my nitrates were at like 60!!!!..Nothing was dying in my tank, but if i added anything to it, it usually would die. So last week i took some steps to try and get my...

well, i had five frags i put in my tank, even though my nitrates were off the charts....they all died...one by one the bleached out and are dead. im working on getting my nitrates down and i will try again..

thank you..

here is a full tank shot with my new geisman halides running..

lol..thanks...i have 5 more clams on the other side of the tank..i need to get a green colored clam...i have purples, blues, black white, brown, yellowish...need green..

Hi, guys, today i added 50lbs of live rock to my tank...all to the right side which now is filled in. that puts me up around 350lbs of live rock in the tank (180gallons)..i added some crazy growers i had in my tank to some of the rock in hopes it will spread around cause right now the rock is...

yeah, todays water change was 30 gallons..and i vacumed the floor of the sump and boy was it filthy. the water is nice and clear in the sump...i have two bags of carbon, and two bags of nitrate sponge in there right now. monday ill be adding phosphate remover to the sump, although my phos. are...

hello, all, so this week i have been really trying to clean up my tank. after months of kinda half a$$'ing it, i have been working to keep with regular water changes, cleaning skimmer ect. well last week i tested my water and no surprise my nitrates were off the charts...now i know testing kits...
