Okay so I nuked all my rock. I did this -Put rock in bleack and water for 2 days -Put in water and vinegar for 2 days (hoping bleach would be neutralized) -Put in tap water for 2 days (changing water every other day) -Put out in the sun to dry for a whole day I smelled the rock after the dry...

How long do you think it will take for the rock to cycle? I plan on adding water from established systems to the rock. You think it will help? Im hoping it will only take 2 weeks.

Hey, Just wanted to let you guys in on a update. I decided to fix my tank without getting rid of any fish. I really wanted to solve this dilemma due to everyone's advice. Solving it versus starting over is a better option. If I ever run into the problem again I would surely be able to fix it...

Whats the proper way to nuke the rock? (I heard a blow torch but I dont have one)

Your right. Im thinking maybe I should get some store credit for my livestock and get rid of everything and take my time starting back up, but this time the right away. Its gonna hurt my pocket and take alot longer saving up but I think its for the better. I dont want to be dealing with this...

All great advice. I understand about the water changes. Last semester I was taking 5 classes and working at least 55 hours a week, including weekends. So i was leaving home 4:30 and coming back at 11pm to start all over. It was because I wanted to finish my degree. This time around ill be taking...

This is my tank. It has been running for about a year now. Its a cadlights 22gal tank LED with built in refugium. As you can see I am fighting a algae problem and massive amount of aptasia. They are even in the refugium. Recently my pump broke. I ordered a new one already. I need some serious...

It all started when I decided to clean up my old jbj tank and sell it. My 4 year old daughter happened to be walking by and saw it. She began to jump up for joy automatically assuming it was for her. She said that it would go in her room and she would get a pink fish. I did not have the heart to...

It has been up fora year now. Im working with 20 gal. It has a built in refugium. I want to remove the rock to siphon out debris under it.

Will I disturb vital bacteria if I remove the rock rubble from the back of my tanks refugium to clean up and put back? Im scared to do it thinking it might do some serious damage. Is this alright? Has anyone done this before?

I am working on my daughters 6 gal nano and need to do a refugium light. I'm following this DIY http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=70138 but it turns out that light is no loner sold (plus there's no way to replace the bulb). Any one have any ideas of a small light that would...

Also called light diffuser. I tired home depot and nothing. I need very little. I found on the internet for 18 cheapest. Is there anywhere local I could try? I really have no m ma and pa hardware stores around. I even showed home depot a picture and they've never seen it in the store.

Im not sure if many of you have visited feng but he has a store in dunellen nj. Great guy. Ive been going there for my premade saltwater for awhile. He fills up a 10 gal for 5 bucks. Not bad if you ask me. Anyway im starting a new tank. My original tank I used nutri sea water in the beginning...
