I think i might do that and then if my tank still looks dirty just start adding more.

Wow if that website was up i would have done that. Im glad you picked those because i was thinking the same thing. But for a 12g I can stock that many snails?

lol talk about being creative right...

I got an email back from the company i bought the aquamend from and they told me that its NOT safe until AFTER it cures so i guess im not using it. I will probably go to the pet store and get some or order the one Twan posted. This is the second week i have had the tank now and ammonia and...

Nice to see if started. I actually like the way you aquascaped it!

I love the way you aquascaped the rocks. It looks good!

Yea definately. So you have your actinics (blue) come on an hour before and stay on an hour after your white lights? I heard this creates the effect of sunsetting/rising type of deal.

Thanks! Im sure this will be useful since I can use any extra information

Well theres definately brown stuff on my sand! I hope this stuff goes away in a couple days. Should I lessen the amount of light I give my tank? I was thinking something like: 9am - actinics on 10 am - whites on 8 pm - whites off 9 pm - actinics off 9pm - 9am - lunar lights Not sure exactly...

Can someone tell me the difference between diatoms and cyano because i dont know which one it is. Either way would snails or hermit crabs take care of this? About that product, I actually emailed the company and im waiting for them to get back to me on whether or not its safe for fish. Thanks...

Came home today to find most of my rock covered in brown algae. I left for two days and left the lights on timers which i think i shouldnt have left them on for so long. Testing paremeters: Ammonia - 0 Nitrite - 0 Nitrate - 10 Whats that green stuff growing up like that? Also, im guessing i...

Anyone else with advice on if i should use it or not? Maybe if it comes down to it I can try emailing or calling the company and see what they say.

I was at home depot a little while ago and found this. It says it can be used underwater (either fresh or saltwater). I just want to know if it will harm the water or live sand and rock. Let me know what you all think. Thanks

Yea i definately dont want to empty out the tank so i want to find a way to seal it with water in it. I just need to find something now. And i really should i siliconed the filter chambers like you did.

Soooooo as I was looking with a flashlight in my back chambers I realized this in chamber 2. Is this going to be a problem? Is there a way to see if water is flowing through it and can it be fixed if water is going through?

Looks great! How much did that light cost? Im thinking of using submersible leds but i know the way you did it is sure way your cheato will do good.

Thanks for all the responses i really appreciate it. Barely got any over nanoreef.com. As for a refuge, Im definately planning on doing one in my third chamber. Thats one of the reasons im looking for some rock rubble. I was also looking at using a submersible led light off ebay or buying one...

Im definately in no rush but i just want to see a cycle so i know im doing things right. Thanks Kabal, its in my bedroom and doesnt take up much room at all. I will make on of them point more up and thats a smart idea for the water level because im guessing my floor is unlevel because one side...

But in the meantime is it ok to leave the tank sitting there because Phyl said to put some fish food or a cocktail shrimp in there, which i read starts a cycle.

Heres some updated pictures from today.
