also....the lights are about 5 inches off the water. After looking around...alot of people run them with the legs they came with. Im going to try that first. Not now obviously bc i dont want algae problems. Im going to see what happens and take it from there. I did look at a few diy projects and...

thanks guys. i think id like to try and go the diy route on this one.

So I've been looking briefly online and I've seen different kinds of hanging kits. Theres one from marine depot that looks decent...still deciding. wanted to see what others suggested and also how high the lights should be from the tank

Okay yea I never thought of that...Ill def look into it..Considering I never even thought about doing it...it will def be a project

Hmmm. Thanks for that Empire. I really appreciate you reading everything and giving the feedback you did. I never thought about the heat issue. I guess I cpuld build a small canopy...as I'm guessing they don't make any for a tank as small as fine. I'm curious now to research what I can do about...

Its live and pretty much cured...I got it from trop. fiji branch rock. I added another 4lb piece. I posted a new pic on the page before this if you're interested to check it out. Thanks for the encouragement...noted and appreciated!

Wait a minute. Was it not the other night that I was called out for talking down to people? How is what you just said considered fair? Did I not say AGAIN how much I appreciate all the help and how I take it all into my final decision. I didn't say that I was going to add livestock tomorow. I...

Thank Jose. Yea IMO I couldn't have bettee size rock in there. The second piece that I added (right side) looked like it had some different things on it so I'm excited about that. Also seeing the ammonia drop got me thinking that in another 10 days or so I could see things.go in a very positive...

tank with new rock. ammonia is going down!

Been browsing the fish on liveaquaria...I def want a clown fish...prob the percula. One of my favs also.is a midas blenny. Again I'm in the beginning stages of looking and I know right now I can't fit much. Any suggestions?

Cool great...makes sense. Another cool note...I moved the powerhead a little further down in the tank and when I came home the sand was moved...I'm going to the rock.and test tomorrow night.

Who's talking down to people? I judged my response off of nikkis response. Before I posted that Jose was my main contributor and he's been a fantastic help....as everyone has. Again, my point is that all of a sudden I made a decision and I received criticism for it. I'd like to move past this. I...

Headed to trop tomorrow for another small piece of branch rock. That should cover me on live rock.My only issue is if adding more rock would interrupt the cycle?

My point is that it would have been nice to know that the shrimp wasn't the best option. I tested ammonia again last night...still very high. Again I'm just in the waiting process...of course it takes time.The tank is what it is at this point and ill just see how long the cycling takes. Let me...

Nothing for nothing...but seeing that I shouldn't habe done the shrimp and the dr. tims at the same time is like a slapnin the face. How many views did this topic get and no one cared to reach out to someone who is just getting back into the hobby. I understand I habe to make my own...

Waiting waiting waiting. Been doing some reading online. Some have had great results with dr. tims...others not so much. Just wanted to ask if anyone has had any experience using this stuff. Gave the heater a boost to about 86 tonight. Not running the lights. Filter still running with sponge and...

Plan on going to trop to add another piece of live rock. I'm not going to go crazy testing everyday. I'd say maybe twice a week. Hoping to see the levels go down these next few weeks

Thanks!!! Im doing my best to be patient

Is there anything I can do now? Keep testing I guess?

HAPPY FOOTBALL SUNDAY EVERYONE! Ijust wanted to post my test results and see what the reaction is. SG- 1.021. pH-8.0 Ammonia- 8.0 Rites- 2.0 Rates- 5.0. Thoughts? Seeing the ammonia that high was kinda scary.
