Ok back to the sleuthing for the tank to try and figure this out. The rocks and sand: You said the tank crashed and you kept the rocks wet and circulated during this time. They could be leaching phosphates or nitrates from the crash if there was a cycle. Take some of the rock out and put it...

When you are looking at the photos in photobucket, click on the lowest tag (IMG code) and paste that here. Like so:

Moved this thread here so people could respond. Depending on where you are located, your local LFS is probably the best choice because you don't have to pay for shipping. Where are you located?

http://www.tbaquatics.com/swc-xtreme-120-cone-protein-skimmer-864.html Have this on my 45 cube and love it. If you are going with a heavier bioload you might want to go to the swc 160 but I think you would be fine with the 120.

I got mine at home depot or lowes, surprised they did not have it.

http://www.airwaterice.com/product/1MMDI/Mighty-Mite-50GPD-with-DI-Added.html This one is 50gpd, cheaper and is made for saltwater aquariums. I know a bunch of people have ordered them on here for nanos. Some people have had some issues with their resins going really fast but nothing an order...

As an ex rower here as well you could not pay me enough to put me back on one. However, they will put you in the best shape of your life. My personal trainer got his used, I can ask to see where he got one because he was asking my wife and I (she was also a rower) about some new equipment.

Absolutely, we have been doing it for years. Moonlights at first were just for the reefers benefit of checking out your tank at night. As time went on, people realized that with breeding fish that moonlights could be important in that aspect and that for some species of fish they are...

Take a look at solenoid valves which you can control and just running a lot of wire.

I remember people saying they could go like 6 months to a year with those, I never got that. We try and replace like every other month or so if we remember.

Glad to hear it is working for you. The first dose will kill all the adult red bugs which is why you do 2 more doses to kill the ones that have not hatched yet. Agreed, clown gobies can be a PIA.

+1 to the acan echinata. Give that coral plenty of room, they have very long very nasty tentacles that will kill corals around it.

Hannah has a super duper phosphate meter that does cost around $300 and then they came out with the pocket checkers not too long ago. The pocket checkers have become much more popular for obvious reasons.

What media were you using?

I would go with the 90g, they length and width are the same you just get four extra inches on top. This is good because you will be using most of the same equipment for both. As far as RR vs GH, I have both right now. My 57g rimless is RR and the overflow box is MASSIVE, takes up a lot of...

Don't sell, stick it out or as others have said just sell the livestock.

I would move an RODI unit to the top of your list. They are not that expensive and will save you tons of headaches. If you want that full reef tank with lots of corals, this is the most essential piece of equipment you can buy. Hannah hand helds: The phosphate and the alk are good, don't get...

How much live rock do you have and was it cycled when you added it to the tank?

Thank you for the offer mori, we just bought a 210g that will be here next month which will be our final upgrade (I swear to god).

Getting two heaters is nice because you have redundancy so if one goes you at least have the other one in there. As far as test kits go, I would be looking at salifert and elos, and if you can get them the hannah hand held checkers are really good too. Hypo is great for treating ich but as...
