I am showing signs of ammonia in the system .3 or .6, my test kit is a hagen kit for ammonia so I really cant tell between the two colors. I suspect a mini-cycle. Hopefully this is the reason why my corals are pissed off and not due to the silicone I used. Livestock as far as fish and shrimp are...

I think thats what I'll do tonight, i already have a bag of carbon in ther sump. going to run a second reactor with carbon.

hopefully, that isn't the case. its been over 24 hours and all livestock regarding fish and shrimp seem ok, no mysterious deaths or odd behavior. hopefully that is still the case when i get home tonight. i am hoping this is just a mini cycle and nothing else.

I am going to shoot myself in the foot if this was the case. I don't get it though, ive used the GE Silicone II before on the sump I used previously without ill effects. That was the reason why I went with II. I really hope it is just a mini cycle and not the silicone. I even let it cure for 2...

yeah i think so too, ill definitely check my ammonia levels when i get home from work. should i dose PRIME?

I also, put in a new cone skimmer, I also gave that a vinegar bath prior. Do you guys think I am going through a mini-cycle. I havent tested my ammonia levels, it didnt occur to me to check. I will check it when I get home from work. I will also buy a bottle of special blend to add some bacteria...

GE Silicone II Clear. It's the same one I have used before without any issues.

Well, I added 2 koralia, 1050 and a 750 for additional flow. I gave a vinegar bath to my durso drain, return line, return pump. I also created a manifold so I can just run all my reactors through my return pump. Maybe I am having the same issues? how long did it take for your tank to go back to...

this is freaking me out man, how long did it last till your tank went back to normal?

parameters were all the same except for my calc and alk, alk was at 9 and cal was 440. and yes, my old sump did have a fuge with a deep sandbed and live rock. My current one has one too, minus the deep sand bed. I went from a 30 gallon long to a 20 gallon long to save some space under the stand.

indeed thanks for the update! I cant wait to see the new store.

Hey guys, here is the story. I made the move to a new sump last night and everything went great. However, for some reason when I got home from work today, all my LPS and Softies looked pissed off. My torch and frog spawn looked weak, my trumpet look dried up, my devil's hand looked shriveled...

I'll be interested if for some reason Paul could not get it. I have a 90 Gallon with no other wrasse.

these are far more affordable and will let you keep anything under the sun in your nano. http://www.aquatraders.com/LED-Reef-Bright-Clamp-On-p/56206.htm

Any word on Feng?

i say one would be good for your tank and you can use the 750 to supplement it. The 3600 gph i currently have creates amazing flow. better then i expected.

They are doing great, thanks again!

Also, if you can't find the ones with the magnet mounts, try ebay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1300GPH-Wave-maker-pump-MAGNETIC-MOUNT-circulating-Aquarium-powerhead-JVP-102B-/130714875796?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1e6f36b794

I am currently running one in my 90 gallon tank, it's the model with two propellers. Moving around 3600 GPH. I had two Koralia's but one of the magnetic shafts for the Koralia's broke so I needed a cheap replacement quick. I highly suggest the ones with the magnetic mounts, I heard too many...
