It is not to much if you need to do it but as Ken asked you need to determine why your nitrates are so high. Other questions would be are you using a canister filter? How old is the tank(if it is new and the right bacteria has not been established yet patience might be the key). How much LR...

I like AO and the two you mentioned. I think their personalized service and their commitment to try to do the right thing makes them a better choice then the larger LFS on 35.

Re: AGA 120 (very few pictures and lots of dull writing) I had two sumps that were basically kicked in. The second one was on a corner so was able to get a fix for it. Like Brian said we were all there.

I love mine it may not be a display like reeferwanabe but I have effectively starved all bad algae out of my display along with providing a good pod breeding ground(with some help from Mike)

Did you buy the fish from Trop?

Re: AGA 120 (very few pictures and lots of dull writing) Ahh man sorry to hear it. :(

Well two things. In this economy nobody is turning down any work. Second he is a great person who will do his best to help out a friend. I can tell you that I am 100% sure he will not rip you off. So keep it in mind in any case if you cannot find a trustworthy person.

Hey Phil. If you cannot find an individual here is a friend of mine that I have used several time. From emergency to normal jobs he can definately be trusted. Owners name is Mal Braich. http://www.amalficonstruction.com/html/residential.html Bottom left kitchen was mine. Hope it helps. James

I have a pygmy angel that I think is pretty cool fish active and whatnot, or a less reefsafe angel even. He stands up to my bi-color too. Maybe some cardinals?

This is a great question...I had a jumper last week guess you just never know though with any fish.

I think that it is a pretty good skimmer for the price yes. I have never had one but I have never heard bad things about it. (Which you usually do with less expensive skimmers) I would say the rule of thumb with skimmers is the less expensive they are the more negative things you hear about...

OK well I am only trying to help. I think the skimmer is a good one. I am trying to help as I am concerned with the well being of your livestock too. Pics would be great. ;)

Ryan just want to point out that the total number of fish in a SW tank is not the equivalent of in a fresh. What 6 fish do you have? For comparison I have 6 fish in what is probably 140 gallons of total water with a good skimmer, full fuge, 190lb of live rock, and 160 lbs of live sand. I have...

Welcome to NJRC. Would suggest becoming a member if it suits you we do a lot of great things, as a member you can participate in group buys for instance. James

Peppermint shrimp will get rid of the aiptasia if you want a natural way. The bryopsis....listen to Candi it is a pain in the butt. Find a way to get rid of it. If you scrape it off it will float around and re-attatch so be careful.

Not fair :P

Reading about fish is half the fun of the tank. First in the fish forum there is a list of bad fish. Second you cannot have really big fish so that scratches some. Third try to decide if you are having corals or not. If yes then you will eliminate non reef safe fish. Fourth decide if you want...

I can get you some if you need it.

Re: AGA 120 (very few pictures and lots of dull writing) Good thing you have the Solaris. I have 2 x 250 W heaters, you don't get the added bonus of in sump return pump for heat. I think you have a more open system so I would guess you will need to add another heater somewhere. I am sure...

Well first you have to be a member then you can participate in our group buy this month....convenient no?
