Thank you for everyone who has helped me on here. Here are some photos of our first few additions IMG]http://i786.photobucket.com/albums/yy143/simmo888/Fish%20tank/bluegreenchromis.jpg[/IMG]

Thankyou, i have woken up this morning and it still looked a little dark, since the lights have come on though it is back to normal, they are both making a start on the 100's of pods of the glass whih is good! will post some pictures soon

they are, we checked and so did the lfs, also we brought a coral which is looking great. Thanks though

thanks for the advice, the lights for the aquarium are off but the lights in the room are on, will this causes a problem?

We've just added our first two fish both blue-green chromis' and a piece of coral. one of the fish is absolutley fine. The other is tilted to one side and displaying very different behaviour to the other. it appears stressed and has changed colour to a dark grey black colour. We have only had...

Thanks for the reply, i meant 1.023 sorry. i iwll get hold of those test asap. do i need to go down the raw shrimp route or will the cycle begin on its own? i have noticed some small dead 'animals' from the live rock? Thanks again Rob

Hi i have recently brought a RSM 130 from a friend. I have set up with RO salt water from the local shop and have added live sand and some live rock. I have been monitoring the tank: temp 25-26 salinity 0.0123-5 pH 8.2 Nitrate 0 (need to buy an amonia and calcium test kit) However the...
