    Mushrooms out nitrates in

    Yes I checked it the night before it was 8.3. I mixed a new batch and the ph is only about 8? I checked with the LFS yesterday they said if I bring in the rock with the mushrooms he will give me a new rock.

    Mushrooms out nitrates in

    I've been overrun with mushrooms. I started cutting them off the rocks and scraping any flesh left behind. Now I'm getting nitrates. I have never had a nitrate reading since I first cycled the tank. I still have more shrooms to get rid of. I did a 30% WC right after putting the rocks back in the...

    Looking for ATO for 130D

    I got it! I can hook up an ATO to my RO unit ans just plug in into a timer to run 15 min per day. I did the math and if it was to fail I would only dump 1.2 gal into the tank per day. if i used the pump in a bucket I could dump 5gal in one shot that would be more likely to wipe out my tank. I...

    Looking for ATO for 130D

    Thanks I was looking at the pros and cons of doing it both ways. I would try to rig up some kind of fail safe if I run direct. I would like to hear what other people are using.

    Looking for ATO for 130D

    Hi, I am looking for an ATO that I can buy or build for around $100. Does anybody have any suggestions? I saw the Tunze Osmolator Nano 3152 Auto Top Off. I would rather hook up something that runs strait off my RO unit and eliminate the pump if possible. Running off a pump my be a little safer...

    Accent lighting to my 130D

    I am not proud of my tank right now everything is over grown. I am looking for a local reefer to take some of the stuff the watermelon mushrooms and Kenya tree have taken over. I lost several corals in the past two months aswell.

    How do I get a dotty back out of a tank?

    Thank for the link. It is amazing the tank has a totally different attitude since he is out and it's only been a little over an hour. My clown that huddles in the top corner by the return is swimming all over the place and my diamond goby who I never ever see is sifting sand all over the tank...

    How do I get a dotty back out of a tank?

    The last time I did it I used a Gatorade bottle with fishing line attached to the top. the only problem is you have to watch and pull the bottle out as soon as he goes in or he can swim back out. This will be my weekend project.
