I had the exact same problem a few weeks ago, you can search for the thread "Stinky RO/DI water" post if you like. Our resin apparently was expired and we had to do a few changes in the connection and add more carbon - but that's because our town water is really really bad.

Dark, should I start turning the light on then?:dunno:

Alrighty, Ammonia still the same 0.25, nitrite 0.2 (down from 5), and nitrate is 20 (up from 10). So I guess is still cycling and just taking its own sweet long time :time: In a good way it's giving me time to pay-off everything I've spent on it before I add more.

I do have a filter sock in the sump, but I've forgotten I can use carbon for the water - thanks for reminding me!!:goofy:

:verymad: ok, my 75 gal has been cycling for the last 5 weeks. Well, the stinking ammonia has been steady at 0.25 for the last 3 weeks. I guess the live rock it's still doing it's thing... feels like it's been years! and yesterday my beloved seahorse for 2 years, passed away :cry1: :tears...

I would ship but our UPS store refuses to ship items with lights and lights themselves. I already tried this a few times. Regular mail makes us pack our own stuff (and I don't trust myself with this task). I'm sorry I just can't ship. :( Thanks for inquiring.

Hi, sorry I didn't answered sooner, I was busy with work. I'm selling the ballast with daylight and actinics lights and 4 moonlights. No MH. The ballasts have a total of 260watts. Please let me know if you're still interested. Thanks!

When I first started working with marine aquariums neither my husband or daugther were interested. As time went by I would call them everytime a new hitchiker surfaced and explained what it was. For example, one day we had this tiny (about the size of a dime) thingy crawling on the wall of the...

WOW! IT WORKED!!:whstlr:

Ok, let's see if I got this right, here come the pics of the setup.

Agh...now I need to resize! few more minutes:doh:
