Well, I didn’t start out to go bare bottom but now my bottom is bare. I had a high Nitrate problem and since the tank was almost 3 years old, I thought I’d move the rock around to get a different look and while I had the rock out I would clean the sub straight! I have one word Yuck!!!! I...

Is it best to buy "live sand" for the base of my refugium and then put some LR in there too? If so how much rock? 2 to 3" of Sand? or???? Once I add the sand do I have to let it cycle or can I let it flow into the main tank? This is a 15g sump/fuge for a 55g tank that I plan to have...

I found the posting Nikki started last month (Great Thread) about when and what everyone tested for but what results are best. A couple people mentioned what they want for results but I would think others have a different opinion. Maybe I wrong but it seems everyone has just a little...

First of all I live in N. Idaho and there isn’t a good local store to go to for supplies and advise. Right now I’ve been relying on advice from friends and reading a lot. But the tanks I’ve seen are not even close to the tanks a lot of you have. I really want to succeed with my tank and know...

Was on ebay the other day and saw a dosing pump. After looking at it and so on it's a medical pump used for IV's. Will this work for a Kalkwasser dosing pump? Any thoughts or suggestions?? Never dosed anything before so need some Ideas! :)
