Hello my name is Cassy I'm new to the site and to the hobby. I have a 65 gallon reef tank with a 10 gallon sump, progressive lighting (6 t8 bulbs 3 sun, 3 moon) skimmer, sock filter, Fluval canister, UV sterilizer. So far I have a saddleback clown fish, a diamond goby, 2 sea stars, a tube fan, 5 types of mushroom corals, one type of zoo coral, roughly 100 lbs of live rock. My brother was the one that inspired me to get a saltwater set up he has a 150 gallon fish only tank. So i'm just trying to learn about everything and get as much information as I can

Re: new Hello Cassy and welcome to RS __________________ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~ *Live Rock Rubble will do the SAME thing as Bio-Balls and is NOT a suitable replacement for BIO-BALLS in a Reef System! It's ALL gotta go!!* Nitrate (NO3) reduction is directly proportional to percentage of Water Change. Allen's home-made formula...currentNO3-((%WC.01)currentNO3)=finalNO3 (thanks Luukosian) This means if you change 50% of your total water volume (That's EVERYTHING) you'll get a net reduction of (NO3) somewhere around 50%. Ask me about how to increase your REEF budget without going without FOOD!!* Big Al's 10g Julie's (BigAl's Gal) 6g NanoCube Gone but not forgotten BigAl's Slow 90g Tank Chronicle Allens OFFICE 12g Nano-Reef
