    Substrate replacement. Old Tank Syndrome

    Well the substrate in this tank has been around since 1998. This is the last thing in a quest to find my nitrate/phosphate factory. Now what my plan was to do is to remove all but maybe a 1/4 inch of its current substrate then add a inch over that. Reasoning is that the old will seed the new...

    Old Live Rock

    So about a month or so ago i got my 90 gallon tank 110ish volume with sump. I am the 3rd owner of this tank. It was originally setup in the 90s and has had the same sand bed and live rock since then. Now the Goby i have has moved like 80% of the sand not sure if that matters or not. But my...

    Sump/filter sock question.

    So on the sump I have for my 90 display it has a holder for 2 filter socks. Now the sump is a trigger system 36 ruby. It also has a input for the fuge but does not have a filter sock holder. Now my over flow has 2 outputs but I have one off. I would like to have it plugged into my fuge so I can...

    New 90 gallon I got from a friend. Apparently this tank has been running since the late 90s. Had no idea until today. I am the 3rd owner. Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk

    It's good bye old RSM 130. =(

    Sounds good. The substrate is pretty clean looking with the huge goby that has been living in the tank. The move has already started. I just move 70 pounds of LR to my house. The rest will be moved tomorrow. Going to be a long day...

    It's good bye old RSM 130. =(

    I am going to have to keep the substrate for now since i cannot afford to replace that much at the moment. What did you rinse your sand with?

    It's good bye old RSM 130. =(

    Well the time has come for my RSM 130 to leave me. A buddy of mine is leaving the hobby and passing me down his 90 Gallon reef. I do not have room for both tanks nor afford both of them. I was looking for advice for the move. I will be moving it from about a hour away. It was a bad timing...

    Thanks guy. I have almost no algae at all. My rock that started dead is now picking up some color which is nice. I am going to pick up a farret water bottle today to see about making a gravity OTA to keep the Salinity stable. Wish my main tank was as clean looking as this one. I think going...

    Update. I know it has been awhile. I have been super busy with a job promotion and haven't had much spare time. Since I am also a bit tight on money I am using coral from my main track as well. I have been battling with salinity swings. I don't have an ATO so I keep a gallon of water near and...

    Update (5/1/14): Decided to wait to do a WC to see how it tests the next day. I also added filter floss and carbon to the AC50. I tested this morning and Ammonia has dropped. It isn't 0 but lower than yesterday. Hard to tell with the API kits. Nitrates are close to 0 as well. I am...

    After some research the best course of action to reduce my Ammonia is going to be frequent water changes for the next few days.
