Francine it works much better with the different air pump. Still not getting black yucky stuff out but then again my nitrates are low and everything else is testing well so maybe I don’t have a lot of waste in the tank! Thanks for the tip Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Francine, thanks I will definitely give it a try!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good news bad news scenario. Found a fish that I thought had died in the back area of my tank. That’s the good news. The bad news is this is the second time I’ve had a fish make it to the back part of my tank. I have a kid on it and I was wondering if anyone has any ideas how they are making...

Oh really good news we only lost one fish! When cleaning out my media chamber from nitrate rocks and changing my phosguard I found my Royal Gramma! It had been in the back part of my tank for about a month or so!!!! Can not believe it is still alive. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi Dave, explain the dry rock versus live rock? Why dry rock over live rock? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I also have a bio cube 32 and would recommend buying something a little bigger. You will be very limited to the fish you can purchase with a tank that’s not 55-75 gallons or at the 32 gallons. The tank itself is great and haven’t had any issues with it. It cycled quickly and I was starting...

When I had my algea problem I cut down my lights by about half. Try going to 4-5 hours for a few days and see what happens to the algea. You will need to also get a snail or a few of them to help eat the algea that’s currently in the tank. Good luck! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Anyway to keep some of my frags alive during the process of lowering the phosphates? I started carbon dosing, continuing phosguard, and did a 10gallon water change which I do weekly. How long will the rocks leach phosphates? Once the phosphates are out of the rock will this happen again or...

My LFS measured my water parameters. I measure and track nitrates, nitrites, ammonium, salinity, and of course water temp. 0 nitrite .04 nitrates had been running .1-.2 so cut feeding and now its handled. 0 ammonium 78.2 water temp Phosphates all of a sudden jumped up to .5 so got some...

Thanks for the advice. Busy time at work and been fighting a phosphate issue. Has to be leeching from the live rock is what my LFS is telling me. I’m currently dosing with phosguard but it’s not helping much. My phosphates are at 50-60 and I’m doing weekly water changes. Anyone have any...

Sorry been off. Closing out work year. Having some issues with tank. Both my wife and kid were feeding the fish causing high nitrates and have lost 2 fish now. Our royal gramma and our damsel. Clown and Bengai seem to be on. Starting to get water parameters back in order and lost my red...

Uncle how do you rinse your frozen shrimp to just get the shrimp. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks Dave...I was hoping to try and grow some macro Algae. Heard it was good for keeping nitrates down and that it was something I could also turn around and sell to my LFS. I’ll check into an algae scrubber but I don’t really have an algae issue. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Have a small Biocube 32g tank with an even smaller coralife Skimmer that fits in chamber 1 while allowing me to close my lid without having to modify anything. My skimmer doesn’t seem to be zeroing out my nitrates. That being said my skimmer doesn’t seem to pull much out either. I only need to...

I’ve always fought nitrates in my 32g BioCube. I would like to get maceoalgae going in my tank but not sure I have the room. In chamber 1 I have my protein skimmer Chamber 2 my stock media chamber- Top houses my horizontal heater & 2 pieces of black sponge, 2nd level has 2 pieces of green...

I was never lucky enough to get my anemone and clown to mate and then not knowing enough damaged its foot by trying to glue it down. It went and hid and died a few weeks later. Read up on anemones and chose not to get one for a while until I get everything off it’s frag plugs and where I want...

Would love to have a tank of the month! My kid is trying to talk mom into a bigger tank for Xmas this year. Her bday and Xmas is the same day and she’s even the trying is if you get me a bigger tank then that can be all of my gifts for both Xmas and bday. Gotta love her for trying. Had to...

Oh I didn’t see a mention of a heater for your tank. Spend the extra $$$ and get a titanium one. I got them to throw one in that was $15 when I purchased the tank but it didn’t make it a year and the titanium one I just purchased fits just fine and it was only $30 and it had a temp setting on it...

We waited until the tank cycled and had diatoms before putting anything other than live rock and sand in our tank. I think you should have much more live rock. I believe they say 1.5-2lbs of rock to 1 gallon of tank size. I started with 30lbs and added more after about 2 months and it really...
