Ok great. I will start to raise the S.G. I would like to thank everyone for their help. So thank You!!!

Well I just checked my ammonia alert against a bottle of ammonia and it did work so atleast I now know that it is working. I am going to take a sample of the water to a lfs. as far as the water parameters for right now: ph 8.2 Ammonia 0ppm Nitrite 0ppm Nitrate 10ppm S.G. 1.022 Temp 78

I am a little confused with my tank, I set up my 10g close to 2 months ago with 10lbs live sand, 12lbs live uncured rock, hob filter, skimmer, and powerhead. I began testing the water about a week into it. I have never had ammonia spike above .25, trites and trates are also very low the entire...

I had one in my 5g I had to clean it so often it was annoying. There were times when I was cleaning 4 or more times a day. But then again my clown fish loved to kick up the sand. The filter did finally cook itself one day when I was out for the whole day. But if there isnt going to be sand...

I just got the 11lb nano live rock from marinedepotlive.com I am very happy with the quality and price. The rock is uncured so you will have to cure it. I posted pics of the rock on the vendor feedback board if you want to take a look. It was $50 shipped.

Thanx, I will post updates as they come. I am taking my time. Learned a hard lesson with a 5g that a LFS sold me and then gave me bad info a year ago. I have researched it this time and am continuing to do research. I wish I had done that the first time damn. oh well live and learn.

Just started my 10g. So far I have done the following: 11lbs of Live rock 10lbs of live sand catilina(sp) ocean water marineland hob filter Ordered but have not recieved yet: maxi jet 600, and a skimmer. Arranged the rock this morning and I am sure I will play with it more. I am open to...
