It's day 14 and I'm encountering some new issues and have additional questions. On Wednesday 6/15 I added my cleanup crew (6 Margarita snails, 6 Red Leg Hermit crabs, 1 Sally Light Foot) and they immediately cleaned up. In two days they literally did a Mr. Clean on my tank. However since...

Pardon my ignorance - what are sinking pellets. So I guess the SL would also be a problem for fire shrimp? :shock:

:strip First let me thank everyone who contributed their advice - It really made all the difference. Day 11 - Yesterday's water test results gave me the go-ahead to add the cleanup crew. I wasn't able to get everything I wanted but I did get: 6 Margarita snails, 6 Red Leg Hermit crabs, 1...

Well - some of the algae did die off today. I did some testing before a 2 Gallon water change tonight. PH: 7.7 (a little low?) Ammonia (NH3): 0 :D Nitirite (N02): 0.9 :D :D Looks like I'm ready for the cleanup crew??? I'll take some pictures tomorrow and post them.

Using the std pump that came with the tank (290GPH) doesn't appear to be clogged.

That's how I did it originally but there was no separation between water flow within the second and third chambers. Isn't the water suppose to flow into the first chamber down through the sponge and into the second chamber from below and up through the second chamber into the third? So what...

Well it appears that I probably put too much water in my tank the first time out. But the great one page users guide does not provide any information regarding the proper water level. Being the novice that I am I assumed the water should be to the bottom of the glass to bezel connection. I...

Kris - Thanks for the info.

Kris - So how do we get from the BAD algae like the brownish green to the good macro algae like corraline? Is there a metamorphasis of one to the other? Also my son told me that he had seen a product in a LFS near him which advertises the production of different colors of macro algae. Ever...

Okay - I'm in no hurry with this tank and the amount of algae on the rocks and sand by the time I got home tonight was twice what it was yesterday. I have no creatures growing from the rocks and very little coraline to worry about. So it's lights out for now - except a couple of hours in the...

Okay - we have opposing views on the lights. But I have at the end of today 9 days into my tank with the lights on 12hrs a day. Should I go totally dark? Should I reduce the lighting time to X hours a day? Should I continue? I'm putty in your hands - which should I do? I'll be happy to be...

Thanks Kris - I'm trying to set up a personal web space with my ISP so I can upload pics there for links.

Well my tank has been up a week and a day now. Water temp has stabilized at 78 overnight to 82 at the end of 12hr light shift. Noticed several patches of coralline algae three days ago. They don't appear to have enlarged, but they haven't died off either. Some of the rock is turning...

Okay - 10% per week it is. Thanks :-)

Glad to hear that. Thanks!! :D

I added my thermometer and heater today and noticed that the additional activity in the water caused it to become very cloudy very quickly. Just like it was when I set it up three days ago. I also noticed a thin dust like coating on the live rock. It appears to be a very fine residue from...

Thanks to everyone for the suggestions. You saved me a lot of grief and probably the lives of a fish or two. A follow on question regarding the water changes. If I do 10% weekly that puts the total at 43% a month. That sounds high. Are we sure about the 10% weekly? :roll:

I would like to to this right, but finding it difficult to find the information I need. Hope someone can take the time to answer my questions :maitre I just put up a Nano-Cube 24 (glass) with 20 lbs live rock (cured) and 12 lbs of live sand. I removed the Bio-Balls and Ceramic Rings so...
