YAY! the tank is finally clear, the haze and foogyness cleared up and ph is fine and i belive the cycle has started, do you think i should really start over, after all the effort? ARGH what to do? I think ill just leave it, in time everything will fall into place, im not that fussed with the...

hrmm good questions, i recently moved housed because my old place is getting demolished and wer gonna build a new house but since then we are staying at a new place till our other house gets built. To the point the house wer staying at now does not have a rain water tank, and usually id just use...

i re-added the carbon, and i took out about 1cm of the water and in the process as much of the dirty film as i could, seems like it hasnt done much, the haze keeps building up even if i disrupt the water just looks abit better from the top view, and yeh some more dead critters are showing up, my...

ok ill give it ago, should i add anything else e.g. phosgaurd or some zeolite? ill remove some of the water film now and aim my power head up. ill take photos tomorow, gosh who ever knew salt water nano's would be this difficult FW is just so easy and straight foward once u know the...

i started playing around abit with the filter media and i think one of the problems was the activated carbon was blocking some water flow, ive now removed it and it seems as if theres more ripples in the water, hence some more water flow, im thinking i should get a power head or just mod the...

At the moment you cant really see the cloudly haze, but i know itll get worst like before, day by day it just keeps building up and soon youll be able to see dark hazy swirls (that smells).. This is when i done a water change after the bad haze and smell, i cleaned the subtrate, scrubbed the...

OMG its doing it again, the ph is starting to drop and that stinky white cloud is happening all over again. ill do a 50% water change tomorow, do you guys know what the problem could be? would it just be the dying critters causing this ph drop and cloudy water?

hrm i guess, i think they just try take advantage of me due to my lack of knowledge towards the saltwater hobby, with the FW stuff they can never try anything, usually i always get the better half lol. Sigh i hope some things do live, just a shame alot of them died. there wer 3 crabs, and a...

wow that was scary, but im still hanging in there.. i done a huge water change and cleaned pretty much all the subtrate, AND live rock, seems like the rock wasnt cured after all GRR i hate my lfs sigh... well ive rearranged everything and just pre-mixed some salt water, and added it in, and took...

LOL oh gosh abit to late sigh, ok ill remove everything and just leave the filter floss GRR :anxious AND ill re-change the water and clean out the dam sand... sigh..

Ok so i went out and got some filter media, awsome stuff i bought some PhosGaurd which removes Phosphates and Silicates, and some ChemZee which is zeolite fairly expensive but very good products... I also finally bought some live rock which has been cycled and cured... however when i got home...

Hey as you know i recently bought a nano and ive just completed some modifications, i finally got a new ironcore ballast and upgraded it too a 36 which enables me to have 2x18w lamps (10k day/actinic) however i ran in too some problems, i wired everything up right and when i turned it on they...

its not worth it, well thats my opinion... e.g. a product i want is $4 then the shipping to aus is usually around $20 and thats not garunteed the item will come in good condition etc, i usually find something similar to what i want at the lfs for around the same total.

Sigh, thanks so much for that Jesse your really alot of help, to be honest im really stressing, and i dont know why, ok i think its time i start cycling, ill go buy some activated carbon tomorow, and hopefully i get all this light stuff done too. Thanks evryone who posted a reply, it was...

ok sounds good, so ill get one 10k and one that is blue or actinic, since im getting to different lamps im guessing i should run to differnt switches aswell right, to simulate dawn and dusk?

G'day there, i just bought a new tank and it has one pl-11w/8000k lamp. I decided to upgrade it so i can have coral, so i went out and bought a bigger ballast (EC 36/40) so i can can install 2x18w lamps, and yeh i noticed on the ballast it labbeled all the lamps i could use: 1x36/40w T 2x...

GRR i cant find any substitue for chemi pure, i just want everything to go smoothly, so basically im looking for somthing that removes phosphates and silicates? Also i dont think they sell any macro algae at the lfs, is it really critical to have it? sigh so far my filter just has normal...

ok so what should i replace the foam and ceramics with? they dont sell chemi pure at the lfs, and they dont have much other filter media, thats similar infact they dont have any, could i just use live rock instead? Also i went out and got the 36/40 ballast that should be able to hold 2x18W so...

Ok, so i went to get a refund... BUT he said he couldnt do cash, only a store credit, and i was like oh ok yeh ill do that, and he was "like why not have a look around maybe u can find something better and we can do an exchange, because then i wont have to write down all these details and stuff"...

LOL they wont mean much to you considering they only ship to aus mainly lol i saw a nice 12G nano but they dont ship to aus, and for a pretty decent price my 6 galllon i bought was 90AUS, heres the link for the aquapod. http://www.petsolutions.com/12-G-Nano-C ... 12032.aspx sigh i...
