It is two weeks that it says on the bottle. So I'm getting close to that. I didn't see where it says to turn the skimmer off (until now). However,...
As I suspected, I've added my CuC and the fish I mentioned earlier in this post. I just tested the water and i'm getting the following readings:...
Thanks for the insight! Very helpful! AZ has been a huge help so far in this process. I'm grateful for his knowledge and willingness to help a...
False alarm. The container I was putting the water in was contaminated. Filled up a cup and it tested out at zero. I was going to be ticked off if...
So I got a RO/DI about two months ago. It's a 90 gallon spectra pure. If I had to guess how much water I've made I would say about 200-250 gallons....
I ordered a CUC yesterday. Should get it tomorrow. Ordered the one that was recommended for my tank size. I have some diatom on the rock and sand as...
So is my cycle over or for some reason has it just not started? Would i be safe to put a clean up crew in?

Picked up a nice piece of LR from my LFS to start seeding my tank. This thing is caked with purple and red coralline algae. Can't wait for the rest...

My tank has been up and running for 3weeks now. I have 100 lbs of live sand. The first week I didn't have the water running so no heat on the sand....
I'm right there with you. I'm having troubles sizing mine as well...
I will try this out and see what happens. I've also thought if I lowered the pipe where the water is coming into the sump to the water level maybe...
Do I need to add another baffle to the left of the two that I already have? I shined a light in the return compartment and I see very few bubbles so...
Tank is finally up and running! Just have to solve my micro bubble issue now :confused:
I've had my tank set up and fully running for 3 days now. I am getting very tiny micro bubbles in the DT. I'm not really sure where they are coming...
I have reef breeders and love them so far. Great priced units!
Got it! All I did was loosen it up and push up and down letting the water drain down. Maybe there was some debris not allowing it to seal properly....
