My firefish has been in the qt for a week now and the last few days I am having a devil of a time keeping the ammonia and nitrite levels at zero....
Well I went ahead and ordered a reactor, gfo, and hanna checker from BRS this morning. Should have it in a couple days. Their calculator says I need...
Thanks everyone. I will get one on order and get it setup. Do not want the algae to get out of hand. Should the phosphate level be controlled at zero?
I was wondering if it would be worth my money to add a gfo reactor to my system. My tank is only a month old, but I do have quite a bit of green hair...
Once your cycle is done do a 50% water change then add cuc.
Anyone else have thoughts on this?
Thanks for the tip. I got my fuge running last week, and it appears like the macro algae is doing great. Since I have a fish in my qt, I am doing...
I know where you are coming from. Fighting green hair algae now because of the phosphates leaching from my rocks. Just took a few out this morning to...
Would it be a good idea to use some paraguard in the qt as a disease preventative? I was thinking of using it for a week in my qt. Just wanted to get...
Thanks. Helps to get my mind at ease. Just have to wait it out another three weeks before I can add it to my DT.

First Scare! Was doing my water test tonight and about had a heart attack when I saw the results from my QT. The ammonia was at .5 and the nitrite...
As long as it is not live go ahead and wash it.
First fish is in the QT! Got a purple firefish. Initially matched the salinity to my lfs, now slowly raising it to match mine. Waited a couple hours...
My cuc arrived from reefcleaners today. Got to tell you John is a great guy! He sent WAY more than I ordered! The one thing that surprised me was how...
Well things are moving right along. Just finished part 1 of my first water change. Only have a 20 gal Brute so I am going to do two 15 gal changes....
I have a BRS 5-Stage plus unit. Great bang for your buck at $199. Comes with every type of fitting that you could imagine to hook it up to a water...
I am running a Eheim 1262 in my 75. I also have ball valves on both my supply and return lines to help balance the system. If I were to do it again...
Here is John's revised list for my cuc. I was going to add an urchin or two, but I think they are going to get too big for my tank. Some of them get...
Thanks for the tip. I sent him a message for a custom crew, so I will find out what he comes back with. I will post his recommendation tomorrow and...
