Sean's 8.5G Rimless Reef - 3/07/2013

Ammonia reading of somewhere between 0.25-0.5? What's the problem? Tank has already cycled. I haven't done anything to it accept kill those aiptasia.

The tank is cloudy today, I think because I stirred the sand last night. Sister says I have a bacterial bloom. Opinions?

 

I would wait it out and maybe do a water change.

 

OK, I will do one today. Luckily there are not coral/fish in the tank just yet.

 

ok, was just gonna say they only cost like a dollar to make, but thats prob worth the extra dollar

 

prob stirred something loose when ya messed with the sandbed, old piece of food, or maybe the dying aiptasia

 

Doing a 30% water change now...here's what the tank looked like after 24 hours.

 

did the water change help? figure out what went wrong by any chance?

 

Ok, it's been 48 hours so far and I finished my 30% water change this morning...a little better, but still cloudy.

 

The tank's still cloudy; I will be doing a 25% water change today. I'm going back home to my Dad's in about a week and I will do a 50% water change again then. By that time I will have completely new water (theoretically) and should be good again. I will use 5g of water from my 29g when I get home and put it in this tank. If my levels are in line in about 2 weeks, I will move everything over and later dismantle the 29.

 

tic toc tic toc tic toc... : )
