Ike Lenny, I am not sure what you mean by CO3 levels unless you are talking about CaCO3, calcium carbonate, in which case your readings are not a problem.
Your dwarf water lily is a dwarf. If you had a “normal” sized water lily, your 20 gallon tank would not be large enough for one leaf, […]
Thanks for posting the message Aaron. To answer your questions:
Yes I slowly add fish over time, due to the nitrogen cycle; as you and others know, once a tank is “cycled” it has sufficient bacteria (nitrosomonas and nitrospira) for the amount of ammonia/nitrite available to them as food. Adding fish increases the ammonia […]
Would thin cotton socks work to put the crushed coral in? They are brand new just pulled out of the bag… I didn’t like the style and never wore them. I can use a zip tie to tie them shut.

Okay I will put some in one of the giant filter bags and maybe fold it over or something for something to use for now, it’s time for a filter cleaning anyways, might as well add it while I’m in there LOL. How much more should I add since I put […]
Hi Jo and Welcome!
Yes, there is a lot of controversy with their use. First lets consider it in a different way and not say “Filter” at all. Lets say under-gravel water movers because that’s what they are and their real true purpose. They turn the entire bottom of your tank into a giant […]
nitrite is at 0.0…im sorry. So because Ray says its a virus that killed all but 2 angels, how long should i wait before trying to add more from a different source of course….Jo
It would be nice if it turned out that the Virus was not at fault, and I do wish that’s the case, even though I still feel that this is the problem. IF you were to add Angels from a different source . . . and IF your two Angels do have the Virus, […]
I want to get my pH where it is closer to my tapwater baseline so I won’t stress out the fish too much doing PWC’s. So to do that I’m going to have to maintain a higher KH and GH correct?

Up for sale is a complete 55 gallon Reef tank system. Including all the lighting, filters and other components you may need. I recently dismantled this system because I was moving and needed to downsize tanks. All components are working and in good condition. No livestock included. […]
I just did my baseline tests, initial tests had my pH at 6.5-6.6 and GH was approx 100ppm , and KH was 18ppm or less (1 drop). pH rose to 6.8 after 24 and 48 hours, GH lowered to 38ppm after 48 hours and KH remained the same the whole time. As you […]
