I don't know if you got what you wanted but I'm tearing my tank down this weekend and will have tons of live rock and sand.

I have a 150 gallon tall (48' x 24'" x 30") been running for about 8 months. It's a mixed reef tank, with mostly lps and softies with a few sps varieties, monti caps, birdsnest / stylophora. I have a 40 gallon sump and run carbon and biopellets. current stock List: 1 ocellaris Clown 3 lyretail...

Worm ID Worm ID thanks in advance

Ok, so i'm doing the fallow display currently, and have a new tank set up to quarantining all new corals. Now, my concern for new corals would be the cysts that form on the substrates, which a 6 week quarantine should eliminate. If i place corals in my QT at different times am i ok to pull the...

Stirring up the sand bed probably caused a mini cycle to happen. check your parameters often, water change as needed, wait it out.

it's for a quarantine tank, if you read the entire entry you would see, it's temporary.

would http://www.amazon.com/JBJ-Gallon-Aquarium-Nite-Vu-Moonlights/dp/B001EUG8II set up work for a quarantine tank for new incoming frags? Want to be able to house sps for a max of 6 to 8 weeks. Also, will take other options into consideration but looking for an all inclusive set up.

The bio pellet reactor was new and added in at the end of the cycle. the Phosban reactor was added in right before the problems happened and was from an established tank. Thanks for the info i'll go do some more research.

80 pounds were cured dead rock, and the system went from 60 to 150 gallons. I believed it was necessary. I don't really see how this is relevant to the problem at hand. If it is, please explain what steps could be used to help fix it.

The Reactor has a dedicated mag drive 2 that goes directly into the protein skimmer. not sure if that is what you mean by recirculating.

I recently upgraded to a 150g system from a 60 gallon. Due to vacation coming up, and not being able to have 2 systems running, i cycled for 2 weeks using Dr. Tim's One and Only. I have a little over 150 pounds of live rock in the display and sump and after Ammonia a Nitrite hit 0 i started...

I have a reef keeper lite plus but i want to incorporate a Uninterrupted Power Supply into the set up to help with power surges and provide battery back up. Anyone plug the PC4 or other controller splitters into the UPS directly? What UPS are you using? I'll have a Octopus diablo xs160...

Do you mean rock that has ever had bubble algae on it or just rock that has visible algae on it?
