HELP URGENT --- NOOB Killing Corels

We use those at the store too! lol that's hilarious.

Should be just fine. I definitely recommend that reefkeeper lite though if you're really concerned about keeping temperature constant.

 

[Reefsleeper]

No that concerned just read on one of the forums the you should keep your temp as constant as possible but is 2-3 f drop is ok then it's fine by me. ........ Thanks again ..... Last question I keep me refurgium lite on 24/7 is this the best option... Or should I alternate as some suggest...

 

[Reefsleeper]

Also just noticed the water getting cloudy, perhaps the amqual did not work because there was no light? Is that even possible?

 

[Reefsleeper]

Here is a photo of the tank....

A pretty good size water change wouldn't hurt things.


BTW what do you have for a clean up crew?

I use to race off road 1/8 scales. My wife would shoot me if I ever got back into it lol I think I still have an HPI RS4 and a Losi XXT out in the garage somewhere.

 

[Reefsleeper]

Lol ditto ...... Same issue time to give it up

 

[Reefsleeper]

Admittedly racing was allot easier than reef keeping !

 

[AirportFF]

I'd start with a decent water change with some distilled water. Pre mix the salt and water in a rubbermaid brute container.

 

[Reefsleeper]

Ok thank going to the 24 hour Walmart now to get ???? 20-30 gallons? How much should I change tonight?

 

[Reefsleeper]

Also should I leave me lights on overnight and tomorrow during the day?

 

[AirportFF]

I'd do 20 and have 10 in reserve for right now. Just make sure that the temp and Ph matches. Check your salinity before you do it, just to make sure that you don't need a topoff to make up for evaporation. That'll screw you salinity up if you don't.

 

[AirportFF]

I don't see a problem with the lights being on. There's no reason to have them on at night though.

 

[Reefsleeper]

Thank you ......

AWW! I have a bulldog too! Her name is Lola, but I can't find pictures of her anywhere for some reason... Same colors, but a little less wrinkly in the face.

Some people run their fuge lights opposite of their reef to help keep PH stable, but I think its like an OCD thing. I don't have a fuge, therefor can't run a light opposite of my main tank, and my PH swings are really no big deal from day to night.

If you're doubting if the amquel worked, test your ammonia again. I'm a little confused though, did your LFS tell you to put amquel in for nitrates?

And I really think the toadstool is fine even though there isn't any polyp extension at the moment. Just give it time.
