Nitrate Problems

You're probably right rsw. Next time I go to the LFS, I will buy a bit more sand and a few extra pounds of live rock. It's probably best I add to the sand bed because my dad said that we need more sand. I thought it was ok, but I guess it bit me in the butt a few months later.

Still doing the water changes though. That will help in the long run.

Would the red sea primz fit in the second chamber in the back of my biocube without any modification, or do i have to cut down a few walls and a hole in the canopy to put it in?

Also I had a breakout of Ich that killed all of my fish 2 weeks ago. So how long would it take for the ich to cycle and leave the tank at a temperature of 84 degrees and no host? (I'm just wondering as to when I can add fish again, because it seems like a waste to have guests over who look into an empty aquarium).
