Tank in serious trouble!!!

[hondadude2k5]

Why do I not ask Hector? I did. His answer to everything these days is water change

I haven't a clue!

Hondadude, you are so easy to mess with. You take things to heart so quickly. I too read all your post's about all the changes you do to your tank. You seem like a young buck in a hurry. Slow down give your tanks a rest and quit being so quick to think I am out to get your goat at every turn.

Wasn't it you who jumped onto everyone about doing your buddy dirty? But now you expect us all to be your buddy in times of trouble and give you advice when your buddy can't help. It's just a little two faced to me. But I believe you'll come around soon. I have faith in you.

SHEreefer,

I don't hold grudges. Something was a miss and we as a Tucson group had our yelling match and moved on.

I ask questions and someone either answers or not. Someone asks a question and I answer or not. it is called getting over the past.

 

[hondadude2k5]

Would anyone advise using a product called stability made be seachem? supposedly it brings your levels under control.

 

[SHEreefer]

No, it's called selective responding, but I get what you are trying to say.

 

[SHEreefer]

Hondadude, PM sent .

? question John? I am currently taking steps to treat this tank as if it was starting up for the first time. is that what you were wondering?

 

[owsi]

Where do you get your water?
RO? Do you mix? What brand? Did you test RO, Ready-Mix or after mixing?

 

[hondadude2k5]

If I am getting salt-water i get it from Hector. If I am just getting fresh then I get it from a place called The Water Store. They have a huge 12 step filter. RODI, UV Sterilizer, Ozone etc. etc.

Did you think to test the water before you used it?

honda dude, some could be our problem, really, most of tanks that have water parameters whacked is really our fault. thing that i consider that most could affect these water parameters are:
1. overfeeding, leaving detritus to settle down and not vacuum it at least once a week.
2. overcrowding of fish, creates lots of waste
3. do not change water often.

those are the main things that could affect your water.

 

[reg828]

also, cleaning your canister filter at least once a week.

[hondadude2k5]

I don't check Hectors water but i do check the water that comes from the water store.

 

[owsi]

NH4 and NO2 of the mix?

 

[owsi]

Check it please, NH4 and NO2 of the mix.

 

[owsi]

If they are 0, check Nitrates also.

 

[hondadude2k5]
