That's why you rinse it in freshwater after each use...
You could just correct your SG then mark on your hydrometer with a permanent Sharpie where the true 1.025 is. :D
I think you may be getting a bad reading. Get another test kit or take a water sample to your LFS for testing. I'd be hard-pressed to believe your...
So sorry for your losses. You can certainly keep the sand and rocks- they will cycle again and be fine. You should change at least 50% of your...
Got some really good ones so far. Here's mine. :) [IMG]
The problem with GSP, Kenya Trees, Xenia, etc., is that if it does well in your tank, it will take over. If you want them, your best option is to...
Personally, I prefer to cycle everything together. Your bio-filter is more robust and stable that way. The only reason I would bother curing rock...

Yep. Non-dimmable LEDs will do it every time. However, I still contend that raising nutrient levels will also help. :)
True, all corals require some type of nutrition aside from light. Most softies rely on dissolved organics that they can absorb; OTOH, SPS and most...
Assuming you have sufficient lighting, yes. Actually, any type of organic matter will help. Unlike most SPS corals, softies absorb nutrients from the...
Congratulations on the new tank, OFK! Can't wait to see it stocked. ;) Your sand is fine. If you want to rinse it, use old tank water. That way it...
