Good move! Let the tank finish its cycle and when all your parameters are stable, buy a piece of the purple rock. U don't need a lot, even a 1 pound...
The red showed up first and the spot got bigger over time. I started noticing a small "bump" about 1.5 months ago and it has gotten bigger now to the...
This thing has gotten bigger and it is quite protuberant.... makes me think of a tumor or something similar. This "bump" he has got in his mouth is...
You are correct that the bacteria populates the rock and to be honest... any and all other surfaces in the tank, including sand, glass, overflow...
Do it old school for now and plug the heater to the wall with the temp set wherever u like it. Temps in the 60's is something I would b worried...
You can do a big water change and buy 3 bottles of bacteria to add to the new water to compensate for the dead bacteria that right now is not...
On second thought... 100% water change would mess up your bacteria population. I'll see what other people have done in this case.
I really have no experience with the use of Ozone, but repeated BIG water changes would be the first thing to do with ammonia and nitrates being so...

If I was in your place, bud, I would also crank the temp for tonight, and in the morning, leave money on the table with a note to a family member...
Also, since its a reef ready aquarium, look into the herbie, or even better the BeanAnimal overflow system. I have an overflow box and sump setup and...
I had mine for about a year and cleaned it twice or 3 times at the most.... not gonna do it again since I don't see any difference other than the...
AZdesertrat should pop up any minute now. I can't talk about Smart Reef since I do not own one, but check out spectrapure... I didn't buy my system...
Welcome to 3reef, peeps! Now post some pics!
I've used the GE1 silicone for my sump and I'm very happy with the results. I think you should have no problems applying it on PVC/Glass Make sure...
And I'm not promoting eshopps either, btw. That just happens to be the brand I found cheaper at that time, but like I said, The design is very simple...
Everything seems to be in check... nitrates are a bit higher than normal at 0.5 since I've been overfeeding a bit. Can nitrates cause this type of...
The price on the pump is great, but being an owner of a WEIR style overflow, I must say I would ALWAYS go with a U-tube overflow rather than the...
Shameless bump! Sent from my phone using my two opposable digits
It's an oblique lined goby, tiny fella. The spot goes from his lip and along the jaw and it is a purple color. I think I can notice a tiny bit of...
