Why would ceramic make your water cloudy? Sent from my DROID3 using Tapatalk
I had no idea what a diatom filter was. After looking up the vortex diatom filters, it sounds exactly like what I need to try. Do you have a link to...
Just an update, the bloom is still there. Now I also have cyno all over my sand. I'm gettin super frustrated. The fish and corals are doing fine, but...
Yeah I love flames. They add a lot of color and are pretty easy to keep. Can't go wrong there. They can nip at certain corals though, I believe...
I don't recommend any butterflies. They are hard to get eating, stress easily during shipping, and get ich easy. Gorgeous fish but not exactly...
Yeah but I ended up doing some big water changes to try and get rid of the cloudiness and in 30 min its right back to how it was. A huge water change...
My ph is at 8.2 everyday with the lights on. A co2 issue? What caused that? Sent from my DROID3 using Tapatalk
I recommend boostLED par30s if you go that route. The ai nano is also a good unit, can't go wrong with either one. Sent from my DROID3 using Tapatalk
One word = NO. Please do a search and you will find all the information you need on these lights. I recommend a couple PAR 30 bulbs for that tank.
Oh yeah, the few corals I have are thriving and growing, fish are eating like pigs and swimming around. But it isn't exactly cool to watch through...
I'm loving the light, but I havent been able to really enjoy it due to a bacteria bloom that will not go away. My water is so cloudy that I can't...
It says you can get 40, 60, or 80 degree optics. You most definitely will need at least 60 degree optics for a 30 inch tall tank if you want to grow...
What diodes does it use? And judging by the layout of them, by the time you add optics it will have somewhat of a narrow spread I would imagine....
You need to check your attitude at the door. This forum isn't here to make you feel like a bigshot, and you are only losing respect from everyone...
Awesome 10 gal holly! I've got 2 ten gallon tanks laying around, one is brand new and the other is barely used, and I've been thinking about doing a...
I thought the bacteria fed off of dissolved organics in the water column? So you are saying that the bacteria directly consumes nitrates? I wonder...
I almost didn't want to post that, because it seems like anytime someone has a problem and they admit to using tap water, everyone automatically...
The cloudy water was there weeks before I added the ats. I do not believe it has anything to do with the ats at all. Sent from my DROID3 using...
This isn't a phosphate issue. This is a bacteria bloom causing my water to be cloudy. I'm trying to figure out why it happened, and phosphates are...
Well here goes: 1 - I had a lot of algae film on the glass that I was cleaning daily 2 - I have only used conditioned tap water 3 - I feed mysis...
