Keep track of all your livestock--I don't know what you have, but as long as you know nothing's died, let your tank cycle and don't change your water...
I don't think there is such as thing as too much live rock. LR provides the biological filtration for your tank. The only way you could have too...
Looks super! I hope it works out for you. :)
[IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] Here's the velvety exterior of the rocks. Could I possibly go the route I discussed above, and slowly re-cure...
It's green. It's algae, but I can't identify it.
Thanks for the input, Geek. To your knowledge, what's the best way to rid LR of a nasty velvety exterior without killing the beneficial bacteria...
Looks good so far, Ryan! I love a DIY project. Keep up updated with pics. So the spray bar is the influent, and is in the same chamber as the...

Looking good! :) You might consider mounting that power pad on the wall, or at the very least get it off the lid of that sump. Salt creep loves...
This isn't a seizure. Clownfish do this, and so do certain other fish. As for why, I don't know, but I suspect it's renovation. Sometimes it's...
I don't think so. As long as it's in more than 3/4 of the way you should be fine.
Sure! :)
I never owned a FW setup either. My first tank was in the early 80s, and I got into it mostly for the fish. I had groupers, triggers, eels. I...
You have a short somewhere else in the house. The source could be anything. An electrician could probably find it for you.
If you unplug everything; leave the grounding probe plugged in, and feel the sensation of a shock in the sump, then something else in the house has a...
