    Well i thought that i should register and join this site.I come here daily and read the new posts,for about a year now.My son started with a 10 gallon reef a few years ago.which became a 20,then a 70 and so on :) He got me hooked,and now it's like a drug I LUV it,anything and everything.Can't stop...must buy more corals and fish.What a great hobby..more like an addiction.And have met some of the most freindly and helpful people online and in person.

    Nitrate Level High

    Hello All!

    I've had my 30 gallon hex tank going about 3 weeks or so now. I've got about 20lbs of branchy live rock in there with 2 clown fish. I've got a 50 gallon hanging filter and a 100 gallon protien skimmer and 1 power head. All my levels are good, ammonia 0, nitrite 0, ph 8.3-8.4 but my nitrate has been consistently at 40ppm. I've already done 2 5 gallon water changes, but it stays at 40. Any ideas?
