    Thanks for the reply. I did a 20% water change and added some more turbo start and I was at zero nitrite and nitrate after two days, so we’re good! Finally.

    New tank cycling stall - looking for bio media in RI/Uxbridge area

    I recently got back in with a 48 Fiji-cube. I started with dry rock and live sand. I seeded it with Turbo start 900 and then added Fritz fishless fuel for the ammonia. I think I messed up the doses. It’s been over two weeks and the nitrites are still high. I did a 15 gallon water change and it...

    Warning! Dog chewed some LR with yellow polyps on it. Lots of throw up

    I just wanted to raise some awareness about dogs and our reef tanks. About three days ago my 2 yr old Lab grabbed some LR rubble i was tossing that had some yellow polyps on it. He threw up about 7 times. At the time we didn't know he had grabbed the LR. We brought him to the vet and she sent us...

    90g stand rotting away. Need some help ASAP please!

    Thanks for all the input! I think the best route for me is to just get a quick replacement stand and have a nice one built down the road when I have more time to invest in an upgrade. I can drain the water, take the big rocks out and carefully slide it on to the new stand ( at least thats the...

    90g stand rotting away. Need some help ASAP please!

    Thanks for the tips. I was hoping to just drain the tanks take out the rocks and slide the tank into a new stand. I wonder if a whole new system is the way to go? I'll try and get some pics tonight. Maybe I'm overreacting. The swelling panels make me nervous. My wedding is in a couple weeks. I...

    Reccomend Your Auto Top Off System

    I have my RODI out water line split and hooked up to my sump with a float valve. I have been running it for about 6 months and its been working great. I think the float and the blue tubing only cost me around 30 bucks. Plus I never have to re fill anything, just keep the water running. The RODI...

    Live sand question

    I recently had my floors done, so I had to temporarily break down my 90. I transferred all the fish and coral to my old 36 corner tank. I scooped out all my live sand around 50 pounds of it. It smelled pretty nasty so I have it in a bucket outside. Whats my best option when I set up my 90 again...

    AI Vega intensity help??

    Thanks for the tips. I have to check the ramp times. I have them running around 11 hours a day with them ramping pretty quickly. So they are at Max power for probably 8 hours. So you have your lights up to 100% for5 hours? I didn't think the coral could take that much intensity.

    AI Vega intensity help??

    Thanks for the tips. I'll start ramping up the intensity slowly over the next few weeks. I made the mistake when I first got the Vega's and fried a lot of stuff in my tank. After that I turned everything way down.

    Thanks!!! My RBTA has split two times already. might have to start looking for a home for one of them. I lowered the intensity of my Vegas a little and they started wandering around.
