my skimmer doesnt seem to be producing to much waste in the collection cup. Is this due to the fact that my tank doesnt have that high of a bioload?

Its a 29 tall with a Royal gramma and a fire shrimp and a CUC 5 hermits and 5 snails

WILL BE THERE FOR SURE, shanes a great guy thanks for letting us meet in your shop

eeehhh maybe a third of the way over, but i still wanna know if where i think it is, is correct

ok, gotta admit im a lil lost now

wow this thread is really pointing out all the reefers around me haha

Really happy things are turning around for you, and I hope all goes well with your lawsuit

daves kinda made my jaw drop..............Nice pic

well then i certainly dont feel so sneaky anymore

why? you got the 400 gallon on a 4 month time frame?

I know the spot, i feel like a sneaky ninja hahaha

welcome, and you are correct lots and lots of informative helpful people here

PM sent

you wouldnt happen to have any pics

Should i be checking levels daily during the cycle

then i guess ill check my levels every couple of days and see how things go

been monitoring nitrite with dip test and its claiming .5ppm at the moment. this TLC says cycles in 3 to 7 days"safely yet rapidly" could it be coming close to finishing the cycle already?

thanks for the input, was nice to get some sorta feedback after almost 30 viewers lol.

are my levels ok at this point in the life of the tank?

Im dosing with TLC for saltwater as per Shane(fishybusiness) suggestion. (bottle was thrown in with purchase)

my readings so far are as follows:

Calcium 420ppm

KH 161.1 ppm

Phosphate 0ppm

Nitrate 10ppm

Ammonia 0.50ppm

and heres the pic

also saw my first hitchhiker today

rock went first then crushed coral

This was in no way intended to start people bad mouthing our LFS. was mearly a question of what is this strange object on my rock. I really like the stores we have here in town. Ive never really had any problems with any of them. I will still give business to aquatek, ill just be inspecting my rock a lil more carefully from now on. (was prolly written while mike was posting his)

wow and all this time i was putting so much work into my freshies, water changes, water testing, dosing.............much more than water and cleaning the filter

im down to help schedule permitting

thanks everyone that helped. CRmike thanks for the kalk powder, just hit about 12 that i saw on the rest of the rock hoping thats all. really really nice tanks you got there mike, cant wait to see the 400 up an running(also first time i saw a skimmer that was taller than me)

aquatek

really I have no idea
