I need one for my nitrate, and Cal/alkal.

Hi I have the one from API and have no Problem with it. I only have a problem with the color charts, to realy determing what color my test result is matching. But so far with most of these test where you want to be ant 0, it is only important to see the color matching with 0. So everything else...

Just checked out your setup with the link you have, very nice, but to busy for my like. but I can see that the snails I have are the same as yours, at least from their looks of shell. The plumbing looks interesting too. I would say specialized. Things are calming down, the bubbles going away...

ok counted 110 balls, now the water is full of fine airbubbles because the waterfall in the back creates some air intake. The anemone is now free floating and looks like it is on a search for a new place or whants to get away from all that?

looks like I successfully invaded another persons post, sorry Rick, hope you gain some insight from it still.

Carbon is in since about 2 weeks and is a full bag, say 3/4 cup. Are You talking about the sponge after the bio balls? I rinse the prefilter cartridge in the shower, using the massage setting and don`t rub the mesh. So it doesn`t get holes in it. I can see lot`s of Bubbles coming out of the...

I saw a nice documentation from a contest winner here in this forum, was 2005. Nano build off... gave me a lot of "aha I see" reaction. can`t find it back, though. I think my filtration is not working properly and by reading, that is the most important part of the whole thing. In fact of putting...

Interesting to me would be in what timeframe we are talking. When will they double in size by what time, given the right conditions, though.? That would also be a nice indicator for the corals and the fish, just as a guide to newbies.

Hi Rick, I`m new in this too, started a 29 Gal ( actual 20G ) biocube on Jan.01.08. I can`t help you with much Info than what i read in here, but I would like you to have a little feedback about our success and failures over time. I see you got a coral, nice. I`m a little shy to put one in mine...

Hi there, have one of these 29 Bio cube myself since 3 weeks now, just got the oceanic bio cube skimmer for it. It looks as I imagined a little flimsy, but I can`t tell exactly if it works and how efficient it is. The direction for the use and adjustment for that Skimmer is not telling you...

Ansphire - did you read about light requirements for corals yet? http://www.marinedepotlive.com has a learning link where you can get some fundamentals for all kind of things going on in you marine tank. Here I got my first knowledge of this Hobby. In general there is a -Watt per Gallon- rule...

hm, now we getting mixed up. Ansphire, was the one who had a question and got no reply`s to it after I shot cross the scene. So my last post`s was more an post to his question. We awaiting your thought to ansphires`s quest. but i have a store bought setup Bio Cube what comes with each 75 watt...

again if anything it would be not enough, can`t realy think it can be to bright. Let`s wait on Mrx. responce. :roll:

ok I went back to the top and read your question again... as far as I can tell as a newbie to corals, in my 29 gal, the light is not everywhere the same, as the light bulbs in the front are the white ones and in the back the darker actinic ones. so as usual one would build the Rockwall climbing...

How about Water from the supermarket? Purified or Destilled? Is a Britta filter Pitcher good enough filter for waterchanges? Got my tankwater tested today and the Cal. is at 460. thanks again and sorry again, ansphire.
