i just did a 15% water change and put carbon in a sleeve on my intake to sump. il try uping the flow too! i think its because i got so much live rock also. is there a way to get more flow behind the rocks?

darkreef 08-20-2013 02:57 AM

oh? so i should probabley use the rock as a sand island? well im upgrading my lighting system as soon as i find a controller .

Still having problems
 
I had problems with zoos. and it was aways the red ones. Now I dose with ecosystems "reef solution". Now when the problem starts I put a cap full in, and they start oping up again right. Hour or so, depending on how bad they are.
I you decide to try it I hope it works

Cleaning ur tank would help. A small layer of algae could be building up on the zoas. More flow? Too much? Good luck

Thinking on renting a hare for a bit. And I put the power head right on the zoo's see if that maybe be the problem . If it still keeps up I'm going to move them down to the sand bed . Going to buy a new tooth brush and brush the algae off . If my lion will let me that is don't want to get stung . See all my other zoos are doing wonderful. One of my sps died though . Not sure if I bleached him or if he's dead .

Ran into a big problem ... I can only get water on Sundays , and the place I get water was to chep to give me a new lid... Ten gallons of water in my trunk ... No fresh left. I have conditioner but didn't really want to use tap . Would this be ok for a few top ups and one water change until sunday?

Yes. Alot of people use tap water. You can find good priced RO units in buy/sell section.

Yea I'm currently using tap water. I will be getting bottled water ASAP tho.

I have another small question , I have crappy lights. . Two old t5s just went and boufht a ai sol blue unit and don't wanna bleach everything ... Was think 35% to start ? And should I just mainly worry about the whites or will the blues bleach too .

91Atrac 08-22-2013 11:25 PM

I'd worry about the whites mostly. Those units are said to be powerful but depends on the size of your tank and the wattage of unit you got.
