I don't know if the skimmer would bring in enough ammonia to make it worth worrying about but it would be interesting to see if I could filter it if I would see a difference. Nitrates are somwhere...

I can appreciate the complexity of of the hair algea problem and nitrate problem. But if I am doing water changes with amonia levels between 1 and 4 mg/L then the end result of that amonia is going...

Ammonia can be smelt from the litter box in the basement if it's not kept clean. I assume that is where it is coming from. I don't know a lot about it but I would think the concentration would have...

Amonia problems

It seems I have amonia in my air that is getting into the water I use for top off and water changes. I'm not sure I've ever tested my water change water for amonia before but a week ago I was...

I wasn't running anything but floss to remove particles. I'm now running GFO to try and fight algea. What you choose to run depends on what you are trying to fight. What it comes down to is you...

Okay, I should have asked that first. I'm not sure how long it takes to cure, never done it myself. I almost didn't think of that. I don't really see un-cured rock for sale in my area. I would...

I have read that about bio balls. They need to be kept free of detritus. The other issue, as I have read, is that the denitrifying bacteria in live rock can't do anything with free floating...

I would. It doesn't make sense to me that you would still have amonia in the system unless you have something big rotting in the tank.

What did you do to start the cycle? What are your amonia,...

If you have enough live rock you don't need the bio balls. I have read you should remove them slowly so the rest of the system has time to adjust, but I have never had bio balls myself.

It never bothered my clam, snails, hermits, or shrimp. I don't think I've used it since I've had the urchin though. I always put an airstone in the tank to keep up oxygen levels.
