Okay will try and get all the questions answered:
There is a light on the cheato. The current fish load is 1 small regal angel,1 potters,1 flagfin and no none of them nip i have watched them regularily. 1 6line,1 royal gramma and a a 6line.
I have tested the water and nitrates in the source.
System is 4months old in this tank and was 18months old in the other. Everything was moved including water to the new tank.
I wouldn't say the rocks are tight. There are lots of little swim throughs so no i wouldn't say tight.I wonder about the sand. Don't see anything visible on it but maybe it is there and i am just not seeing it.
There is about 130 pounds of rock and yep i use ro/di. Although i think it could use to be changed now.
Never thought about the salt being contaminated though. I will test that when i get home from work.
I use salifert. They are all good for expiry wise. I have also checked it against another kit i have and they are looking about the same.
I have always wondered how people say they have no nitrates. I have always had them even when i had the softies tank. I was hoping when i transffered it all over and cut down on the fish it would help. As i had tangs in the big tank which i had thought was adding to the waste problem.
Just frustrated
