They both should be fine. Fish dont even really need light, and leathers are usually low light.

Tanks cycle through on their own time but usually around a month or so. Youll have to get test kits to keep an eye on the ammonia, nitrites and nitrates. First the ammonia will get high, then it will turn to nitrite, and finally to nitrate. When ammonia and nitrite are both zero you could do a...

Wow! That urchin is something! Beautiful pics and a lovely tank :D

Update Went to the pet store and they actually had an alk test. (hagen by nutrafin) Tested my water and it was 10dkh I can sleep a little better now.

Tanks looking great :) Shouldnt be too long before the whole back is purple. I miss my cleaner shrimp, I liked when he cleaned my hands but hated it when he picked under my nails lol

Yeah I only have a pets unlimited here, called them and they only test the basics -.- Figures. Ohwell ill just have to wait until I get a new test. Driving 10 hours is just not an option atm;)

Figured as much. When I told him I always heard it was between 8 and 12dkh he basically told me I was wrong and recommended some book I have never heard of :/ Going to order a different test and when that comes ill see how that one goes :)

Reef Master Test Kit - API link. Bf thinks the test is fked, Corals look lovely just this damn test tells us its bad. Methinks im just not gonna worry about it.

Ugh Nope the test is saltwater in the Essential for reefs kit. Just got off the phone with API and according to them 17dkh is fine if not normal.. I think Im confused :/ Any recommedations on a good alk kit?

Corals look good, 17 drops = 17 dkh Calcium is 580 The only thing I can think of is maybe i should be dividing by two and the instructions just dont say it? Tried to call API but I just got the answering machine.

I may have muffed up the tests, but im not so sure. Ill test again first time using the API ones

sadly I have both a fowlr and a reef tank, never bothered testing the fowlr. Was really only concerned with the reef tank. Ordered new salt but it wont be here til mid December, Damn fish store has none, wont get some til mid december (i wonder if we have the same supplier? lol) I hate living...

17 freaking dkh stopped counting cal after 600. Ugh i dont test my water a few months and all hell breaks loose. Been reading up on people having problems with instant ocean salt so I decided to test my water for the first time in a while. Dont add buffers or calcium or anything like that...

I have heard that you can keep them a little earlier then the other nems, but I personally would wait a little longer until the tank has been set up (in your house) for 6 months or so.

How long has it been set up for?

But you havent lived until you feel 9 volts! lol :mrgreen: Maybe it had to do with the fact that the majority of my friends growing up were male.

lol Im one of those messed up people that actually likes the way a 9 volt battery feels on my tongue :) Why im not sure lol.

I would have no problem going over, if I could modify the floor, which I cant. This building is only about 20 years old, but I live on a reserve and most of the older houses have sub par construction.

Methinks that coral is dead :mrgreen: Its looking great though :D

Im pretty sure the craigs list killed ruined the hook up part for everyone Pok. Also there may be a different site for your area that is alot like craigs list. Around here we use Kajiji. Also remember you dont have to set up the tank right away, you could just get a few pieces at a time rather...
