I started my 120gl just about 3 weeks ago with a piece of shrimp. I've been through the ammonia spike and the nitrite spike and nitrate is settling now at around 10ppm. Diatoms started about a week ago and are now starting to settle down though still very visible. CUC went in about 6 days ago...

nice looking tank. We all struggle with taking things slow. I'm in that dilemma now wanting to make my tank look as nice as everyone else's. But mine has only been going for a couple of weeks now....patience is a virtue....

mine was pretty cloudy too. I used some Bonded filter in my bubble separator in the fuge . Just cut to fit and it cleared up the water in no time Aquarium Mechanical Filtration Media: Blue Bonded Filter Pads

I wouldn't trust the water dispenser at any store to be RO. most of them are just carbon filtered for chlorine removal and to make the water taste better. At best they produce marginal quality water. Certainly not good enough for your reef tank. Getting your own RO/DI system is by far the best...

wow, amazing

We are 15 days into the new set up and here is the latest update. Diatoms are still going strong although it looks like today they are starting to dissipate a little. The Skimmer is starting to collect some green nasty stuff. The crabs are having a blast cleaning up the diatoms. and we are...

very nice...great pics.

so is this what you ordered? MarineDepot.com Exclusive ReefKeeper Lite + SL1 Expansion Unit w/ FREE pH Probe or is the RXL something different? just curious

The RKL comes with a temp. and PH probe. You can program it for dosing pumps as I understand it. I'm not there yet as my tank is new and I'm not dosing anything now. The ATO feature is really nice and works really well. It gives you some peace of mind in that it will shut off the heater and turn...

Laz, I just purchased the RKL for my setup and I really like it. However if you are going to use the ATO feature you have to purchase the float switch separately. It comes with the PH and Temp. probe and two power strips which gives you 8 plugs to work with. Once you get your head wrapped around...

I have been watching the temps. I may have to add another heater. I have one now but it won't get it warmer than 78. I was waiting for the temps outside to moderate. It has been colder than normal here and I was hoping that once the temps outside come up a little that it would help so we will see.

Well it has been 11 days since staring the new saltwater tank and here is the progress report. test results this morning. Looks like Ammonia is coming down and the nitrite is starting to show. Also a little change in the nitrate level. New life is starting to show up in the DT tank as well. I...
