Dro and Mermer's first 29 gallon reef"

[little_fish]

i have to go buy some of that, but im kinda iffy about doing it bc im so inexperienced,....once i zap it do i do a water change? or just let it be?

Just follow the directions and you will be fine. The trick is to move slowly so they "eat" the stuff and die

and the thought of starting a 90g is exciting and very hurtful in my wallet area. but i always try to peak at other 29's to see ideas to make mine look good!

i do the same thing! lol :Cheers: it took me like 2 weeks and 6 aquascapes for me to be happy with my tank, now im just saving money so i can buy my fish and corals

i wanna put 1 cardinal, 1 goby, and a pair of clows :sfish::sfish::sfish::D

any reasons y my nitrates would go up? I've been doing weekly water changes but I tested my water and my nitrates went from 0 to 20 did a 5 gallon water change yday and another 5 gallons today and still at 20-40 what gives?

 

[little_fish]

Are you using tap water? Or overfeeding? And did you double check your results?

 

[Droskie20]

I used filtered tap water to build my tank but I have used ro water ever since, I'm definitely not over feeding and yes I double checked

This is strictly a guess. Without all your water params it's just a wild shot in the dark honestly.
