Tank has been up since Sep 2017 as I moved. The conditioner is to remove chlorimine mainly. It may remove some other stuff. I use what the club had Fluval Aqua Plus. By no means does it replace an RO/DI. I would have to connect and reconnect every time I use it and the house / kitchen is small...

Been using tap for almost 3 years now with water conditioner.

Here are the results of water testing. Nothing bad IMO; PH and Cal can be easily corrected. PH - 7.7 Hardness / KH - 10 Calcium - 240ppm Nitrite - 0 Nitrate - 0 Ammonia - 0 I will do a 15 gallon water change tomorrow. I also placed a bag of carbon in the sump and replaced my GFO.

I did not go to many frag swaps back then. I had a bunch of those magazines and finally got rid of them. Kept a select few.

Thanks

Still doesn't explain skimmer going off the rails. Only thing is I manually top off and use concentrated water conditioner. Maybe to much this time and skimmer went nuts. I usually do 1g per day but I had o add 2g uopn return from vac. Who knows.

Already thought of that. Just getting nervous cause its the third one. 1st was before Xmas, a diamond goby which ate all the pods I'm sure and did eat frozen. He was the last to eat so maybe starved? The filefish I chalked up to it getting crazy glue stuck in its mouth. Even though I got the...

I decided to test my water and see if anything odd shows up. I keep all my equipment in the garage which is very cold as we all know. Can I use the kits right away or let them sit until they reach room temp? Not sure if the temperature will impact the chemicals and test results. Thanks

Welcome Dave.

Thanks, my sump is small too; can't even add a fuge.

I don't do water changes often, probably did 10g 2x since tank was setup in Sep. I use Red Sea coral colors weekly and will look into Triton and AF.

Welcome Justin, start a build thread so we can see progress.

Nothing new added. Not sure what to test for.

Something is wrong and no clue. Today my flame back Angel is missing. Never came out even at feeding time. So in 2 weeks 3 fish gone. Since I came home on the 1st my skimmer has been going crazy. No sign of stress from fish or corals. Will do small water change and see if that helps. Anyone...

No a!have in the scratch yet, but good to know. I just hate looking at the blue light scratches.

Vark913 & Larry, welcome to NJRC.

I added moonlights to my tank yesterday, thanks mark_c. When the lights went out I noticed that the moonlight showed the front tank has scratches. Most likely from sand caught in magnet cleaner. They are a few inches from top. Is there a way to get them out without taking the whole tank apart?

I agree with Mark_C maybe ACC should take a step back and slow down.

I agree Jeremy. I went for the 3 coral sale or whatever they call it. I asked about the sale beforehand. Then I made my selections and advised staff. It was at this time I was told oh those corals are not part of the sale. So I had to be very specific in questioning what was the sale. They...

I have good luck with fish purchased from ACC, corals are hit and miss but will not hold that against them. Some corals do well and others don't; can be the tank itself other corals or fish bothering it. My concern is the staff and what I consider misleading info.
