Cmon I know people run fancy LEDs out there, what's everyone got and how many wires does it take to run each fixture?

Okay cool thanks for that Matt, is that what ur running on ur tank? I don't think I ever actually peaked at ur lights lol
Nice.
Came home today to a very cloudy tank. Is this to be expected? I haven't cycled a tank in a long time so I kinda forget lol
Could be a bacteria bloom. If it doesn't clear up in a few days, try running carbon to clear it up. Once it clears up (if it was me) I'd remove the carbon. I generally only run it when I need it, but always have it handy!
I have a 20g tank I use for my clown pairs... and one of my kids decided a Starburst would look great as a decoration inside of it. Needless to say, by the time I got home it had completely dissolved into the water. I thought my Gold Nuggets were gonna die lol!! Times like this, water change/carbon can literally be compared to gold/diamonds

Yeah I'm thinking its a bacteria bloom too. I'm gonna give it a couple days and see how it looks. I may only run carbon when I need it and use the reactor for phosguard(if that's possible). And wow that's pretty funny about the starburst! Kids will do anything lol
Do you think any water changes r necessary during this time? Maybe it'll help with everything I dunno? I also have to bring my salinity up a couple notches before any livestock goes in so I'll have to do a change anyways.
None. I had carbon running but I'm almost certain its depleted. Other than that the only change I made was swapping out my felt filter socks for mesh filter socks
Okay gotcha. Thanks
Well I swapped out the mesh socks for felt socks today. Seemed like within a few mins, the water started to clear up. Not 100% clear but better.
I decided to turn on my skimmer and dial it in for the time being. Within a few mins, its like a foam factory in there! Lol hopefully this will help
Okay I had to turn my skimmer off twice for overflowing and its dialed as far out as it possibly can. Anything you guys would recommend for this foaming crap? Would it benefit to add anything else?
No UV and no GFO. I could do a water change. I just mixed up a whole new brute can 2 days ago.
