Do get and use ammonia, nitrite and nitrate test kits for saltwater and document the likely (you might not detect this) rise in ammonia concentration with time, then its drop to zero, an increase in nitrites, and their drop and the inevitable (and welcome) presence and increase in nitrates.

When the ammonia and nitrites have gone to zero parts per million (ppm) and there is appreciable nitrates (a few ppm), and likely the beginning of algal growth, you are ready to start stocking your new system probably with a few "cleaner uppers" to start.

3) Aspirate the! Just like an internal-combustion engine carburetor, a small/er diameter line (flexible or rigid tubing) can be inserted into the larger diameter overflow line/s allowing more gentle mixing of air with water... experiment with the length, placement of aspirators before affixing them permanently.

About Micro Bubble Problems:

A bunch of small bubbles in your water can be more than unsightly... they can cause serious health problems for your livestock. The best way to alleviate small bubble problems is to coalesce them at their source, usually the discharge side of overflow l

Before and after adjusting these water quality parameters, it is important to test the water for each value to be adjusted. It is also important to not adjust water quality too rapidly. Nearly all fish and invertebrates will suffer from rapid changes in water quality.

Nutritional Supplements

Just as we require good nutrition in order to survive, so do aquatic plants, animals and macro algae. In the wild, most fish eat a wide variety of foods. In most cases, it is impossible to duplicate their diet in captivity. Plants and invertebrates i

In reality, the little sweeper mechanism tends to clog with dirt rather quickly. This stops the rotation and renders this powerhead to operate like any other. That really should not surprise anyone that has kept fish any amount of time. When any powerhead is taken apart to clean it, it is usually full of a slimy coating refered to as mulm. This same gelatinous stuff which slows down standard powerheads over time jams the gears in the Powersweeps. As I said, it

The males are larger and more colorful than the females. The male becomes very brightly colored at spawning time. Their nature and needs of treatment are similar to those of the pearl gouramis, they will eat anything they are being feed, however they prefer live foods and prepared mixtures. Best spawned in a separate aquarium especially setup for this purpose. Place a well-conditioned pair into a 40-liter or 60-liter, thickly planted aquarium with a lot of floating plants. The spawn can consist of 300 to 700 eggs. After spawning is completed, the female should b

phosphates too high
hello again- Well my 90 gallon predator/reef tank has been up in running for about 7 months. Everything is running smoothly so far- water parameters are nitrate > 20 ppm, nitrite 0ppm, ammonia 0 ppm, pH 8.2, salinity 1.025, but phosphates are way to high it's about 5 ppm. For the past two weeks....
