  1. Please evaluate my plan

    That is a very very patient plan and should be just fine. I would cycle the lights normally and run pumps normally during this process. If you dont have the power or flow pumps then minimize lights to minimize algae that will normally grow. Otherwise watch it and ensure you have snails etc that...

  2. The new Upflow Algae Scrubber (UAS)

    You are trying awfully hard to sell something to people who know it fails long term. We have see the disasters that occur from ATS run tanks. We just aren't going to buy it now. I see nothing different about this "new modern version" that would warrant a re-look at a failed strategy to filter a...

  3. Aquarium software for plumbing ?

    I am not aware of any software for plumbing....I use visio every day for networks and such but cant say ive ever heard of software for for auto creating plumbing setups... Visio would work just fine for any plumbing diagram you wish to create.

  7. The new goldfish.....

    http://www.wired.com/reviews/2011/12/re ... yfishtank/ mmmmm no

  8. snails, crabs and shrimp with butterflies and angels?

    agreed ....adding multiple dwarf angels to a small and even large tank usually ends in the death one or both.....they just dont play well together unless they are large (200+) gallon tanks...you might get lucky but i wouldn't bet the fishes life on it...

  9. New coral named after a video game.....

  10. Salinity Refractometer 0~28% or Salinity Refractometer 0~10%

    You need it to start at 1.000 so you can calibrate it with fresh water. Otherwise you need certified test solutions... refractometers from 1.000 to 1.030 are quite common

  11. Salinity Refractometer 0~28% or Salinity Refractometer 0~10%

    Never seen a salinity of 0-10% get a refractometer that measures SG 1.000 through 1.030 .....you will be better off

  12. high nitrates-30g

    You need to do water changes every few weeks not ever other month and clean any filters out....over time nitrates will naturally build up in a closed system. Fish waste is great food for other flora fauna in a tank so i suspect your tank is starving.... Your sand may be accumulating detritus...

  13. Tanked.....

    While they do have some cool tanks....its really a big disappointment http://animal.discovery.com/tv/tanked/ but you may enjoy it...
