dude if you still have the tanl please remove the bio ball there horriable for a saltwater tank they do more harm then good, they cause massive nitrates
@karsseboomh22 Haha that's funny... You obviously don't know what you are talking about. I have a 54 gallon reef corner tank with 100 lbs of live rock. Get this, I have a wet/dry trickle filter with 3 gallons worth of bio balls. In my sump area where I have more live rock and an amazing protein skimmer.
GUESS WHAT!!!??? My nitrates are undetectable! What your problem is that you have read or heard about them from other people. Have you ever had bio balls in your system? I think not...
exactly what size tanks i have for my main and my sump but im having problems with my return to my main tank the flow is to strong what could i do just by a valve to control it?
so your overflow isn't keeping up because your pump is to fast? You either need to slow down the flow of the pump, or purchase a different/smaller pump.
Well, first off, where do you plan to put all your freshwater fish currently in the tank? As for Mono fish, yes, they can live in freshwater to marine water, but if you change him from fresh to marine, you need to very slowly bring him up to marine salt levels. If you only have the single mono fish in the tank. I would suggest slowly raising the salt level over about a week or two.
i have small tank (50lt) and small mono ONly in my tank. i want to change my this mono fish into salt water fish then later when they get big i will buy BIG tank..i will but some live rock than start putting salt.
well if you have a drilled tank where the water empties as it rises, you should have no chance of that. You can use the filter as the pump, however, most canisters don't pump too fast, unless yours is really strong. I didn't look it up so I don't know. Over 250GPH is best, more the better, long as your drainage can keep up.
not to many fish actually. They are mostly young fish. I do agree, at adult age all these fish in one tank would be to many, but as is, it is just fine. I plan later to split the fish into a 'predator' tank a 'community/reef' tank. For now all is good. I check water quality daily and haven't had a single problem with levels.
The GSP and Mono are truly "brackish" fish, however, they can do just fine in marine. Figure 8 puffers need lower SG, while GSP's do better with higher SG. I originally had them in brackish and very slowly acclimated them up to what my tanks is at now 1.021
cool i have wood and fake plants in my marine aquarium too
