I did a little browsing in this thread you you guys have some amazing tanks and fish. One of my dreams was to have a salt-water wall tank seperating two rooms.

My neighbor, who I got most of my reef stuff from, built part of his house to hold a 3000 gallon tank separating two rooms. He sold the house before he ever built that so it was turned into an entertainment center. You would have needed scuba gear to clean it.

Nope Nope and Nope. It is a fish. Crustaceans wouldn't last a day with my eel.

That's always been a dream of mine, to have a huge reef tank. Either long separating rooms or the large column tanks that you can walk around. Go powerball!

Ammonia 0.5
Nitrites 5
Nitrates 20:(
pH 8.4
Salinity 1.021


Water change?

Those nitrates aren't super high. I know of people who have run reef tanks with nitrates in the 60's. While not ideal, it can be done. You'll get both sides on water changes during the cycle. I wouldn't, let the cycle fully complete. If nitrates jump into the 40's then do water changes. Also, if you are going to raise the salinity now is the time to do it. That way there won't be any corals in there if you are making swings.

Guys, I ordered a battery air pump and shopped refractometers.
I found this one at ebay and was going to pull the trigger, but there were lots to choose from.
The one I picked ships from Hong Kong, but I'm in no big hurry. It looked like the nicest of all of them I looked at.
Let me know what you think, will ya?

Re: The Official Asylum Reef Tank Thread
 
Hey there Scott. I have that Exact same refractometer in your link and it works awesome! I am sure you will be pleased with it.
