Please test his water, too! I'm not convinced his nitrate readings are accurate, at this point.

Well are gunna I show him how I testhecan use his own test see what happens...
Also this live rock should really help with the curing and nitrate problems Denny and everyone I owe you a million

As others have said the sand should have been rinsed well. I use a large fish net to rinse sand & only do 2 cups at a time.

When I swap rocks ill be rinsing sand very well...how do you use fish net?and ill be using ro water ofcourse?

Take 2 cups of sand & dump it into the net to wash it. Make sure the net is a very fine mesh, you will lose some so put a pot under the net to catch as much as possible.

Well lol that didn't work

ok so now we have a game plan right , use only the liverock i gave you , start from scratch, all new water.leave alone completely for 2 weeks and low light period.

get to buying yourself a decent skimmer and one of the small reactors i showed you and use the gfo you got(remember passive is better thaan nothing)the sooner these are hooked up and running the better off youll be in the long run.

remember all the little tips and in 2 weeks or so come see me again ill give you a tester frag to try out and we will do a water test and talk about some more ideas and tips:)

nice meeting you cheers!!

Denny, you're the best. :)

Were nitrates really as high as the test was indicating?
