1) Most newbies seem to buy crappy test kits to start with because they don't see the value in good test kits even if the LFS tells...

I gave up on Salifert for calcium and alkalinity a long time ago. When I buy a new kit, I always test twice with the old kit, twice with the new kit. Salifert Calcium was off by 60-80 ppm from...

No. I don't trust these readings to be correct though. If you're not adding anything with calcium in it, then the readings don't make sense. Unless you have one of those old buckets of Kent salt...

API kits are ok for ammonia and nitrate, but they really aren't that good for calcium and alkalinity. I'm doubtful your test kits are accurate, but have you been adding something with calcium in it?...

You're welcome. :)



Why not put some ZeoLites back in, remove the GFO, and adjust the ZeoStart up and down to adjust to the amount of food you want to feed? Maybe this is your your plan...

In a brand new tank like this, you won't see softie growth in only 7 weeks. Once the tank is established, you will notice growth in 7 weeks.

What brand test kits do you have?

You don't need to test calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium in a softie-only tank as long as you are doing at least 10% weekly waterchanges or 20% bi-weekly (is even better) since the waterchanges will...

Yes, it's normal with those two salts. It's not algae, it's organic scum. Some people switch salt because of this, others don't care. I'm in the "don't care" category.

Yeah, if you don't want pale Acros you have to feed them. Or you can use the ZeoLites, but use less of them. There are all sorts of combos, but you really should subscribe to a whole system or it...

When carbon dosing, the bacteria use both NO3 and PO4. The system will usually get to "0" NO3 and still have remaining PO4 because the bacteria use many more times the NO3 than the PO4. Some people...
