Where Am I Going Wrong?..

Also I know the difference between a sump and a filter. I'm 16 not 5.

GSP, You don't use FW filtration on SW.

As far as the rock, I'd double that or at least add 50% more. I have a feeling you might have some food caught somewhere that might be rotting. Move the rock around & see if there's any leftovers. A CUC is going to be difficult in there. You could try a cucumber for substrate cleaning.

The why when I asked previously did you say to? Well you know what, it doesn't matter since I guess I'm always wrong.

You're not always wrong, you do give some good advise but stick with what you're personally experienced with.

If you have a link to where I said to use FW filtration for SW, please post it.

Well, now that I look at it closely I did not specify that the plan was to go marine before I got the bigger setup.

My bad.

I thought an Aquaclear stuffed with LR rubble was suggested, am I wrong?

Post by **Pufferpunk** » Mon Apr 04, 2011 3:05 pm

Yep, that will work.

That really is a great idea.

Well, I added another 10kg of live rock today. In the meantime I am adding Prime & doing water changes++.

I hope it's from a well-established tank.

Yep, from the usual guy I get my marine bit & bobs from. (he breaks established tanks & keeps the rock in his holding tanks for 6wks+, then into his display tanks to sell on).
