No shrimp unfortunately, my fish are big and mean. Haha found homes for them today tho.

I know this is a saltwater forum but was curious if there’s another one similar to this for freshwater. I’m starting my reef build but have a few freshwater fish I need to re-home in order to continue. Any help Is appreciated.

Is this tank available?

Yes my tank has a overflow area. What can I toss in there to help with water quality?

eventually i would like to get into some coral. turns out my nitrate test bottles were bad the lfs tested it and it was perfect. so yea once i get the FOWLR down ill move into some soft corals.

I think a little false percula.

Well my nitrates were almost zero a week an a half ago so I'm pretty sure the cycle is over but yeah I think ill get my fish tomorrow and just make sure I do water changes every 5-6 days:-) thanks everyone!

Its been up just over a month. I only did a gallon water change. Right now there is no fish or corals. I don't wanna buy a fish and have it die a.day or two later.... so should I wait a few more days or u think it would be ok to get a fish tomorrow?

So I tested my water last night and my nitrates were about 20ppm and so I did a water change. Today I tested it again and it dropped but barely its about 15 ppm now. All that's in it is a peppermint shrimp and 5 blue leg hermits. Its a 10 gallon with live rock and sand. Why are my nitrates still high? Does it need more then a day or did I do something wrong?
