    Alk dropping in newish tank with no corals

    My alkalinity is staying at 7 with Red Sea coral pro salt as my mix. What’s my next move? To preface this a little, I’ve been reefing for 6 or 7 years but don’t have much experience with a dry rock and sand start. The tank has been wet for about two months I think. Nitrogen cycle was done with...

    Some cycling questions.

    To start off with what I know, I have been working with reef tanks for many years and freshwater tanks for much longer. My knowledge on the cycle is pretty good, but my reef tanks were never great, and now I want to change that. I am starting out with dry sand and dry rock which is very...

    Hello fellow saltines, The rock I originally got for my 5g is the CaribSea LifeRock. This rock comes seeded with bacteria. What I didn't realize at the time is that they have a couple different types. Solid and porous. Not knowing any better I got the solid and now want to switch to something...

    "Dry live rock"

    So I was looking at the carib sea moani "dry live rock" stuff for my tank and I kind of like it. My only concern would be that "dry live rock" like pukani etc. from what I've heard can leech a lot of organics, nitrogen and phosphorus into the tank. I was just wondering if anyone has used this...

    80 lbs of Aquaforest AF rock for 98G 5ft shallow tank?

    As per title -- considering it's dry artificial rock -- would 80 lbs of Aquaforest AF rock be enough for 98G 5ft shallow tank? I assume in terms of weight it's gonna be similar to Marcorocks (or lighter according to some people). Should I get more? Or is that enough?

    What is this black stuff on my dry base rock?

    I found this black stuff on a new piece of CaribSea South Sea Base Rock (it came out of the box a few days ago and has never entered my aquarium). It does not scrub off and appears to be encrusted on the rock. Should I worry about it?
