New London area salt water support

[chris nailon]

Is there anyone in the Groton/New London area willing to look over my newly established tank. I really could use some pointers...

Thanks!

Max Reef is also a CTARS sponsor.

You can also check out Shoreline Pet & Aquarium out of Old Saybrook..another CTARS sponsor.

Thanks everyone..quick question....today I noticed a thin dark colored film on my gravel. Could this be alge already? The tank is only three day old.

 

[JerSaint]

Could be. A picture would help.

 

[chris nailon]

Try this pic...

 

[JerSaint]

Yup that's the start of algae. Did you cycle the tank before stocking it? Also, what is your current stock list ?

 

[chris nailon]

I have couple coral and about four fish with some cleaning crew. It's a 54 gallon corner. Yesturday I started seeding with bacteria. Everyone was moved from. Bio cube to the new tank.

 

[JerSaint]

Cool. If you want me to come check it out in person. I am happy to help out.

I'm in new London as well. If you don't have your own water testing kit you can bring a sample to petco and they will check it for free but I suggest getting your own. Got mine from Amazon for pretty cheap

Just installed a SC-3o1 protein skimmer to me pro flex model 1 sump(return section). Everything is working fine, expect now I'm getting a small amount of micro bubbles being pushing to the display tank.

Will is resolve its self once the skimmer is broken in?

Any advice?
