Washing

[Jaiden73]

All I truly want is to have a beautiful tank that I can look at be happy and R2R members help me to get it done.

Jaiden I recommend that before dropping a wall of text that’s barely intelligible, you step back, look at the incoherent mess you just typed, and change it to keep it on topic.

How new is this tank? Bioload?

 

[Jaiden73]

I rush a lot. I don't have to correct so sorry I can't make it all right and spiffy. Ok . 11 months.

 

[Jaiden73]

3.9

 

[Jaiden73]

So you are saying you never used any of those products? In the screenshots that I posted it says you did use them and they didn't work. It's hard to help someone when you continue to change your stories. I've honestly tried to reach out and help you but I don't know what the truth is anymore. The last part of your post comes off a bit rude and again I'm only trying to help. I wish I could be of further assistance but apparently I can not. Good luck with your tank and future endeavours and wish you the best.

Oh I'm well covered.

3.9

??

 

[Jaiden73]

GPA. But you need to know this is all new to me. I worked at the National Zoo in Washington I dealt with Poisonous Snakes and Big Cats mostly. The GPA drop cause that say anything. Mine had more awareness because what animals I dealt with. Actually about over 20 yrs ago my first Saltwater crashed and I quit. Now back in It the technology is much different. So from workings with animals this more new than anything. Sometimes I try to make sense but type to fast and as you said that's what I get. I'm trying hard though to be more understanding when I type so it makes sense.

Yeah, 3.9! Fairly obvious really [emoji28]

Now listen here, no one understand what in the heck is going on and won’t be able to help one little bit if you don’t write a coherent summary on what exactly your levels are at, what measures you have tried and the specs of your tank (filtration, bio load etc).

Take a deep breath and try to write it all out as clear as possible and you will get the help you need.

This really doesn’t help. Stop with the paragraph bombs.

 

[Jaiden73]

Ok I know my righting had been not so understandable, I get frustrated and then it's bad. Now I'm taking my time slowing down do if post members will understanding better and I hope they understand they did nothing.y not so good writing caused a bit of backlash. Things are going to change and members will understand my problem and help me out more because they can't understand. So now I'm slowing down and putting it into text that applies to the topic and problem I'm having. So now any member will not complain because the text is understandable and that makes a big difference.

 

[Jaiden73]

True. 36 in. If you have the money I would try Mars aqua 300watt full spectrum. I don't think it's that expensive.

 

[Jaiden73]

Nicrew LED is pretty good or you could a Finnex Fuge Ray, cheapest is Beamswork

Before you hit send, go back and proofread what you just typed. Your speaking jibberish and no body understands what your typing. Relax and go slow.

 

[Jaiden73]

What part I made it. Clearly saying the Choies he has. That's clear as day. My temper. I need to Cool.

 

[67chevellemalibu2]

Read what I wrote to Ken the owner. I told him everything and even gave him permission to look in my inbox. So members who help me know I manned up. Ken I got a pm and be was answering. I told him the truth. I was man enough to admit I was wrong. That was not good enough for you. I also said no one person is at fault we all are. So I will wait for his decision and will accept what ever he decides. You just couldn't leave it alone, you can't be a man. Why because you would nevet admit you are are wrong. That's the way kids are. I admitted and you just couldn't let it go. So I'm trying to just leave it as is and let Ken decide. I won't be harassed by kids. People usually forgive and forget. You won't so I had no other choice but to give permission to look at all 176 PMs you and your friends sent me. It his choice and I'm man enough to take whatever he decided. So we will see. If you can read it, go and read. I let it go and made the decision to bring it up with ken. No one person is at fault. We all are. So say what you will, but I will wait for Ken's decision. I man enough to take whatever he decides. Are you? Again I'm done with it.

Huh?

 

[captainsmitty]

One option would be to take some water to your LFS and have them run an analysis of the water parameters. Never hurts to have a second opinion.

 

[Jaiden73]

Yeah I have talked them and 176 inbox of complete harassment. They have to read all of it. So I'm working with a staff member with a little Gold King next to his name. I think Ken is the nicest person. I wrote and he had a staff come and handle. How many times did I let it how many. He brought a staff member to the forum you he said " Hey @Jaiden73 made mistake and admitted it. So let's show him what we can do to help him". I don't like being harassed and that's why the scales tipped. So again please drop it. Please. BTW I prefer a 1970 Chevelle SS. with a 454. That's the 400 horse power engine tearing up all cars. I think it was 73 or 74 when the Corvette Stingray hit the market. Also another beauty was the 1967 Z28 350, but hand's down the best car in the late 60's was the Cuda 426 with hemispherical heads. Oh that's the beast car

 

[GoVols]

I want to thank all members for helping me to try and figure why Nite were so high. I can't thank each and everyone for helping I'm very grateful for the advice and with everything I learned I believe this was the right place to come. Thank You so much.

Next I talked to a senior staff and I told him and I forgot to add in my first post. That was basically something that sounded weird. So a top person said scrub my LR. My question is how do scrub if I don't know what to scrub with so no damage is done. So if you know a good way please let me know. Again thank you to the members who helped me on my Nitrate problem I don't have the words. So anything that won't damage what I have, what is the best thing to use.

If you used dry rock, which is what your rock looks like (post #8). It needs to be cured.

Ryan says something about nitrates too at about 11:55 into the video.



And one more:

First to start off you need more clear and concise use your 3.9 GPA that is, and slow down your focus to make perfect clear intentions what you are saying. Scrub live rocks needed with just soft brush toothbrush good also good small scrub brush like brush from cleaning supply supplier or local supply type store or general store, but make no mistake and clear sure that no chemicals just hard molded plastic handle just no chemicals added like those they say special on box like "Anti-bacterial" or with bleach just $0.99 store brush type of brush. But rocks first need to be cycled you need to place food source with rocks in saltwater and use heater and move water with powerheads and water moving things of this nature and let rocks and tank reach full cycle and if you have already done that the things that grow on live rocks you are seeing on live rock is algae that even the non-3.9's reference in their communications as regards to "Ugly Phase" or "uglies" but whatever the case may be the growth that is growing is normal growing growth and the toothbrush and aforementioned brush of the $0.99 general dollar store or supply type variety will come to factor and you can do the light scrubbing of those rocks with those aforementioned brushes, and then the algae from that ugly phase will now be in the floating water and you get as much out as you can with filter, nets and change your water at 10-20% at a time how much depend on how big of tank big tank being that holding a lot of water. Take off with brush and change water and take out and when tank in balance ugly phase goes away and soon you just need to clean glass sometimes and use clean up crew with the shrimp and snails and crabs and starfish and urchin or what you choose with fish and you will not have need to brush rocks often but you will still want to sometimes when algae is seen usually doing it before water changes.

There ya go.... hope that's clear as crystal pepsi........
