New Nano Reef Tank

[CarmieJo]

I'm sorry about Mr. Jacques. I have found shrimp to be very sensitive to water quality. If your nitrates were high that may be the culprit. I think a water change is a good idea but make sure that all your parameters are dead on. I might hold off on the rock or only add a small piece of fully cured rock.

yea.. im going to wait on the rock..i put the new carbon in and things seem to be fine the nitrates went down..and i know thats why the shrimp died..and everyone else is looking good..the fish are happy and swimming..and that is all that matters.. im starting to think i might get a bigger tank in the future..

Uh oh, a bigger tank, then another tank, you will have a fish room if you don't watch out!

the only thing thats holding me back on corals now are the lights... =( my lights aren't good enough to grow corals under them... i tried....and failed....i need to save up for metal halides... maybe when i move out and have more room for a nice 300g tank then ill get all that fancy stuff...lol
