The husband and i are looking in to getting a SW tank.. he saw on in the paper for 400 bucks for a 125 gal tank or something with all the parts.. I would be happy with a 55 gal or something.. i dont think i would want to go smaller then a 55 gal SW tank.. im no so worried about the fish.. i like...

allrighty! awsome! now a question on ammonia.. my ammonia is at .75 - 1 thats just right now.. what are the guidelines of waterchanges.. since the ammonia was quite high we changed the water lastnight.. should i just do it once a day untill the ammonia reads 0 or only if the ammonia gets above 1 ?

now long does it take to dechlorinate your water? i usally put the drops in before i put it in the tank but how long does this process take?

I just want to thank you guys for the help you both gave... I am doing what you say and it looks like things are getting better.. the ammonia is slowly going down and nitrate is going up i think nitrate is at 10 ammonia is at 1.0 though but its better then the 2 that it was at.. Im new at this...

cycle by nutrafin (SP) im going to go out and get test strips fo rthe ammonia readding in a few mins.. the strips i have just list the 5 i listed

Well the strips that i have dont test for ammonia we put that bacteria stuff in before we put the fish in.. it went all cloudy then went clear.. so what your saying is i need to go out and buy an ammonia test kit.. and follow the instructions on the link.. im sorry but im new at this..
