DeepBlue Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 temperature too high for marine tanks ....bro....your tank is going thru cycling now....you will have to get test kits to test the ammonia, nitrite and nitrate level.... for good info ...can look up the pinned section for newbies.... happy reefing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemo81 Posted September 2, 2003 Author Share Posted September 2, 2003 thanks.. so you are saying the temp of 31-32 causes the worm to come out of the rock and dies off?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member Golden Tooth Posted September 2, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted September 2, 2003 Welcome to the Club. In the cycling stage, u will see a lot of die off due to immature systems bro. Will take a few weeks to stable. Quote Bevor Sie das Licht sehen, müssen Sie sterben! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member Kalib Posted September 3, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted September 3, 2003 what does anaerobic mean??? Something like going stale. You can add a powerhead into the tank to create water circulation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Dazza Posted September 3, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted September 3, 2003 Yes. Just add a powerhead or fan to circulate the water which is going thru its usual maturing cycle. U can also suck away the debris or rot. There shd be more than enough rotting stuff in teh rocks to keep the process going.
