HELP....HELP...HELP...please!!!!!!!

[Reef_Angel]

Thanks for missing me!:p Actually, I have felt quite bad about not taking the time to let everyone know how sorry we are that our presense has been scarse! Dave has been swamped with work, and my health is still doing a nose dive. It seems like all I do is go to the doctor, pharmacy, and maybe some grocery shopping. The doctors are unable to keep my pain level under control, so sometimes I feel like a guinea pig test subject. Needless to say, where there's pain, there's just sheer exhaustion. I wind up sleeping a lot which is depressing. I promise I will try to get on more often and keep up with things.

As for our tanks, we have the 180g up and running in the basement with my big tangs and a few other fish. We have a 25g with just a little bit of coral in it , but not for long. That will be moved over to the 180g when Dave has time. I can't get down the basement stairs with my condition. I still have my 5 beloved Kellloggi seahorses in an octogon 45g tank in my office. They are my babies, and they are virtually care free. I haven't ever had any problems with them, and I believe they are full grown now. I also have an empty 20g wall tank that is going to be a fresh water plant tank. I'm going for "pretty" in that wall, and I plan to raise my own ghost shrimp in there. It's nice to give the seahorses a treat once in a while. Mine have eaten frozen mysis from the beginning, so they can only look forward to their treats, and the thrill of the hunt once in a while chasing some shrimp!

Please remember that we are always here. Send e-mail or feel free to call us anytime if you'd like to talk. Laying in bed on bad days can really be a b-tch! My cell number is: (60 548-0097, so feel free to hollar at me anytime.

Talk to you soon!

thank you all for your fast responces
i love you all thanks again ( its not like that) as good friends ...lol lol..lol

your trate and phosphate readings could be false negatives if the cyano is using them as fast as they are generated.

[hummer]

what is trate?

phosphate where at 0 .... what do u mean false negatives

i dont have any other algee in the main tank except the cyano and coraline
i did have the light on my sump on all the time and 12 hrs in the main tank .....i have now changed that

[jojo22]

Nitrate, and like I said it could read 0 because they are being used by the cyano faster than they are produced.

Thanks for the correction on my cell number Marc! :p The funny thing is, I'm usually careful not to do that. Somewhere on the site I made the same correction for someone else. I need to get back in the groove here. I really do miss everybody!:o I promise to be a better Administrator! Take care everyone! ....Angel

[melev]

No problem, Angel. I hope you get to feeling better. Pain sucks.

[iVgOnMaD]

What JoJo is saying is that the Phosphate is reading zero because your cyano bacteria is eating it. I would remove the Cyano and do the 3 day lights off treatment to get kill it but it might return if you dont find the source.

[hummer]

well lights were off for 2.5 days suck it all out twice and this morning i see no signs of it yayayayayayayaya .... thank you all for you great help
