your test results look ok

I've got loads of little white things crawlng on the glass front just above the sand bed, the same size as a small grain of sand, approx 1mm. And ideas?

Got some feather dusters too, and noticed last night some chap living in one the holes in the rock! Looks like a small, slightly elongated woodlouse with long antennae and slightly translucent greyish body. Any ideas?

i think the white things are copods. copods mean that your tank is healthy. if you can get a pic of that worm thing then i can help you. from what you have described it looks like somthing i have in my tank

I finding my test results really weird. They have been totally stable around the pics posted previously.

When I bought the LR is was out of water for minimal time and the LFS has been curing it in their vats. I would have thought there was minimal die off.

Even when putting in the LS there was no ammonia spike.

So, I'm going to get a small portion of cuc. 3 narciuss, 3 cerith and a couple of red-legs at the weekend.

yer that happend with me the only thing that whent up was the nitrate for me. the nitrate whent up from 10 to 25 then i did a water change and it was 5 so i added my cuc. i was a bit scared when i added my cuc because your mind thinks how can rock be a filter. but then you remember all the stuff you have read about it.

Have seen a lot on the forums about upgrading to the maxi jet 1200.

Does the increased flow make the UV redundant?

Really nice LPS and angle....Ive got a feeling your tank is going to premo!

I'm not sure on the uv I've done some reading, as Im sure you have and I think it removes more good stuff than bad??? But Im not 100% on that so I have mine turned on. Would love for someone to put me straight on that.

uvs are not very good but they are very good if you have a hospital tank you dont have to have uvs, but you might as well have it on as you have one. but i think coman is right
