    Anyone in the Des Moines area do any aquarium care and upkeep for other people for some extra side money? I have a tank I just tore everything out of and cleaned and cooked live rock and now I need to set it all back up and get it going again, I had a algae problem and couldn't figure out here I was coming from so I took everyrhin out and bleached it.
    Now I'm to busy with work to get it all set back up and I want to get it going again if your interested in making some extra cash let me know... Thanks

    How long have you been doing this for? The whole reason I tore it apart was because I had a bad case of algae an it came out of no where and I tried everything I possibly could to get rid of it and I fought it for 9 months and the more I tried the faster it grew, finally after my corals were all dead I said screw it and tore it apart... Now I'm to busy with work and everything else that I don't have time to set it back up

    The tank cycled for 3 months I had it up and goin for almost 2 years at my building, I have hallides and the actual hallides were on for 4 hours a day then the actnics were on for 8 and the LEDs were on the rest. I had this exact setup at my house up and going for 4 years plus.. Corals and everything did awesome.

    Maybe a problem with nitrates and phosphates?
