Oh ya I almost forgot I do have some live rock about 60 pds That I just found out it maybe dead or on the way to die.

subsea Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 You have placed a lot of trust in the pet store that helped you to set up your tank. Did they suggest anything to read or study? Do you have any kind of maintenance contract for maintaining this 75G tank? Do you want to know about how this thing works? If so, there are knowledgeable people at this site that can help you. However, you will need to learn a little about termiology. The "tall thingy" in the bottom tank is more than likely a protein skimmer or foam fractionator. It is a mechanical method to remove nutriants from the water. It relies on surface tension of the bubble of air attracting molecules of nutriants, thus "Protein Skimmer". I hope that you have a method of taking pictures to assist those of us that are so qualified. Are as a manager once related to me, "Help me help you". Patrick PS Welcome to the addiction.

Timfish Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Definitely don't be afraid questions! I really like Delbeek and Sprung's "The Reef Aquarium" series and am always reccommending people get Vol. III and read ch. 4-8. The relationship between pH, Alk and Calcium is very important to understand in marine aquariums and a excellent expert to read is Randy Holmes-Farley, he has articles on several different websites.
