Generally speaking, you probably shouldn't add any supplements until you finish your cycle, and then only add things that you test for and know you are lacking.

Aloha e Nicole,

Okay, first of all, breathe. ;) Impatience is a dangerous habit in this hobby.

There are some major differences between LR and TBS. Both are very reputable firms but they...

Is the PS in the sump? Does the water level in the sump change? If so, that could be causing the surging.

You might want to ensure that the outflow from the skimmer is away from the input to your return pump. Ideally the outflow should pass through a couple of baffles to quiet the water.

Aloha,

You might wish to reconsider the Bio-balls. They could be the source of your nitrates. With LR and a sandbed, you should have a home for denitrating bacteria. I've never dealt with them,...

You tested it with Saltwater?

It would probably be okay. You could even go down to your lfs and buy a small amount of LR just to get a small cycle started.

I use ReefCon Pro (http://www.infinitysoft.net/) I think there's a free version, but the full featured one is pretty inexpensive.

So is there no danger to a sudden swing in alkalinity, as there would be in, say pH or SG?

The spectrum is not the same as the Kelvin rating. The K rating is the perceived 'whiteness' of the light compared to a known standard. The spectrum is the wavelength(s) at which the bulb radiates.

I think that folks with reef tanks tend to run a little saltier (at least in their language), while those with FO tanks run a little fresher.
