I posted on the "New to Hobby" thread and was advised to start a build thread. "New Reef Tank Owner" .....aka HELP I found a Leak!!Just to bring everyone back up to speed, we inherited a 150 gallon acrylic reef tank that was badly maintained. Best guess the tank was at least 10 years old and it was being professionally serviced every two weeks but not well. Shortly after posting our introduction we found a leak coming from somewhere that was damaging the adjacent sheetrock and floors. judging from the condition of the room that leak was not the first time it happened in the history of the home, so we panicked a bit. After a lot of scrambling and with help from the awesome members here, we think the problem may have been coming from the protein skimmer. We took apart, cleaned, and reintroduced the skimmer and all seems to be working okay now with a minor workaround for a leaky gasket on the skimmer plumbing (not the cause of the big leak) . We have committed to keeping and maintaining this tank as a family with our 15 yr old son taking lead on the maintenance duties. We will begin fixing all the stuff wrong with it this summer. We are just working on getting it cleaned up right now. We have never owned a fish tank before so this is all new to us. Does anyone have a maintenance checklist that they use so they remember what to do when? Also we checked some basic levels and found the following* Nitrate Level is over 50 (approx 70)* The Alkalinity is 7 dKH* pH is approx 8.3* Nitrite is Zero* Ammonia is 0.2We know the Nitrate level is too high? How do bring this down to normal levels? Do any of these other levels sound off base? I'll update with pics soon.We currently have bio balls in the back. We are going to remove all those and replace with chaeto and a fuge light. How much of it do we need to buy? Where? Thanks in advance, A&E
