Thx guys! Haha we are gettin closer to havin fish!

Certainly are, but one step at a time... Its slow goin and tests your oatience. Also if you have the cal fluid test every few months, itll get jostled here and there a pissible bump and checking once in a while is a good idea

Ya its much easier to go slow in saltwater because everything is more expensive so it makes you wait a little bit between purchases, and even while your tank is cycling there is so much life in the tank! I mean, i just spend 30 minutes watching a bristle star and feather duster...lol i cant imagine how its going to be when the tank is finished! and okay, we will check the refractometer next time we use it! Thanks!

 

[needmorecowbell]

That's exactly how I think!

[Nu-Nu the eel]
