Aquarium Advice Newbie
Hello everyone!
I just recently found AquariumAdvice.com and this is my first post! As the king of newbs, I had some questions about my new setup. I just finished (after about 2 months of plumbing, buying, pulling out hair, etc.) my 34g hex and 5g sump. I'm using an Eheim 1262 for return and water flow, a AquaC urchin with maxijett 1200 for a protein skimmer. I'm still having a few issues and questions here and there and was hoping for some help.
My params are...
Water - RO
Temp - 79
Salinity - 1.025
Nitrite - .5
Nitrate - 3 or 4
PH - 8.5
Alk - 8
Free Ammonia - >0.1
Total Ammonia - 0.1
I'm still having microbubble issues, and no matter what I try, it still persists. I've pretty much just given up on it at this point. I was wondering if anyone here has microbubble issues that cause harm or unwanted effects to their livestocks.
I ordered LR from LRs.com and LS from saltwaterfish.com but it won't get here until tuesday. Do you have to acclimate LR or LS in any way? Do you put any kind of food in to feed the "rock"?
Thanks everyone!
