Hey guys,
I have just decided to have some saltwater fishes. I have just bought a tiny tank (22L) i think, hypdro meter, salt, heater, Stree Zyme. Costing me a total of $250
I have been running the water for 3 days now, and i'm wondering what is the problem because my hydrometer goes all the way to the bottom then jumps to 1.021, then comes back down. On day one it was at 1.030!! but now it seems its on rock bottom and from time to time jumps up and down.
I know i need to keep the needle between 1.023 and .1020. What am i doing wrong? is it not enough salt? i have the Red Sea hydro meter and its reading 24degree and 26degree. I am not sure what i'm doing wrong. Can anyone explain!
Thanks
David.
