Hey whats up everybody... I wish I would have found this forum sooner.
I just invested in a 60 gal. aquarium that I am using for saltwater. I'm probably moving too fast with it but here's my situation.
I filled this tank a week ago using tap water , added almost a whole bag of salt(15lb) my specific gravity is 1.023, 40lbs. of Aragonite, water temp is 78F. This past weekend I added 30lbs. of live rock, 11lbs. of base rock (the live rock did have a foul odor), I added 3 Damsels per a LFS advice. I also purchased a fasTesT master kit and so far I have tested Nitrate 10, Nitrite .2, PH 8.1, Amonia .6 (i'm not sure on the Nitrite it had two different #'s for the same color).
Let me know how I am doing :? Like I said I'm probably moving too fast with it, help the newbie, please
Thanks, Rich
