I think I was letting the analytical chemist in me get the better of me.

when I gave a value of <0.25ppm I ment the concentration of nitrate and ammonia was less that the kit I have can dectect.

as for density the meter I used will give a reliable reading for salt water.

pH I will be rechecking.

Hi

Just wanted to thank you for your help, did a partial water change at the weekend. The water quality is looking good, and I have identified my other fish as a sergeant major damselfish, which is great as they sound like a good chose for the beginner. Marine isn't as scary as I first thought.

Saltwater tanks aren't as scary as everyone claims. The key is to check your water parameters regularly and perform maintenance when needed.

This forum is very good to ask for advice, everyone will chip in and help.
