Aquarium Advice Regular
I have tested my water at the lfs and they say I had 0 ammonia/nitrites, but I did not trust them after reading many posts here.
My readings are: (these were from a test strip. )
nitrates 80
nitrites 0
PH 8.2
KH 180
GH 60
I assume I should do another PWC of about 25g this week.
I have used tap water to make my salt water for the first PWC. Could this be why my nitrates are so high?
Also I have minimal algae growth on all the rock.
I purchased tank and occumpants and about a month ago.
Durning move we saved 70G+ of the original water (made the other 50 with tap and instant ocean), all fish, inverts, and the LR and LS (Crushed coral). Do I need to vac the crushed coral ?
Inherited Tank Family:
Thanks I think I have.
Over protective father syndrom? Any advice at all is greatly appreciated.
