I just went from fresh to salt water in my 20 gallon long tank.
i am doing as much reading as i can but still in the gray area on a few things, i figured what better way to learn more than to start my own thread and get everyones opinion.
my filters were used in my last freshwater set up, they still have the build up on the actual filter pad.
my set up right now:
-20L
- T8 17w reef sun 50/50
- (2) Aqueon power filter 10 ( 100GPH each)
- air stone
- bio cube 14-29 protein skimmer
- 1 bag - bio active live aragonite
- medium live rock
- 100w heater ( temp at 77F)
PH is 7.8ish
1.022 salinity
Nitrate - 20ppm
Nitrite - 0ppm
Alkalinity - 300ish
i am using de-chlorinated tap water ( Instant Ocean reef conditioner)
also added Instant Ocean calcium booster
currently have 2 white/black mollys and 2 turbo snails in the tank
let me know how i am doing, ill tell you guys my future stocking plans later ( start with the basics now)
