    First try at saltwater

    Got my LEDs hung (they are now turned back off). Had to angle them a bit. The joys of a small house. So the shrimp I put in didn't really dissolve as much as it shredded into tiny pieces that are now floating around clouding the tank. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

    Those are nice. Does the importance of the elements being in a reef tank warrant that kind of price? Or is it just ease of use? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

    Bribo in your opinion Salifert > Red Sea as a reef tester & keep the API for the basics? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

    I've read good things about Salifert, but man they're pricey. Me: "Happy Valentines Day. I got you a $100 worth of water test kits." Wife: "..." Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

    Thanks BG. I installed the lite version. Looks like it will be pretty helpful until I can get into the habit of doing all the tests & water changes. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

    Thanks y'all. Gonna grab an API kit for the basics & probably Red Sea later. I like the spreadsheet idea Tree. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

    Thanks. Threw a shrimp in. Ready to get this party started. What test kits should I get? Hear so many complaints about API. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

    Oh yeah Bribo, going with the clear netting. I don't want a "Suicide Squad". By the way, your tank is a bit of an inspiration. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

    I like the Diamond Watchman, but 1) is my tank large enough for one? 2) Will it throw sand all over my eventual coral? Would like for the third fish to have a big personality or do something unique, like sift, to hold my daughters interest so this could become "our" hobby. Sent from my iPhone...
