Aquarium Advice FINatic
Thanks! Im probably just going to add my fw sand into my other aquarium then. Im def taking my time, I am so pumped, but i feel like one mistake can ruin the whole thing.
That's why you gotta stay patient and keep an eye on your parameters. I check mine at least 5 days a week and check my SG every day. It's really your only way of knowing what's going on. I can just stare at my tank, I love it! I use the API SW and Reef Master test kits, but there's many options. There is a great Ipad App, "Aqua Planner." It's great, you can keep you measurments for multiple tanks, notes, equipment, set reminders, and it even does charts so you can see how your tank's doing over time. Instead of keeping a journal I use the app, very convenient. Get through your Nitrogen Cycle and don't be afraid to ask questions. Especially Convict, very knowledgable, and has been very helpful for me as well. Take your time, you'll be glad you did!
