at this stage in your tank a good quality salt will go along way compared to dosing, get your parameters at the levels you want using water changes for now and do constant testing i bet they dont change much untill your tank becomes mature and loaded with corals.
its def a good idea to practise testing for all this though even if your not dosing now that ways it will help you understand what your tank needs and usue on a regular day basis
cheers and the tanks looking great did you get your sump fixed up?? |
yes i did but i still have to find a check valve that will fit my obscure pipe sizes, because i found out that if i have a power outage i will have 2-3 G of water on my floor...
