Default Thanks a lot Janet!

I went to OA today for the first time. my main reason was to buy some liverock to stock my new aquapod with. i was in contact with wendell during the week and got out there today. Janet was there and took a lot of time and effort to talk to me about different saltwater things and helped me choose pieces of jakarta liverock. Unfortunately i set off the newbie alarm when i got in there.lol

the liverock is great! LOTS of colour and life on it. ill definitely be going back there regularly, even though it's a 1 hour drive to get there from my house.

Welcome to the club!
make shure you are doing your water changes very friquently (with RO/DI) in the first month, start removing your PO4 from day one and run a good clean skimmer cup/neck if you want to keep all that life on the rocks.

well i seem to clean my skimmer cup out daily, even though there might not be a tonne of gunk in there. i clean it out anyways.lol. then scrub the heck out of it and the neck.

apart from the daily freshwater topoffs, ive probably done the equivalent of a 10-20% water change. but the tank hasnt been up for too long. the water parameters seem good now as well (90+% of the LR was fully cured). ammonia has gone away. nitrite 0, ammonia 0, and nitrate is .2 to .8...

im adding chaeto today, and possibly a small frag of something.
