![]() Our tank has had salt in it now for 2 weeks and the sand cloud from Thursday night has cleared. All params are stable and very close to what I'd like to see
79.9 - 80.3 F pH 8.13 Silicates 0 Copper 0 NH3 0 NO2 0 NO3 0 PO4 0 KH 9 Ca 460 Mg 1350 Sg 1.026 So now I have a decision to make; 1 - Start off with some easy softies and feed them to seed the tank ( plus QT some fish ) or ... 2 - QT a fish or 2 and start seeding the tank with them next month Choice 1 is obviously the more costly risk, but will give fish something to come home to Choice 2 will probably seed more readily and be less risky for this beginner, but then I'll have to wait for a QT cycle before adding anything to the DT In the meantime I have a big ball of chaeto in it's tank and I'm getting some small branching algae on the LR and a hi flow area of glass If I add any kind of CUC right now, it would be just a snail or 2 as I wouldn't want them to starve So, what are your thoughts ? Thanks for your input |
