My New Nano Tank Journal - 20 Gallons Long Tank

[MCC]

Fixed my lighting issue last night... took some extra background paper...cut it up..and taped it to the refugium wall.... problem fixed

Today tested my water...

pH: 8.2
Ammonia: 0.00 ppm
Nitrite: 0.00 ppm
Nitrate: 0.00 ppm
KH: ~125-130 mg/L
Ca: ~ 460 mg/L

I guess the KH and Ca is a little bit high?? But then there is nothing in the tank to change the chemistry of the tank...so I guess this is okie??? Once more inhabitants are in the tank... the numbers should drop slowly... and then I will need to start dosing...

Did a 20% water change afterwards.... added some Kent Pro d Buffer + Seachem Prime Conditioner....

Salinity reading is at 1.024-1.025 .....

So far so good.... I plan to add a fish next week... but now I will give it a few more days to stablize some more
