![]() How old is your tank?
What is in it (fish/corals)? What are your ammonia levels? Nitrate? Are you running carbon?

![]() Start running some carbon and do a 10 or 20% water change to start. Match temperature and salinity. Do this every week or every 2 weeks (I do 10% weekly on my tank).
Imagine living in a small space with 5 other people and never opening a window. Thats been their life for the last 6 months. They'd probly like a breath of fresh water ![]()

![]() No need to prime it if you are using RODI water (which you should be). Match the salinity to your tank ( 1.025) and temp too.

![]() you bet. Usually what I do is make up the water the night before. Have a heater in there and a power head as well. Get the temp etc the same as your display tank and then the next day you're good to go.
