New setup FOWLR - Detritus

[Funky_Fish14]

Realistically if your levels are 'stable' even after 2 weeks, those critters should have lived. Your temp being at 35 more than likely what killed them. Sorry to hear.

When no critters in the tank (just rock and sand), bringing the salinity up quickly should not be an issue.

Also, im with Beverly on the detritus... mid-cycle or not, detritus will break down, will settle into the substrate(mainly) and rock pores, hard to reach areas, etc.. The cleaner you keep it, the less nutrient build-up. Less nutrient build-up = less problems = happy reefer.

Cheers,

Chris
