| 02-12-2006 13:13 by trickatech |
i bought a biut of a skeleton tank and im in the process fo setting up as marine. at the minute i have got the tank sump filter media etc, skimmer , powerheads, ehiem pump 40 inch spray bar, heater. im buying a r/o unit tonight. i have got 2 t8's one acintic blue one white, and 4 t5's 2blue and 2 white. but what i wnat to know is as im still quite far off getting anything living in there.
what are your nitrate,nitrite ,amonia,ph temp etc sg levels and such on. id like to see what everyones setups are running at and take some advice form anyone whos got some going. i imagine a lot of the levels are dependant one what your keeping. i want a live rock and soft coral setup. i am planning on buying the salt next week as im bidding on a refractometer on ebay so was going to get that and the live sand underway and was hoping if all go's to plan to get 20 kilo of stm ultra grade by xmas or just after. any advice is more than appreciated as i want as much info as i can. thanks |
