Day 12 of my tanks cycle,did my 1st wc (25%) yesterday because I had a TON of stuff from the LR fall off and allready had a bunch of slime algea-thought it would be a good idea. Decided I would test with 3 diffrent kits just to be sure, then figured I would share the info. I am color blind so...

I thought you said you had low salinity, my bad, just keep an eye on everything cross your fingers and stuff and it should all go well im still a newb too, did you use any cycling products like cycle or nitromax? Iv heard nitromax is good when adding fish, if you plan on doing it soon you might...

disaster awaits---and Really hold on the madarin, they are picky feeders from what ive heard and will die if not in a FULLY established reef tank. By fully I mean like a year or older. I hope you plan to VERY gradually raise your salinity, dont just throw salt in the tank. And hook up that P...
