Yup agreed with above

Ammonia 0 nitrite 0 nitrate ideally 0 but generally under .25ppm. As far as trace elements any good reef salt and regular water changes will keep this in check. Also ro water is reccomended

Correct, really its about the more docile fish establishing a territory.

Ammonia spike is the most common and most lethal. I would wait a few weeks then test water. If all is ok slowly add fish. 1-2 a month. A qt is reccomended aswell

A 55 is too small for any tang. That said you added fish way to close together. My guess is you had a spike because of the bio load increase too fast

Agreed. Just top off with sw at your desired salinty

Very nice

Ha ha yes sir

Well its been quite lately with new additions. Until yest lol. I got a pair of diamond gobys, a yellow coris wrasse, ruby red scooter , and some striped trocounus snails.

No rinse, if you rinse those in fresh water you will have dead rock. Just put it in your premixed sw tank. If your not keeping it in sw now your "live" rock is slowly dieing aswell

Agreed

Wow, those are cooking. Nice

Carbon doesn't last long. Meaning its effectiveness. Chemipure is a carbon purigen mix

I get that. You can always buy slowly and build up. Good things come to those who wait

Great minds think alike. I didn't see your post before i posted lol

Welcome to sw. Do NOT use the crushed coral it sucks. Use the sand. Now the smaller you go the harder sw is, far less room for error. Your rock is fine, the easiest way to make it live again is too seed it with live rock. In your case some live rock rubble would probably work. If you look at...

Not a bad idea

Agreed with above. A drilled tank with plumbing is about double the cost of a standard. It saves alot of trouble tho

Hmm idk if in doubt best to not mix lol

Sapphire makes nice rimless tanks. Any size you want. If your already doing project work, a nice in set in a wall would look nice
