    Help with a 90 gallon upgrade

    How big is this card bc a few of your fish will take it as a meal. The ph is intresting, i never check mine mind you but if your salt is the same your ph should be an issue.

    Help with a 90 gallon upgrade

    Yes you can add some rock from the existing tank. Now your saying your ammonia is high? Thats good but dont add any fish until its finished cycling. How many fish are u transferring?

    Agreed. Honestly the clowns are damsels. You also run the risk of adding disease to the tank

    I use red sea. It just seems cleaner to me. After its mixed i don't get the residue i would with instant. That said my fish did fine with instant. Nems need high end lights. If its something you really want, look into kessil leds. There not cheap but very good

    Gearing up for the saltwater world FOWLR plans

    Agreed with above. Avoid coralife products. There not made anymore its all over stock. You don't need a skimmer for fowlr. None of my tanks have one. I am looking at one now tho bc i upgraded a tank and may try coral.

    Really u don't want to disturb the sand. Sw and fw tanks are totally different. Generally in sw if you have high nitrates its not terribly hard to fix. Macro alage will feed off your nitrates. Remove "trim" your macro and u in turn remove nitrates. When using r o water its pure water. Sand...

    Fill it get your salinity on point. Add your sand and live rock. Then add a raw cocktail shrimp. Leave in about 24hrs, this will start the cycle then ghost feed to maintain it

    Try a hob filter instead of a canister. Skimmer isn't needed if you just want fowlr. You will need a good heater. I suggest a refractometer over a hydrometer. Also sand over crushed coral.
