I'm just starting out in the world of saltwater reef tanks and was hoping fir a little advice. I currently have a 75gl tank with 30lbs of fiji LR, 40lbs of crashed coral and 40lbs LS for substrate. I have a 300ghp power head and a 150gph one with a amircale wet/dry filter. The tanks has been setup for about 3 weeks and all my levels are good except my nitrite which is at about 2.5. I was thinking about adding some more LR to the tank but wasn't sure if now was a good time. I curently have a 2 damsels 2 turbo snails and a horseshoe crab in the tank to get it cycling. I had a bunch of brown alge growth that is almost gone now. I guess my question is how much LR should there be, is there such a thing as to much and when/how should I introduce new LR? Thanks in adviance for any help you can offer this newbie.
