Im Carlos im new to SDR well over im new to Saltwater/ Reef Tanks i have had a freshwater tank for years but decided to finally go saltwater and im in love with it! with a lil help from you guys i will get on the right path!
So i started my tank 1week ago last last Sunday the 30th with just water and saltmix, and added Natures Ocean live sand last Tuesday so will be a week tomorrow running the tank with sand. I just bought some live Fiji Rock on Saturday and put that in. oh by the way i have a 72gal bow front tank with a aquaticlife T5 6lamp fixture also have a 20 gal sump/refugium.
My fist question is how long do u think i need to let my tank cycle and when can i start putting in my fish and Corals?
I tested my water yesterday and My nitrite is 0 my nitrate is 0 my PH is 8.4 and my Ammonia is 0.
I hope to get lost of help new to this so any help and free stuff will be appreciated!
still looking for some free Cheato for my sump if anybody has some close to Oceanside.
Thanks from your new SDR buddy, Carlos Q
