Afternoon all. Brand new to saltwater aquariums. Just a general question about water changes. I have a Fluval evo 13.5 setup. Live rock, live sand, some media from the setup the rock was in.
2 baby clown fish, 2 x hermits, 1 turbo snail. Ran with those for a couple of weeks, now i have 2 small torch corals and a zoa frag.
Absolutely loving it so far. Obsessed with it.
Peramiters are-
Salinity 35 / 1.026
phosp 0
ammonia 0
nitrite 0
nitrate 0
Kh ak 9.3
mg 1290
calc 400
ph 8.4 ish dark green on the salifurt kit.
running floss in the 3d printed cage in section one, section 2 has the standard carbon and ceramic bio with a bag of bioballs under that.
The question…… Should i water change every week even if everything is running ok? Im trying to get my nitrates up a bit for the torch corals. Also im trying to settle them in for as long as possible before messing with the tank. Been adding 2ml of ready to reef every 4 days for a month.
any opinions and input more than welcome at this stage still watching videos and reading every day.
