Help! New to hoppy!
Salinity comes with the tank kit they bought. Ph isn't all that important to start.Add pH and a salinity checker.
I missed the refractometer. I can't imagine setting up a marine aquarium without knowing the pH.Salinity comes with the tank kit they bought. Ph isn't all that important to start.
Agreed. Not needed for new tank set up. Just sharing things to consider going forward.ATO is more important than a dosing pump IMO. Hand dosing and testing should be plenty sufficient on a new tank. This will also give a new reefer an opportunity to learn what is being dosed and get a feel for how things work without over complicating things. The automated stuff is really cool but can make a simple concept a bit more challenging to understand.
Also small mistakes can cause huge problems when it comes to automated dosers. I was recently reading on a thread of another reefer where he accidently set his doser to "on" rather than "run program" and this led to his dosing pump running all night, adding 1 liter of alk solution to his tank in just 7 hrs. These types of mistakes can happen too easily when things are too complicated too fast. Take it slow and add equipment only as needed.
