how do i get my Ph up?
i know water change with freshwater to lower salinity but idk how to raise ph

 

[dwilliams87]

I wouldn't worry to much about Ph until you're done cycling. It should come up on its own when the cycles complete.

You need a cheap API ammonia test kit from Petsmart or the like.

 

[kemper6120]

ok man i will get one man and check it tonight and let you know!

 

[kemper6120]

ok chris my ammonia is reading .25 ppm

 

[kemper6120]

Heres a few things i have acquired.. Mp 40, Reactor, and built me some screens for the top!

 

[bknapp]

Looking great Kayler! Clean set up. Get those screens from BRS?

 

[kemper6120]

Thanks! im trying to keep everything as clean as possible.. i still got to get LEDs and a controller(eventually) but its coming together alot better then i thought it would be! and yea mike gave me the clear screening that is from BRS and i bought the fram stuff from lowes. cost like 10 bucks to make. well worth the money since my last aquarium i had diamond goby jump :/

 

[Dowtish]

Ammonia should go up a bit higher, then you will see a nitrite spike, then nitrate.


Great job on the screens. You are way ahead of the game with all that good equipment. It took me over a year to have a decent skimmer, reactor and mp40's. Need to find a good 48" fixture now, and you will be good to go.

 

[Dowtish]

here is the best T5 fixture on the market for sale in Knoxville

Thanks man! i have just taken it slow "step by step" to get to where its at now. It always helps when your friends in MTRC hook you up with good stuff too!! for the lights im probably gonna go for some DIY LEDs and later on i might add a few t5s.

Made a small fish list last night. What do yall think?

Yellow tang, two clowns, three chromis, Anthias, diamond goby, and cleaner shrimp

CUC- astrea snails, hermits, maybe emerald crab.

for Corals im not sure exactly what im wanting yet but probably a little bit of everything

If you're not gonna use the chromis as the 1st fish in the tank you should get a nice wrasse instead.
