Hi everyone... somewhat freshly cycled 13.5 gallon nano... clownfish, six line wrasse, few members of a clean-up crew.
Temp-79
Salinity-1.025
PH-7.8
Ammonia-0
Nitrite-0
Nitrate->20
Calcium a little high at 480
Alkalinity was low (7.9), dosed ALK over a few days, now at 10.
I test in the early afternoon and am finding my PH at 7.8... I tested some saltwater I had mixed up in the basement, which tested at 8.2.
I've read a lot about windows, oxygen and not chasing PH. My tank is in my living room with four windows... I'm in Vermont, so clearly doors and windows are closed. I have two small power heads and the tank pump had two head, both pointed a the surface for agitation - no skimmer.
I'm planning to add one more fish and a shrimp before the corals.
Anything to be concerned about here?
Thanks.
