Hello all,
So after 12 years off the salt water time to be back in.
With small challenge 30 litter that I can guess in few months will increase minimum to 45 litter.
So I decide I want to be back to salt water after 12 years. During those time I was on and off in fresh water and currently have 2* 30 litter shrimps
In the last few month my son is 1.8 year interesting fished so I found the opportunity to make some Change and
I decided to close one of them and change it to nano reef with:
2 clown fish
1 gubi
And very small cleaning crew like: 1 tiger, 1 conche and 1 hermit crab.
I hope I can find those somewhere around me.
Basically I started with 27 litter cube 30/30/30.
Haime filter
Skimmer bubble magos bmqq1
Spectra Night light v2 light.
3 kg dry stone
3 kg live sand.
In the first day I take water from some reef guy near me and also old sponge from his reef and start the cycle.
I decide to add slice of chicken to start the cycle and add ammonia.
I leave the chicken part for 2 days. I guess too much time.
Today I bought Red Sea master kit to start checking the water parameter and found that the ammonia very high more then 2ppm.
I decide to add live rock like 1.5kg to help the cycle.
And also bought Red Sea mature kit to get beneficial bacteria to the reef.
I add the Red Sea bacteria like it’s the first day today.
How do you think I need to continue.
At the moment the water very cloudy I guess from bacteria blooming and also smell not the best.
The skimmer will add and will start tomorrow or in the next day when it’s arrive. I think it’s could help to add more air to the water
