Hi guys, I’m new to reefing and I’m very excited to get started. I’ve been watching lots of videos and talking to many experienced reefers to get all the knowledge I can. One thing I’ve learned fast, is that everyone has their own way, which can be a little frustrating when being new to the Hobby. I also wished I talked to everyone before diving in head first. I’ve had my tank for exactly 1 week and I already want a bigger tank bc of all the fish I want and can’t have bc of the size of my tank. 1st rookie mistake, not going bigger the first time around... oh well, this 60 gal will become either my sick tank or my holding tank... Lol.
Haha its an itch. I have a 250 gallon 8ft now. Already thinking Im going bigger. Wouldn't mind closer to 400 gallon.That’s funny... After going to ever saltwater fish store within a 100 mile radius, I want a 220 gal...

Ok guys I need some advice ....
let me start out by saying, i set up my new tank on the July 11th and started adding fish 3 days later. Today make 15 days into the tank process. And my son in law came over to test my water and all my levels are through the roof.
Ammonia 0.25
Nitrite 0.5
Nitrate 100
I asked if I should do a water change and I was told not to, to let my tank cycle, that this was normal and that I should not of even let him test the water before 6 weeks... any advice.
Btw, all the fish look great and are eating fine, swimming around good. However I am starting to get what looks like Light brown algae on 1 of my rocks, other than that everything else looks great.
Yes I did. Or at least that is what I was told... the rocks were sitting in tanks with fish and were being treated with addition bacteria. The fish in the rocks were not for sale but was told it was live rockI would personally waited at least a month to add any fish. At 3 days, your tank has not cycled. Did you use live rock or dry rock?
