Hey folks im new to saltwater after having freshwater for quite some time. I have 29 gallon with 25lbs of live rock about 2in sand bed and two powerheads. I also have a aquaclear 50 hob that I was planning on using to run chemical filtration so I dont have to buy a reactor of any sort. I also have 1 aquatic life dual lamp t-5 ho fixture with one actinic and one 10000k bulb, I will be getting another soon. The tank has been running for 5 weeks now everything is zero except trace amounts of nitrate. I am using kent marine reef salt and my salinity is 1.026 temp 79 and constant my ph is 8.0 I will need to use a buffer to get it up a little more. And yes I did use rodi water not tap. I just added one ocellaris and some radioactive zoas a week ago, parameters did not change I added a firefish yesterday and so far all seems to be well. I am going to add another ocellaris in two weeks or so if everything keeps going well. I do want to keep some softies and later on some lps corals.
