Hi all. Just wanted to check in. Had fresh water all my life. First time trying with salt. 70 gallons. 45 lbs live rock. Fluval . Still cycling only 3 weeks old. Did get brown and water looked discolored for bout 5 days. Looks a little clearer this morning. Diatomes?

Not much. I’m willing to adjust my routine

Not at all. Feeding demands don’t limit my stocking choices

I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!
