Hi Everyone,
I'm super excited to say I've set up my first ever saltwater aquarium. I bought it over the weekend, 300 ltr (and maybe 30ltr sump) Aqua one (second hand). It was already established with a selection of corals, rocks, a porcupine puffer, blue chromis, several blue legged hermit crabs, a few snails, one starfish, and a lot of Aiptasia
I had to transfer everything to my home and set it all up last night. Corals are opening and seem OK, puffer has ich I think, and after testing, my ammonia and nitrate levels are high!
A lot to try and tackle for a beginner! I changed 50 litrs sw after the move. Kept original sand and most water.
Not sure what I should prioritise first! Ammonia I guess?
