Hi everyone,
so am new to saltwater and am a couple days into my fishless cycle, using dr Tim’s and adding ammonium.
Day 5 today
Ph 8.2
Ammonia 0.8 ppm
Nitrate 0.01 ppm
should I be testing anything else at the minute.
My Red Sea care recipe for perimeters are.
Salinity 35ppm
Calcium 430
Magnesium 1280 ppm
Alkalinity 8 dkh
Nitrate 0.5 ppm
Phosphate 0.02 ppm
I looking at picking up Hanna checkers for these and using Red Sea products to try and maintain these perimeters.
When should I start testing for these and trying to reach these levels?
should I get the LR or HR nitrate checker?
am looking to add a couple clown fish once cycle is sorted and can add them in.
Thanks.
