The tank being cycled is important.

 

[Brittany8808]

Ok. Did the pet store test to be sure your tank was cycled first? Or did you?

I did and everything was perfect I also get this water from Petco that comes in a big box it's already filtered And Stuff salt is in it and everything

 

[Katrina71]

So 0 ammonia? Right?

 

[Brittany8808]

So 0 ammonia? Right?

Yeah no ammonia at all

 

[Katrina71]

You might get a slight bit of ammonia from die off on the live rock.

That's fine right and normal

 

[Katrina71]

Water change will take care of that.

 

[Katrina71]

Did you add any bottled bacteria like Dr Tims or Biospira?

 

[sfin52]

you bought natural sea water. How have you been toping off your tank?

 

[Katrina71]

Ideally, you need 14 lbs of LIVE rock in that tank. Some will argue less is fine.

I just did One The Morning Took 20% out and dumped more from the stuff I get in a box in there and she started perking up and with all of Your Guys Help Also helped out alot

What you mean topping off?.

 

[Katrina71]

Topping off is adding Non salted water back in to make the same water volume you started with after evaporation. (If you didn't know)

 

[Katrina71]

You may not get much evaporation in that tank with the hood kept closed btw.

No I added more from the salted one I have like 3 boxes so I put that same water in from the box back in

So should I keep the little lid open?

 

[Katrina71]

I would expect roughly 1/4 cup every 2 days

So should I keep the little lid open?

No!!!!

what's your salinity at 1.023-1.026 is where you should be at.
