Hello guys !! My name is Ricardo. I’m from Cancun Mexico and I just started my firsta saltwater tank. I’ve had fish tanks before but never saltwater. My dad used to have 2 at a time and really loved them so I grew up with fish, we always wanted to do a saltwater tank but back in the day there was no info on it, even the only fish store that used to be in cancun didn’t have any saltwater fish or products.
I started a 10g nano tank and in really happy and obsessed with it ! Already Plan on getting a 40g tank on March. But I would like to get ny 10g as mature as possible. All tips are welcome.
Parameters are stable my alk is just a bit high on 11.7, and I haven’t really tested for phosphates, the only thing I have trouble is with temperature since I don’t have a chiller and my tunze cooling fan does all the work. But tank swings a lot from 77 to 79 degrees. My future 50g is definitely getting one.
thanks a lot guys and happy reefing! One day in and already loving the forum. Sorry bout bad quality photos I’m getting a filter for my camera as well.
