Hello, I just started my fist tank a few days ago. It is a 32 gallon Fluval all in one tank. I used live rocks, wet sand, got my water from the aquarium store, and used FritzZyme Turbo Start Saltwater 900. I am maintaing the water temp at 79F. I added my first two clown fish yesterday and so far it is going well. I am currently monitoring Ammonia, Nitrate, and Nitrite levels to track the first cycle. I am looking forward to learning more and hopefully building a beautiful reef. I would appreciate any advise that can be offered. Thanks!
Update #1 (8/23/2023)- My tank has been going well. I believe I am starting to get some diatoms in the bottom of my tank. On the 20th I added a couple of turbo snails and a cleaner shrimp after talking to my local fish store. They tested my water and told my first cycle completed. I have been tracking the results of my tests in excel to try to better visualize what is going on.
