thanks for the offer but i have a 150w coral life fixture, im just not setting it up till i get corals because of heat and energy.

 

[mako0321]

No problem

 

[blind1993]

tested the water yesterday.
pH 7.7-8
Ammonia- 0
Nitrite-0
Nitrate-0
no need to test calcium because i am using the aquavitro salinity.

I've seen your post in Rits sale thread and I don't think you're tank has yet to begin it's cycle. But, that's just my opinion. You may want to wait another week or two before adding any livestock.

 

[blind1993]

well i cant really add anything for two weeks anyways because im out of town.

 

[blind1993]

Nitrate- 0
KH- 9
Calcium- 460
phosphates- between .25 and .5

Looks good. Make sure that rock is far enough away from the glass to get a scruber in there...

Yes. Pics please! I'm waiting for all of my dust to get filtered out and then I'll post some pics of mine. I also completely redid my rockwork.

Got a large Clarki in there, getting the other one on sunday.

How did you mount the monti?

 

[blind1993]

i got it mounted on a frag plug and i kinda just set it on a rock.

 

[dubaygv]

Have you changed over from the stock filtration?

 

[blind1993]

i have a filter pad in the 2nd chamber(mainly to make the tank quieter) and underneath that i have a few pounds of live rock. I have an AquaC Remora hooked up to the 1st chamber that empties back into the tank.
