  1. Temp 78 (shooting for closer to 79/80)Salinity 1.0245Ammonia 0Nitrite 0Nitrate 2ppmpH 8dKH 8.5PO 0Calcium 460(Tested w raw shrimp piece still in tank)Tanks been up and running for 6 days and have been ghost feeding for 4, and also added a bottle of Fritz 9. only thing sticking out is the low nitrates , which makes sense considering the low bio load. pH of 8 may be a bit low, any thoughts on this and if I should be doing anything to raise it ? Using Fritz reef pro mix.I could be wrong but I think I mostly skipped a substantial cycle since I started w live sand, aquacultured Life rock (sitting in lfs tank with other rocks and a couple fish) and also seeded my tank with sediment and LR rubble from established tank...don't shoot me but I'm debating adding a tailspot blenny this weekend to continue building the bacteria population. Thoughts ?Thanks for checking in!!
  2. Whatsup Austin reeflings. Excited to be back in the hobby after 9 years! Got my tank set up last Friday, waiting is the worst! Waiting for my Redsea test kit to hopefully arrive today so I can see where I'm at w parameters. Went w 20 lbs live sand, 28 lbs of aquacultured caribsea from aquatek, another probably 5 lbs of coral /rock from Hawaii (had it for years ) and seeded with some LR rubble from one of our very kind admins!! Added a bottle of Fritz 9 and have been ghost feeding. Have another Sine SLW10 arriving shortly and will likely be replacing the stock return pump. Still need to get my XR15 programmed and planning on renting a PAR meter....other than that just playing the waiting game, can't wait to have some life in there!!!
  3. Yes I live on menchaca south of slaughter. Tank shows up tomorrow I think I'll be ready to get the tank wet Thursday or Friday!
  4. Whatsup Austin!! My waterbox MP25 comes in this week and am just wondering if anyone has any media or small amount of live sand/rock from a healthy tank you would be willing to spare. Have no problem throw ing you some cash either just want to get this cycle kick started! Beyone pumped to be back in the hobby after 8 years
  5. Super dope! Do you have any of these left??
