Nice tank, welcome to the Solana club. What is your Alk level. Should be around 8-11ish.

is that a 10k bulb?

[slaychild]

Yes it is a 10k, but I will soon get my 20k. The alk is in mg/l, not in dKH. I think you multiply by 2.5, I believe. I'd have to look it up. But thanks guys for the comments.

Beautiful! What kind o sand are ya using?

[slaychild]

I forgot the name of the brand of san it is, but it was live sand. It said something about instant cycle on it.

[slaychild]

As of today my levels are still good.

 

Salinity - 1.025

Calcium - 430 mg/l

ALK - 11 dKH

PH - 8.2

 

SPS and clam is coming soon. Center chamber fuge is doing great. I also plan on moving the tank, because were it is at the ground is not level. So I will post pictures of the move also.

 

Thanks
