Hey this is my first time on this site. I was shown this by a friend, and i wanted some advice on my tank. It has been up for around a month plus, and the salinity and the tank has perfect pH, Alkalinity Nitrates, and Nitrites. Everything except for Phosphates. I have no way measure them, so i dont know how they are. I have around 3.5 Pounds of LR, 2 small Hermit Crabs, a snail and peppermint shrimp. I also recently bought a small Xenia, and it is doing fine. I'm buying an AC70 soon t make a fugee, and getting a coralife 12in 36W 50/50. I'm just looking for a good Phosphate tester, and some good hardy corals. Thanks.

API has two different kits. one i think checks phosphates, but not %100. sounds like a great start.

Just don't use tap water. That should help with phosphates a good deal.
