Hawkeye Posted February 19, 2003 Share Posted February 19, 2003 I just started the tank on Sunday morning. Got NO lighting, HOB for ciculation and cheap heater. Did water test this morning and it is as follows: PH-8.2, Nitrite-0, Nitrate-10, Ammonia-.5, salt-1.022 at 80-temp. and Nature's Ocean LS. Will be getting the LR in about two weeks.:woot: Link to comment
Hawkeye Posted February 19, 2003 Author Share Posted February 19, 2003 I forget to say tank cleared up in about 6-8 hours and have a very very thin layer of salt on the top of sand. Link to comment

Hawkeye Posted February 19, 2003 Author Share Posted February 19, 2003 It looks like a very thin off white layer on the top. Maybe just sand dust? Link to comment
Acoustic Posted February 19, 2003 Share Posted February 19, 2003 If it is salt you got problems. I hope for you that its sand. Link to comment
Hawkeye Posted February 19, 2003 Author Share Posted February 19, 2003 I had a pump on the water and salt for about 18-20 hours in a bucket before adding to the sand. So what will the problems be. Link to comment
PFB Posted February 19, 2003 Share Posted February 19, 2003 IO Salt wix mix up in about 5 minutes with a PH. (wouldn't use after 5 min., but its all gone). You must have sand-silt or something else. Link to comment
