hoodle Posted May 15, 2018 I don't have a refractometer and I promised my parents that it would be ''low budget''. The prize for the longest lasting ecosphere is $50, but I've already spent more than that. I have been using freshwater copepods in the jar because I have them handy and they just get snatched up instantly anyway I followed the instructions on the salt package Quote Link to comment

hoodle Posted May 16, 2018 Ok. Will do. I think the larger nem is toast, but I think I might be able to save the smaller one. I have added some algae in the tank (dunaliella and platymonas). I'll try the meat thing. Is a refractometer necessary right now? Or can I just mix salt with the instructions on the box? Quote Link to comment
hoodle Posted May 16, 2018 Eventually I'll be getting a larger jar w/ live sand Quote Link to comment

ihglifelol Posted May 17, 2018 not a bad ecosphere for a starter, maybe a bubbler in that tank. maybe some macro algae? Quote Link to comment
ihglifelol Posted May 17, 2018 if you want some fun, get some aquaculture live rock and search for hitchikers, 1 pound of that got me tons of pods, some peanut worms, sponges (probly wouldnt recomend), cupcoral (requirements ike aiptasia), baby gorilla crab. maybe buy some and search for some hitchikers Quote Link to comment
