Re: Just another noob =)
Ok. So I filled the tank 1.023 sg and added 30 lbs of Caribsea Arag-Alive Special Grade Reef Sand and 10 lbs of alor live rock. The water hasn't really started doing anything yet. Ammonia, nitrate and nitrite are all still 0. The Ph is a little low. between 7.8 and 8. Should I be doing anything other than waiting and how do you guys regulate the ph? I've read different things but was just curious what you guys do. Also i put a small piece of fresh fish in there. Not sure if it did anything or if I should put more in there. I read somewhere that putting (dead) fresh shrimp or fish in the tank will help start the cycle. Btw, I just did it last Tues/ Wed. 4.5 days ago.
