First Steps
Hi Everyone , I am a new member and New Reefer .
This is my Dymax Iq5 Pico Reef . I am taking things very slowly and Learning lots as i go .
I Started the tank with a 2 month "cycle" to make sure everything had time to settle .
At the End of the 2 month cycle my readings were 25c temp ,specific gravity 1.023, PH 8.0, NH3 0.00, NO2 0.00 ,NO3 0.00 ,PO4 0.25 ,CA140 .
I have added Phosguard to bring the PO4 reading down and started to add CUC and Zoa`s and GSP .
Unfortunately the GSP and smallest Zoa cluster had a nightmare trip to get to me after the guaranteed overnight delivery took 5 days to get to me . They have been in the tank for 8 days now and still haven`t opened yet but i am going to be patient and give them as much time as possible .
My CUC consists of 1 Turbo ,1 Strombus and 1 Black Turbo Snail . I don`t plan on adding any fish .
Cheer , James
