ok, alot of stuff I read on here said the light should not be on during cycling, but it didnt make sense to me, cause wouldnt the coraline need light to grow...anyway, I'll try to pick up some of the other test kits this week...oh I did use some kent marine nano reef buffer since the water was new, looks like it has salts of calcium, magnesium, potassium, strontium, rubidium, iron, zinc, manganese, nickle, coblat, cesium, chromium; followed the driections and its made specificly for nano reefs, since the water was new I thought adding the proper trace elements would be helpful, its also supposed to help keep the alkalinity correct, the PH was low at first so there is also some kent marine PH buffer which worked perfectly cause its right at 8.4 now |
