1st Water Change

How are you mixing your new salt water for the WC?


After you mix it thoroughly, you need to let it sit for about a day to let it fully dissolve. If you mixed it and then put it in your tank, that could cause problems too.

 

whatever livestock i have left they are okay, the bottom line was that i didnt do the waterchange properly. thanks for your input

 

depends on how advanced you are.

My reef tanks that are well establish i dont even change the water. i add to it when it is low or when the water parameters get out of range.

For your tank, you want to change around 25% every 2 weeks. Remember to check your water parameters and make sure they are within norms and if not then do a water change.

To do a water change you want to start with freshwater, add your salt mix, allow it to mix, test with the hydrometer to make sure it is around 1.020-1.025 specific gravity or 33PPT. Then you might need to buffer it depending on the ph of your tap water.

Generally speaking you want to do weekly water changes on a FOWLR set up, but on a reef tank every 2 weeks. Once it is well establish then i just end up changing it once every 2 months to never. But it all depends on your level and the tank
