Zehn Tage in meinem ersten Salzwasserbecken und total überfordert von so viel, was ich lernen muss. Schaue brsTV wie verrückt. Ich habe Livesand, 1/2 Lebendgestein & 1/2 totes Gestein, smart cycle und PNS Deep Cycle verwendet. Mein Ammoniak war gestern bei null, aber meine Nitrite und Nitrate sind immer noch hoch. Ich würde am liebsten sofort Fische einsetzen, aber ich will es richtig machen. Ich bin auch gerade dabei, ein 10 gal. Quarantänebecken einzurichten.
Ten days into my first saltwater tank and overwhelmed with so much to learn. Watching brsTV like crazy. I did live sand, 1/2 live rock & 1/2 dry, smart cycle and PNS Deep Cycle. My ammonia hit zero yesterday but my Nitrites and Nitrates are still high. Itching to put fish in but I want to do it right. I’m also in the process of setting up a 10 gal. quarantine tank.

Something I’ve learned: buy aquacultured (not wild caught) fish. They do far better in these small tanks! Most clownfish are aquacultured but there are a ton of cool fish as well. Less risky and mor sustainable IMO
That’s my plan! 😊 I want to do a pair of clowns and maybe a goby. Then pretty much all softies with the exception of a torch or hammer or both. I want it to be as easy and as positive of an experience as possible!

I was itching to put fish in my saltwater tank when I first started it but patience is key to a thriving ecosystem

Welcome to the hobby! I know how stressful the first few weeks can be and the information overload is real. Typically Ammonia and Nitrite should be 0, and nitrate should be detectable once the cycle is done. Once your over the cycling and quarantining hurdles- it’s mostly smooth sailing from there.
Thank you!!! 😊
