How much score do u guys give for my reef tank in a 100 score?
Equipment:
BOYU WG-310 (impeller modified for better airflow) (protein skimmer)
Aquael FZN PRO 700
Yee submersible pump (1000L/H) (used as wave maker)
18w reef light + 5.2w yikeda reef light
Some random desk fan modified as cooler
2in1 thermometer+salinity meter
Fish and coral inside:
Favia
Mushroom
Damselfish
Ocellaris clownfish ×2
Thickness of the sand
1~5cm
Salt used: Vastocean basic ocean sea salt
Salt parameter:
CA~ 400-450MG/L
MG~ 1250-1350MG/L
KH~ 7-9 d°KH
(The rest.. Idk)

Water box 100.3
Can you add salt directly out of the bag to your tank?
I HAVE FIXED MY PARAMETERS ISSUES, i got it checked at my LFS today and it was… not great to say the least, so i did a massive water change and checked it with the new gear i bought and i fixed atleast what i could check
PH: 8.0
Salinity: 1.025
nirate: 0
thats all the parameters i checked so far because everything else was either untestable at home at the moment for was good enough
i should be able to actually start having some animals in the tank soon
probably next sunday i will buy some hermit crabs and emerald crabs, but im not sure
Love spending almost $70 in salt for this to happen
IS A GLASS HYDROMETER ACCURATE
I've been using mine for a year and a half
I was looking to get the Tropic Marin High Precision Hydrometer.
Struggling with something, doing 25% water changes every week nite phos ammo all 0 ph 8.2 salinity 37.5 I get this in less than 3 days
What salt brand do you guys recommend? My LFS gave me 10 gallons when I first started my tank and the levels were way off
Totally new to this, so a little confused: I came home after three days and my water level was down. I checked salinity and it had increased to 38 (from 35), so I added 2/3 gallon (3L) of RODI and the salinity didn't go down! What did I do wrong?
Question, I’m a beginner and don’t have a RO/DI machine yet. What should I top off my saltwater aquarium with water that has evaporated? Treated water where I add some drops of water conditioner or distilled water?
Did a WC yesterday, was using coral pro salt transitioned to NYOs Pure, love how it mixes fast and ready, don’t even have to wait and let it mature!! Hopefully corals will love the pharmaceutical elements they put! Got a good batch too let’s see how things progresses!
My 20 gallon salt water tank that I just set up about a week ago has a salinity of 1.010 right now, how much water would you recommend to change out to get a reading of 1.020 salinity? I only have a fire shrimp in the tank and two bleu legged hermits.
