Tested water parm today, did a water change yesterday. My salinity is 1.017… how can I raise that up? I don’t have any salt to mix.
On the other hand, my bubble tip is gaining color back!! You can see the green coming back. My Duncan is doing good. I added 2 new corals, Rasta Zoas and a Kenya tree. My mushrooms have been reproducing like crazy but all my corals except my gsp look to be doing just fine. My gsp hasn’t fully opened in a couple days, I’m assuming that’s because my salinity is low.
I have a couple types of algae coming back, brown/tan algae on the sand bed and my glass, then that green hair algae looking stuff is coming back too.
All fish seem to be doing fine.
Also what is correct sand depth currently it’s around an inch
This is my new setup 14 days in I’m trying to start new and get my tank back together! I still need to add the other rock structure, but any advice on starting a new setup with no fish yet would be greatly appreciated!
Any tips on how I could get my tank to looking like before I bought it. I’m six years old so I’m kind of new reefing but I understand all the basics. And pretty much everything there is to know. Just don’t know how to go about it.
Hi everyone, this is my tank which is 30x20x20 (excluding the water filtration system area, it is 20x20x20) and has 1 mini Blue Tang, 1 Mini clownfish and 1 cleaner shrimp. I am currently looking to clean my sand bed. Do you have any suggestions on how to clean the sand bed, using any method or using any creatures? Thank you very much everyone.
Is it too much ? Anyone have helpful tips or ideas?

Sandbed is finally clearing up. I’ve been dealing with an extremely dirty sandbed for many months. I added nassarius snails, 4 jars of copedpods, feeding phyto daily, and added AquaForest Life Source over. All with the goal of growing bio diversity in the tank and pretty happy with the progress so far.
Hello! I’m happy to have joined this community, this is my first tank so I’m looking forward to learn from those with more experience and wisdom than me. If you have any advice please share with me! Let me know how I did for my first NSA aquascape.
One question I have is, I used live sand and some live rock. I also dosed bacteria and ammonia. My most recent test is showing near 0 ammonia, 0nitrite and .2 nitrate. What does that say? Is my cycle complete? Thanks everyone!
This my reef tank updated, do you guys have any recommendations?
If I wanted to switch my substrate to crushed coral instead of sand how would I do so without messing stuff up? It’s just an idea I’m having but I’m 100% sure if I want to do that or not.
I really want to get rid of the circled rock and get some new rock for this side of the tank. Should I put new rock in the tank and let it build bacteria before taking out this rock? How would you go about it? I do have a pretty large sump the new rock could go in for now if that's recommended
Where should i put the wavemakerss? :/
