Hey guys, im a month in with my first nano (80l) and hitting a bit of trouble which id love some advice on.
Currently no fish, but added 4 trochus snails 10 days ago to start getting some life in there once cycle was complete.
My LFS recommended adding 2 bags of copepods and 2ml of phytoplankton once a week whilst we don't have fish to (i think) speed up algae growth.
For the last 5/6 days the water has looked a bit cloudy and nitrates have dropped from 18 to around 2 or 3. Chat GPT is saying it could be a bacterial bloom.

Realy want to get into saltwater keeping but I’m scared😆. Do you guys think a 25 gallon tank with corals only is a good start?
Tank is almost 1 yr old and have yet to do an ICP test, looking for recommendations on ICP tests and where to buy it
Hi guys, I’ve been keeping betas, multiple community fish, and stuff like that for a few years now and I’ve been wanting a salt water tank for a while. Would a dwarf seahorse be a good place to start? I currently have a 29 gallon tank that is freshwater and empty 3 gallon tank but I’ve been saving up too do something with saltwater tanks so I could buy a new one.
Should I start a community saltwater tank or just keep a few dwarf seahorse?? Pls lmk everything possible
I’m new to reefing, I’ve had my 20 gallon fish tank for a couple months now. I want to add more things to it but I don’t know what I can put in there. Any help?
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!
Any suggestions for getting new fish to understand its feeding time? This is my first saltwater tank, and my largest tank, so I am used to fresh water greedy fish who smell food and go crazy.
Is there any routine or tips that work for you?
I'm setting up a new 30 gallon fish and reef tank. Would like to know where you recommend purchasing my first fish from, probably a website. I plan to wait a few months to add Coral.
Just set up my 15 gallon salt water tank! How long should I wait until I put fish in?
First saltwater aquarium any thoughts or suggestions
What is your cleaning routine on your reef tank? I was just wondering because I think it is an important thing to think about or reef tanks and what keep them running. Here is a video below of my cleaning routine.
