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.

My first tank and new to the community. Can’t wait to learn from everyone.
A good mantra for everyone who got their first tank for Christmas. Rushing to get too many fish doesn't allow your bacteria time to establish. Rushing to get corals before you've learned how to manage your water quality will cause coral problems. Rushing to buy loads of equipment means you might spend money you didn't need to or on gear that isn't right for you. Go slow, be patient, research, research research.
Hi everyone! Brand new here and brand new tank owner. This is our first ever tank and we are obsessed! We are open to any suggestions and advice.
Rating request: 0 to 10,how much do u guys would give to my poor aquarium?
This is my first saltwater it's a 10 gallon. I got it in July already set up. I lost my coral already as I'm new and learning. I added to my cleanup crew last month and now I'm debating if I should add coral or just keep it as is.Any ideas?
New to the hobby and just grabbed this app today! I’m still in the process of adding coral!
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?
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.
Hey everyone I am new to this hobby and I already love it. Any tips? those who have the Fluval Marine 13.5, what do you recommend i put in the chambers? I have a heater, and some ceramic jems but besides that everything else is stock. Any ideas?
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?
