Well its been almost a month since I got started and since this is a tank journal I decided to add an update.
The tank looks to be at the end of the cycle on Friday my levels were.
Nitrate-7
Nitrite-0
Ammonia-0
So I picked up some wee beasties.
4 algae craps
3 Turbo Sails
3 Trochus Snail
3 Nassarius Snail, one seems to be missing in action?
Got a couple of mushrooms from Red Coral and they are really enjoying there new home.
Did a 10% water change this morning, cleaned my filter stuff.
I then did some more water tests some stuff has gone up today but I think that its just doing its thing
Nitrate-5-10
Nitrite-0
Ammonia-.25
Calcium-430
Phosphate-2-5
Carbonate-12+ I think
PH-8.2
Some of the numbers are high Phosphate and Carbonate I assume they are high due to it being a new tank.
Here are a few photos.
