New to Canreef

Welcome!

There are two semi-local saltwater only LFS near you:

The Reef Shoppe in Lloydminster, AB
Bayside Corals in Saskatoon, SK

If you put live rock in your tank you won't need to use dirty water. Nitrifying bacteria cling to surfaces for the most part. Only a small amount will be in the water column. Live rock will cycle the tank all on its own accord without the need to add fish, fish food, or used water.

Btw, you should have an email from SaskReef regarding your signing in issues.
