So I am new to the salt water aquariums, actually aquariums in general. I have done a lot of research and am buying either a 55g tank and stand for $100 or a 72g bow front tank and stand with a refugium filter/skimmer that was recently used for a SW reef and fish tank. Most likely the 72G....


ANYWAYS... I would love some suggestions for coral/reef creatures. I am going for the Jaubert method.

Thanks ahead of time.

Well Saturday I got the tank setup. 80lbs of sand 20 of those were live sand, I then got 45 lbs of base rock and 15 lbs of live rock in there. (I know I need more)

Levels as of today are
Ph 8.0
Ammonia 0.25
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 0
Salinity 1.020

Ph needs to be raised a little so does salinity.

The water is not all the way full... I am using instant ocean reef crystals. Should I just add a cup then test, add a cup then test to raise the salinity?
