Taken the plunge

Its good to hear that it is coming too........once you have added your live rock, you will need to start doing water tests every day as you will have to do a nitrogen cycle so you will have to test for ammonia, nitrites and nitrate.

Did you use RO water as well this is a most as in the long run it will save you money when adding corals.

Sorry forgot to mention,I brought an ro filter before I got my tank,£48.00 with 2 spare cartridges,it`s pretty slow but ok for a nano,borrowed a TDS and tested the water,and it`s reading 0, so it works,
When I filled the tank I also put in some live sand [agralive caribsea fuji pink] left it for 4 days then tested for PH-8.2
I also tested for ammonia,nitrate,and nitrite,just in case the livesand had started a cycle, all read 0, but I didn`t really expect the sand to start the cycle.
Not many lfs around here so ,although I`d hope to, I might not get my liverock this weekend,and I might have to order it off the net.
