Thank you.. | No, no chemicals. You need to be testing; Magnesium, Calcium, Alkalinity and PH...Parameters for these are Calc = 380-480, Mag = 1180- 1450 and PH = 8.1-8.4, get all these in the ranges mentioned and figure out if you have to dose to maintain them.
Also, test now for; Ammonia, Nitrite, Nitrate and Phosphate. Ideally these should be 0 but in the beginning the Nitrate may run around 20 ppm.
