Default ?Confused w/Ca test results/additives for nano

HI all,

I am so confused.. maybe some of you can help.
I bought the Ca Profi Test for Calcuim by Salifert. I did the test BUT do not know how to read the syring or results. UGH! On the syringe the top of the black rubber stopper is in between the numbers 0.4 & 0.5 like shown in the pics..

shoot ? not showing up??




I have added pics for your review in case I dont explain correctly.
Also before I set pics. All the additives are for a min of 20 gallon tank. How do we know what to add to a 12G anao? the math doesnt add up

Thanks in advance, Kim

Hi guys again,

Also another Question. I got a piece of LR yesterday and It has 3 mushrooms attached to it and a tube worm? looks like a feather duster thing. SCORE! But I am cycling hope They dont die. =( Whatcha think? I dont expect a bad or long cycle as I started with LSB and about 25 lbs of LR.





Thanks, Kim

Ok, So now Im looking at my Reef Advantage Calcium also says maintains Magnesium and Strontium... says 1 level teaspoon per 40 gallons twice a week. have to dissolve it... SO i imagine thats 1 teaspoon of the powder in a cup of water then add to your 40 gallon tank. How do I measure for my 12 G nano?

sorry for dumb question BUT I have always had LARGE tanks.. My first nano.
