| Re: these are my levels, what would you put in first? Hi Mike Those numbers are looking sweet for now. May want to raise Salinity up when you get some corals in the tank but for now it's fine. Do you have a calcium test?

| Re: these are my levels, what would you put in first? no calcium test, forgot to mention that started tank with tap water, but have been adding RO/DI water since my RO/DI unit arrived this week, so I have been using that to replace water that evaporated |

| Re: these are my levels, what would you put in first? You may want consider doing a major water change over several days to deplete your tank of the tap water. You will need a calcium test if you plan to keep corals.

| Re: these are my levels, what would you put in first? Start testing for calcium right away and add as necessary if you want to have a healthy growth or coraline algae. It needs calcium too. |
