Well i started my marine tank maybe two weeks ago now!

Its got the coral sand,live rock, lots of lights t5s and few t8s.

Running my skimmer in the day, my xp3 filter is running...ect ect

got a 5mollys in there at the min and one hermit crab...

i also go a wet/dry filter on the way witch i will be getting soon and setting up soon!!


Just wondering is there anythink eles i can do/get to help it out? all my levers seem low and stayed low... but i really worrying about them going high nitrate and amionoer is ther any need of me getting a ... reactor sulphur one just incase it ever did rise this would be there to keep it stable?? or anythink that will be there to help???

been looking at somethink like this http/cgi.ebay.co.uk/Denitrator-Alk-Twin-...1QQcmdZViewItem ?? but to be honsted im not sure if it will help or not???

the first thing you should do is get yourself a real good clean up crew like 15 hermits and 20 or so snails

Make sure you feed the feather duster at least twice a week.
