Josh's 12 Gallon Rebirth


Recommended Posts

Hey guys! My wife gave me the green light to set up another tank! 😬

 

It's my very first saltwater tank from back in 2007! a JBJ 12 gallon nano cube!

 

I decided to go with black sand this time and I purchased my first LED light fixture! A Kessil A80 - I am loving it for the whole hour it's been on! Haha

 

Just received my sand, light and a few other goodies today. Water went in within the past hour.

 

Very anxious to get the ball rolling on this one! 😁

The hydor-flo is blowing the sand in the front corner on top of the rock I have.. not sure what to do about that now.

 

I put a bottle of Bio-Spira in last night -

 

Salinity - 1.024

Calcium - 540

Nitrites - .25

Nitrates - 5

pH - 8.2

Phosphates - .25

kH- 214.8

 

Do you guys think a few gallon water change will bring things down to where they need to be?

Did a 3 gallon water change..

Just getting antsy after adding the Bio-Spira. It claims to be able to add fish instantly but I wouldn't/didn't trust that.

 

I just got these readings:

SG: 1.026 (I wanted to get it a little higher before I added any life to the tank)

KH: 232.7

Calcium: 500

pH: 7.8

Nitrite: 0

Ammonia: .25

Phosphates: .25

Nitrate: 20

 

My calcium and alkalinity are high- what can I do about a that?

 

Was thinking about adding a small piece of rock from my other tank that has a little bit of GSP on it. Would I just be killing the GSP?
