Hey, just posting some info on 20 gallon Saltwater tank. Started on 10 gallon post originally, but had spare 20 laying around. Its been a month now (2 weeks 10 gallon-transferred everything to 20 gallon plus 10 gallons of natural sea water last 2 weeks). Everything is fine still, water readings are as follows:
Ammonia-0 ppm
Nitrite-0 ppm
Nitrate-0 ppm
PH-8.2~8.3
Calcium-400 ppm
Phosphates-0.2 ppm
All readings taken after 4 gallon water change. Only Phosphates had a rise since tank started, all others have remained the same. Tank has 4 damsels, 2 blue legged hermits, 3-4 snails (lost count), 1 small horse shoe crab, 1 small Sally lightfoot crab, live sand 2-3 inched deep, and about 20-25 pounds of live rock with 1 set of polpys, and many tube worms in the rocks. Filtration consists of HOB filter & protein skimmer. Can e-mail pics if needed for setup appearance. *twirlysmiley*
