Hello to my new hobby and everyone here!
I found a s 28 gallon nano cube with mods and A TON of chems, instruments, live rock and a clownfish on craigslist. I now realize this is just like my rc hobby in the fact I that I jumped in head first. I dont know what alot of the chems and stuff are for but I am managing to figure out the optical refractometer and digital ph tester that came with the bundle. Anyways, long story short I got a shit ton to learn!!
And and all help with the do's and do not's are greatly appreciated!
Here are a couple of my MANY MANY questions.....
1. What do I use to adjust all the chemical parameters of the tank? I prefer the better chems for my pool so im sure you get what you pay for in the tank also.
2.where is the best placd to get chems and fish online?
3. What is the best way to "make water"
4. The tank had alot of green algae yesterday when I purchased it but the clownfish was alive, I cleaned the live rock with a brush underwater and filtered through an sanitized rag to try to get rid of some of it. But I didnt mess with the sand much as to try to keep active bacteria for the tank. The tank looks great now at my house after the move and I did use all the same water he had in it.
How do I keep the green scum out of my tank?
Thanks so much in advance guy's and gal's, this is going to be fun for me and the kiddo's. Below is a picture of my tank, I had to use the "displacement method" untill today when I go to the fish store for more water because I had a slight spill tranfering water during the move lol
