Welcome and nice setup by the way!
Start low. I have Vega's and had Sol's. You should be fine starting around 30% and working your way up from there slowly.
With ammonia, any testable amount is a serious problem.
**crickets** Look, if this is true, its kinda scary, or at least interesting. I know Vivid was trying to figure out the best settings at one...
I loved my Sols until I got the Vegas. I still think very highly of the Sol, but the Vega is even better. You'll enjoy them.
I'm really happy with my Vega's. The color looks great and my corals are looking brighter than with the Sols (which I liked). I'm running a program...
I don't think I'm alone in saying an ATO is one of the best purchases I ever made for a tank. The natural way is a great goal, but you're keeping an...

Check out the official Ecobak thread on this site. Along with the fact that it works well, that thread explains why many of us use only Ecobak.
I'd like a look at the study, sounds interesting. I'm sure Dr. Tim's, for instance, is also mutating away while beng produced, so I'm curious if...
Funny you link to that. That tank and that sitting area has been an inspiration for me and a motivator for my wife in this hobby. As for the...
Okay, I'm a bad person for using that title. The point is, I want ideas on how I can design my perfect tank. I have a little while to go. My wife...
I would give my left... well, something valuable for a live continuous alkalinity monitoring method.
Since salinity can be measured by conductivity, it should be possible to automate the process and include reliable failsafes (two conductors and an...
