The problem with taking water from the Ocean is we pollute way to much. I wouldn't trust anything that comes from a couple miles of the shore line.
Ammonia should always be 0. unless your going threw a cycle. Phosphates are high. I would ask when the lfs last changed filters on the RO and if they...
I keep mine at77 to 78. I have a brittle star and from what I have read starfish prefer cooler water. High temps increase their metabolism and can...
