    Just for those of you that have been helping me out a lot and I mean a lot. Thanks for all the help. Tank has been up and running for 4 weeks and I finally did my first water check. PH is at 8.3 to 8.4. Ammonia is at 0, Nitrite is at 0. And Nitrate is at 0. Also my diatom blooms have gone away. I am very excited but now for getting one of the reef test kits to check my other parameters. Thanks again to all. ;D ;D ;D
