What do I need to Purchase for Testing

how can you keep less then 2 nitrates?!?!?!?

 

yeah calcium and magnesium are important for corals, but other then that if you won't get corals then just focus on ph, ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate. start out with a damsel or chromis, maybe even a clownfish just to get the cycle started.

 

DSB,REFUGIUM, vodka/carbon dosing, stocking wise etc

 

Use a shrimp from the supermarket. Never cycle with life fish.

 

less than 2ppm

I have 0 according to my test kits
my 1st reading on the test kit I use (Red Sea) would be 5ppm
if I have a slight colour, but its not the colour on the 5ppm scale
then I may have 1 - 4 ppm nitrates
