Hi everyone,
I am a newbie and I just added LR to my tank yesterday. I tested my water today for the first time with my new Salifert test kits. The following are my water parameters:
Ammonia 0
Nitrites 1
Nitrates 50
Phosphates 0
Salinity 1.028
Temp. 82
Do these numbers look about where they should be 24 hours after adding LR? I'm not sure how to interpret these readings and what they signify as relating to my cycle. I think I have to bring my salinity down to between 1.026 - 1.027 and reduce my temp to around 80. This is a FOWLR set up. Any feedback and advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
