Hi Guys,

I purchased the Fluval Reef range it is the 91 litre model but I am sure it only holds 75.

I set up 4 days ago used live sand, and bought 7kg of live rock.

Yesterday I noticed around 6 rock worms/feather dusters which is great.

I done water tests this morning just to check and this is my results.

No3 0
No2 0
Ca 300
KH 13
pH 8.2

Everything seems OK apart from Calcium a little low and KH a little high.

What should i do now ? I want to get some sort of life in there possible a few crabs just to keep the Cycle going...

Any help much appreciated.

Don't add any livestock during the cycle, the ammonia will either kill or injure anything in the tank. I would add a dead raw shrimp to help start the cycle, then sit back and let nature take over.

Hi thanks for the help.. I was thinking of maybe adding frozen foods as if I was feeding fish would that help also ?

Kill 2 birds with 1 stone. Use frozen shrimp.
