hey peoples a little about my tank. its a 37 gallon with a ten gallon sump:
25lbs live sand
45lbs live rock
250w heater
295 gph koralia nano powerhead
custom top that is octoproof and so is my overflow box
75 gallon eshopps gen 2 skimmer
well now that you got the basics my question is? how long do I have to wait before I can get a octo? its been about 3 weeks. i got my rock from my LFS so its really matured and has lots of coraline algae on it. this is my testing results:
salinity: 1.025
PH: 8.2
nitrate: 0
nitrite: 0
alkalinity: 300ppm
calcium: 450ppm
i also use RO water ONLY!
also should I test for other stuff? I mean when do you know that your tank is mature enough for a ceph?
