Post by PufferBabe »

i bought a saltwater master test kit and came home and tested my 75gallon. and my results are...

ammonia 0.25 ppm
pH 8.2
nitrite 0 ppm
nitrate 80 ppm

which is sooo strange because i just got some more live rock and did a 50% water change saturday...

i only have 3 gsps in there..i know its too much for the tank but they are still juveniles..and im working on a bigger tank..

idk what to do :( i have about 30 pounds of LR

i dont yet have a protein skimmer

but im running a bio wheel filter

what could i do to get the levels down??

btw the s.g is 1.022

plz help :(
