Hello everybody!
I just have a couple more saltwater questions. For now.
1. How do you check for ammonia, nitrate, and nitrite? How many times a week do I have to check those? What are appropriate levels?
2. I know if you put about a teaspoon of baking soda in the water per ten gallons it will raise the ph of the water to 8.1-8.4. Is this safe for the fish?
3.Can I use regular sand in my saltwater aquarium?
4. What is the difference between a reef tank, coral reef, and FOWLR tanks? If in my tank I have fake coral is sand on the bottom and fish, what does that make my tank?
5. What is the difference between dKH and calcium hardness?
Thanks!!
