I am new to salt water tanks I have a few qestions.
I have set up my tank with the salt water and live rock base. I let it sit for 24hrs before testing the water for nitrate, nitrite, pH, and ammonia, which none was present. Today I added live rock. Here are some questions.
1. I have some dead coral I found in hawaii that I want to add to my tank. What do I have to do to condition it for the tank??
2. How often should I test the water now that I have live rock in the tank??
3. How long until I add creatures?? Fish, hermet crabs, snails, live coral.
4. How often should I change water in the tank, and should I start keeping salt water available now for the changes??
Thanks for your help.
