Well, it's about day 13 for my first SW 10g and this is what I got (It's a skimmerless system, 10% water changes/week)

NH3 = 0
NO2 = 0
NO3 = 0-5 hard to read, but I think it's zero
ph = 8.4
KH = 9
Salinity = 1.022
Temp = 78
10lbs of LR (in there since day 2)
10lb sand
5lb. aragonite
Maxijet MP400
Just got a Powersweep 212 today

I haven't got my lighting together yet, so I just have a 24" 20W laying on the glass top. But I plan to get at least 3.5W/g in future so I can have something besides JF.

Can I put something in now? Some clean up crewmembers? A fish or 2? I like the look of the Banjji (sp?) cardinals. I saw some in a lfs show tank that had young. Any ideas?

it sounds good for fish.

If you are considering inverts you might want to bump your salinity up to 1.025 or so.

Good point on the salinity and I'd try to get the KH up to about 11-12 while yer at it.

How would I get the KH up? I have about another 5lb. of aragonite. Would that increase it?
