Ok. I've got the water stabilized. pH at 8.4 (using R.O. to bring it down), s.g. at 1.0024, C at 450ppm, alkilinity at 320 milli/equiv. per liter. Two more weeks of cycling or so. I have 8.5 pounds of base rock in there for further seeding. I was planning to add 30 lbs of Gulf View in there, let that sit for 2 weeks, then start stocking. Will all of these be compatible?
1- Ocellaris (added last)
1- Fire or Purple goby (first)
1- Bangaii Cardinal (2nd)
3-4 Blood Fire Shrimp
3-4 Skunk Cleaner Shrimp
1 Brittle Star (after a few months)
1-2 Feather Dusters
10-12 Red Legged Hermits
Turbo snails as needed.
I plan on doing a 10% weekly water change, and I have all intentions of buying a refugium (19" by 4.5" by 12") and throwing in some live sand (how much?). Sound good? I'm just about ready. I wanted to say thank you to everyone who's helped me out and been oh so patient with questions I'm sure they're asked a few times a day, particularely Oriongirl. Thank you.
