Yup. Took awhile to get the salinity up. I have a new problem. My refractometer says 42 ppt. But my APEX salinity probe says 33.5 ppt. I don't have a way to calibrate either...so I'm not sure which one is right. I might have to bring my refractometer to the LFS, and confirm tomorrow.
I'm going to try the fishless ammonia cycle using Dr. Tim's Ammonia Chloride solution to get the ammonia up. The plan is to add a couple different brands of bacteria like BIO-Spira, MB StartXLM, PNS, etc.
Any local reefers (near Orange) can scrape off some coralline algae for me to seed my tank? I will dip and sprinkle into my tank to get it going.
