Hello...
i got a 10G tank and my built in pump na and filter. it was gift so i thought of trying out saltwater fishes with prolly some live corals (if possible). i have been reading some blogs and watching youtube videos but i do hope you can answer some questions before i go full blown into this hobby.
1. i actually started the cycle but not sure if i did the process correctly. followed one on youtube. i used tap water, put some chlorine conditioner and saltmix. using hydrometer it is now in the acceptable salinity last time i check. the water in the is on it's 4th day now. (tama ba ginawa ko?)
2. it got a built in filter. because it is small (actually a nano) should i still need a skimmer?
3. what do you recommend for me to use for water heater... i still dont have one. (do i still need one?)
4. can i buy in cartimar some test kits for nitrate ..ammonium etc? how much?
5. when can i start adding first 1 or 2 live corals? the 1 fish?
suggestions?
5. i saw in one youtube video that i can expedite the cycle by 7 days by putting ammonium mix (?) and nitr
