Tank Readiness Check
Hey folks,
Just wanted to get a readiness check on my new tank. It's a 125 gallon with 30 gallon sump with the following equipment and water parameters: 1x Aqueon 300w heater in sump 2x 800 GPH power head Bubble magus curve 5 skimmer Sycra 5 return pump 90 lbs live rock (it's extremely skeletonized and has massive surface area) ~60 lbs black Hawaiian sand Ammonia 0 Nitrite 0 Nitrate 15 Phosphate 2 (not sure why...I'm not feeding and its RODI water) Temp 79.3 Tank has been up for a little over 2 weeks. I tested it by increasing ammonia up to 2 ppm and it was converted to nitrates within 24 hours. I currently have 3 turbo snails and a cowrie snail in the dt, with cerith, nassarius and macro in refugium. Is this thing ready for fish? It'll be FOWLR Thanks
