a few newb questions to ask want to know....
RAV-65 replied to SBS_Transit's topic in New to the Marine Aquaria Hobby
No offense to anybody : Knowing dat marine fish keeping is an expensive hobby, there are people around who just started for the love of the hobby, but due to financial constraints, they may have to keep a low budget, thus having to ask more questions to find a cheaper alternative... But dat's exactly the purpose of setting up a forum like this, I believe AT would agree, for exchange of information and "good deals" so dat money would not be wasted... Alvy 's question may be boring to some, but being a new hobbyist I would understand as I work long hours and I dun have much time to read all the threads, maybe only 5-10%.... And being new to the hobby, I'm feeded with so much information dat I have to digest... In Alvy's case, maybe he wants to get a cheaper hydrometer, to invest in another test kit dat would be beneficial to his fishes well-being.... Please dun shoot down every question that people may post around here, as boring or as redundant as they may be at times, there are people around who doesn't know much but would want to keep this hobby, they may invest more in areas like more expensive skimmers, but wat's wrong if they wanna buy a cheaper hydrometer? Thank you for your interest in reading. Vincent Ho -

Hallo guys, wow, didn't know there are so much things i have to do and not to do. I got the tank about 2 weeks plus ago from a friend, it used to be a pretty matured tank and when he wanted to give everything away, we transported the tank to my place with the tank still half loaded with the saltwater and sand and all.... I thought it was okay to add in LS coz the water seems very clear and there's no smell... there's abit of problem with no2 but the ammonia seems fine..... ph at 8.1-8.2, still trying to raise it slowly.... salinity at 1.023.... no2 reading is 0,5mg/L according to the test kit reading... anyone can tell me wat to do to bring down the no2? no3 seems to be 50mg/L if i haven't read the testkit results wrongly.... The anemone seems to be okay for now, fishes are eating.... Anyone got more advise for me? Would appreciate it... Vincent Ho
