Hi RP
I'm new to this hobby and been reading and lurking around the forum for quiet some time now. Wanted to share my tank, please feel free to comment so as to help me improve my setup.
Day 1
Bought 50g tank and stand
Day 2 - 6
Contacted Mang Ramon for 30g sump, plumbing and overflow box. Goods delivered after 4 days.
Bought equips from Ritchie
Jebo 520 skimmer
Rio HF10
API test kit
40kls sand
2bags Blue treasure SM
Resun hydrometer
Bought equips at Cartimar
Sunsun 12w
40kls LR
Day 7 - 9
Bought RO water and started mixing, after 3 days I go this reading from the hydrometer.
Day 10
Added LR then after the sand, also setup the sump and other stuff.
Day 11
Readings 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite and 10 nitrate. Hydrometer reading at 1.026 already, added RO water due to evaporation. Also removed the LR under the skimmer.
Day 12
Added 2pcs dead shrimp wrapped in filter pad and tied in the middle of the support to start the cycling.
Day 13
Water is cloudy and tested water parameters.
Day 14
Ammonia .50 nitrite .50 nitrate 80 ph 8.4
I'm hoping that I'm on the right path. Would update from time to time. Cheers!
