Hello all,
First attempt at a SW tank or any tank at all. A friend that has a 8g convinced me to give in and give it a shot. [smilie=clapping.gif] Probably won't do any fish since it is such a small tank but who knows what will happen.
Here are some photos of me setting up the tank.

I filled the tank up on 5/12 put in two more pieces of rock on 5/13 and measured the ammonia which was non-existent. I put 5 drops of ammonia in and it came in at .5 I figured that was a good start. Measured ammonia yesterday and it was still around .5 for kicks I measured nitrites and nitrates.

Measured them again this morning 5/15 and they seem pretty close to yesterdays levels. [smilie=thinking.gif]

I'm obviously a newb when it comes to all the levels but those levels seem odd across the board. Does anyone have any input in regards to the levels?
