This will be a mixed reef. I'm currently using the 30ppm TDS water for a 6g coral-only nano without any issues but want to do this the right way when I get my 68g up and running. I've read elsewhere that in high TDS tap water areas elsewhere in the country (200-300) - people are getting...
I've got whole house water filtration that gives 47 TDS at my sink and 30 TDS through an inline carbon block .5 micron filter going to the fridge. I'll be aging the salt mix for at least a few days which will allow the 2ppm chlorine coming from the tap to vent/burn off. Water from carbon filter...

Just wanted to say hello to my fellow SIers...
I'm in the process of starting up a 6g nano reef. Tank is cycled and am researching live stock next (easy LPS). CUC is on the way and should be here next week. For fish, eventually, 1 clown and that's it.
I'm hoping to be successful with the...
