Ok I'm going to take my water to the store and have them test it tomorrow. I don't use tap water at all for the water changes I use store water from their system that they mix up to sell to customers. I was chicken to do my own. I think the previous owner was mixing it himself, but I'm not 100 percent on that. Ill have to ask. I have a chiller, it just isn't installed due to the fact I don't know how to install it, and was told I needed a dremel tool to do it with. Now, do they sell for example.. "seachem makes a reef salt mix for lake malawi and lake tangayika cichlids that you can add to your water and it increases the
ph and hardeness and all in one dose. when I used to use that I'd premix it in the buckets then slowly add to the tank".. Does anyone make a similiar product for salt water reef tanks? I have noticed the temp swings with my house temp. it got cold outside last night and the lights were on on the tank, but the temp dropped to 77.7 So I'm going to adjust the heater. ALso, can I use my freshwater tests kits for the hardness on the reef tank ? TY for all the help. Katherine
