Hey all just joined the forum and set up my tank today. i have a 20h with cascade 200 filter and just a basic uv light. i am saving up for a t5. i just added my bottom layer of substrate and live sand. i also added some dead coral that i got from the pet shop my water temp is good @ 77 degrees but i added way to much salt and it is thru the roof. just curious how i would get it down. should i just swap out some water and everything. i added the rec. amount of conditioner and i also added fritz zyme #9 . Just looking for some tips and helpful hints to have a thriving tank along with any other "tools" i might need to make it a better tank i may eventually add some coral and live rock but right now i just want a fish only tank to make sure i really wanna get into it. right now i have a 150 gallon acyrlic tank in my spare room that i got for free. so i just wanna start off small and cheap and if i get into it move up to the big tank and if not anyone wanna buy a 150 gallon for cheap lol
