Saltwater tank setup help needed
Hi everyone I am new to this I bought a 55 gallon tank and I had to make RO/DI water at 0ppm.
it was 0ppm when I was putting it into my bucket to carry over to the tank but I had rinsed the aggronite sand and out it in the bottom of my tank before my tank ppm went up and I assume that's normal with the sand but why does the ppm keep going up it was low at first and then it was in the 60 range and now it's around 125ppm I haven't added anything to the water I just have the water running through the filter as I think I heard is is good to just let the water run for a few weeks before starting if that's wrong please feel free to let me know! I'm not really sure what I'm doing!
I want to get clownfish first as well and I have to get some decor pieces for the tank too but I would be happy for recommendations on what to put in with the clownfish. I would like to get some shrimp and if possible starfish and corals and live plants!
Any advice would be helpful thank you!!
