Set up cost also up if you want to follow all the recommendations, CO2, sump, UV lgiht, etc.

We are very basic player

if weekly water changes seems like a hassle to you,then marine might not be your cup of tea.
you can prolong intervals between water changes by investing in a powerful skimmer,low bioload.
UV lights are not required in marine......CO2 only if you have a Ca reactor(also not a requirements unless you are keeping very Ca sucking corals like sps.)for lps normal water changes should be sufficient to replenosh requirements if you use a good salt.
do do more reading and decide what kind of livestocks you intend to keep. cost can be kept relatively low if all you want is a couple of clownfishes with some mushrooms.the cost escalates when you venture to more demamding corals.

end of the day,do remember.....marine is not a cheap hobby.

Hi there,

I had done all the tests and found that my KH is extremely high. Any idea how to bring it down?

Thx in advance,
Carol

do some water change using RO water.

What is a RO water?

[oceandeep]

RO = reverse osmosis.
