Firtst off, NOTHING is too much for me at this stage in the game....write as mch as you want cuz I am still learning.
Im using pre mixed salt water from the LFS which recently has been of questionable quality. Thus far my PH has been VERY consistent (reading the crappy tetra kit it is always at 8 (+/-) 1-2 for the spread on the color chart).
I also have two awesome long pieces of LR in my 2nd chamber that fill the space and can be easily removed beneath the filter floss. The floss is completely submerged beneath the overflow from chamber 1 and I clean it every couple days. think it is doing a good job and not growing aerobics like the balls would.
Thanks for yor input !!! I think I have panicked once or twice wihtout reason. Just a noob here.
