Hi Patrice,

My pH meter was not correctly setup.
My correct pH is 7.9
I think it sounds good too.. What do you think?
Thanks again

Nice looking tank! :) Just make sure that you observe if your Chaetomorpha actually grows in your tank over time. Not all Cheatomorpha spp. grow in brackish water. I tested several species before I found one that actually grows in even really low salinity brackish water. I don't know what species it is, but it is much softer than the usual coarse, hard to the touch Chaetomorpha species sold for reef tanks.

Thanks Mustafa.
My only doubt it was about the rock I put there.
I have asked to my retailer to have a calcium carbonate rock and he gave me the one you see in the picture.
I hope it is ok. I was forcedto trust him because I do not know the rocks.
Do you think is it ok?
For the chaetomorpha it seems growing a little bit after 8 days...l i let you know.

Hey ya Epappolla
Most SaltWater Species like the PH to be about 8.0-8.5. Ur tanks startin to look good & come together. The rock looks like a lime rock it will do the same job.
