Need some help regarding saltwater aquarium

So i have to buy reactor too?

lol, don't go crazy for now and overdo. Most important thing to do at this moment is to do large water changes to bring your water parameters to an acceptable level. I would suggest 50% first followed by 2 20% all while removing those bioballs and adding those power heads
Next I would monitor my nitrate and phosphate for a week to check for any spikes.
If "Necessary" then purchase Purigen, No3Po4X or a reactor

Also, try using a return jet instead of having your water just dumped straight down into your tank

Forgot to ask the most important thing, are you using RO/DI water?

 

[Dashing.dayaa]

No tap water

 

[twilliard]

To help this situation the very first thing to look into is RODI

 

[Dashing.dayaa]

I used tap water
