A Month In
By this time, I had been reading tons about my new hobby. I had a good basic book, The Encyclopedia of the Marine Aquarium (Red Sea), and was reading website after website. Some of my favorites were:
About.com's Guide to Saltwater Aquariums
Melev's Reef
Reef.org's Beginner Guide
Reef Central's 'So You Want To Start A Marine Tank'
These sites really got me started in this whole hobby. There were countless other sites that I found through various Google searches, but these were the meaty ones I most relied on to make decisions.
I continued to add rock and test the water for several weeks during all of this. My ammonia was low, but present, so I reacted by doing a few water changes. When the ammonia didn't budge, I decided perhaps the issue was my ammonia test, rather than my ammonia. I bought a new test, and lo and behold, my ammonia was gone.
