When the volume of water that has dripped into the
bucket has reached twice the original bag water quantity,
test the pH, salinity and temperature of the water in the
bucket. If they match the tank's parameters, you can

with the drip method until the parameters match. Be sure
to remove water from the bucket, if necessary, to prevent
overflow.
The stocked aquarium
The above steps should simplify and demystify the setup and
stocking processes for a reef aquarium. Remember to research
the needs of your desired fish and invertebrates to guarantee
that at the outset you have the time, energy and resources to
invest in their care. Be sure to resist the temptation to add all
the inhabitants at once. By stocking your aquarium slowly, you
greatly increase the inhabitants' chances of survival and your
chances of long-term success. With proper setup, diligent
patience and care, your Red Sea MAX aquarium and its
inhabitants will thrive, providing you with a beautiful,
fascinating ocean setting in your home.
